Dear Wikimedians,
It's a pleasure to inform you all that Liam
Wyatt<http://www.wittylama.com/>will be visiting India between 12th and 19th Feb to
focus on
GLAM <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLAM_%28industry_sector%29>related 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 -

Liam was the wikipedian in
residence<http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2010/07/10/the-royal-cup-bridge…
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-WIKI>event
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
ICLAM<http://www.nift.ac.in/ICLAM_2011/index.htm>conference 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
