Friends,
We signed off 2013 and welcomed 2014 in style with a classic GLAM program at the National Museum in New Delhi. This is the best program I had seen till date.
Join me in applauding Arun Ram, LShyamal, Konarak Ratnakar, and Swapnil for their contribution in making this event a success.
Andrew Gray (WMUK) contributed to the first session related to this program with a personal address to the Museum folks on 23rd Dec 2013. We concluded the workshop on 5th Jan 2014. We still have some time to go before the 71 articles pilot is completed. That could take about 6 months.
About 20 people have been trained and teams of about 4 members jointly worked on an article, and they were helped through till the publication of their first article. None of these are stubs. About 5 articles were published and their QRcode posted at the Museum.
The enthusiasm of the participants was excellent. The support from the partner institution was great. We look forward to a great time for GLAM activities in India.
Regards, Sowmyan
Excellent Sowmyan, great team work. Thanks to Konarak, shyamal, Swapnil and Arun for being part of it.
Can you please also share links or article names that are created part of this event and for which QRCodes are generated? I suppose it will be good idea to translate/create those articles in other Indic languages as well.
