Dear Wikimedians,
It's a pleasure to inform you all that Liam Wyatthttp://www.wittylama.com/will be visiting India between 12th and 19th Feb to focus on GLAM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLAM_%28industry_sector%29related initiatives here.
Liam's visit to India is intended to support wikimedia communities to explore the possibilities of collaborating with Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) in strengthening articles on wikipedia of mutual interest.
Liam recently became a Wikimedia Fellow - http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2011/01/19/announcing-our-glam-fellow-liam-wy... Liam was the wikipedian in residencehttp://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2010/07/10/the-royal-cup-bridges-wikipedia-and-the-british-museum/ at the British Museum last year. Liam has been focussed on GLAM and was the convener of the GLAM-WIKI http://www.wikimedia.org.au/wiki/GLAM-WIKIevent held in Australia in August 2009.
It is great to have Liam visiting us. He will be visiting Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. We hope to make the most of Liam's visit to create more awareness for GLAM amongst wikipedians and connect with GLAM stakeholders wherever possible.
Liam will also be speaking at the ICLAMhttp://www.nift.ac.in/ICLAM_2011/index.htmconference on the 15th.
For coordinating events during his visit, I have create a GLAM project page on the India wiki, to help us all get started: http://wikimedia.in/wiki/Projects:GLAM_2011 There are city specific pages, each of which has a planning page.
We look forward to all your support and active participation to organize events and meeting in various cities. Wikipedians are requested to join the discussions in the planning pages for each city. .
regards Arun
