Hi all,
we had a small meetup in Bristol after Jimmy's talk, where we
discussed potential partners such as museums, libraries and societies
and how we can make use of meetings with them. I've written up some
ideas here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Bristol/Local_outre…
Clearly some fantastic work is already going on with the GLAM sector
nationally, and locally Steve Virgin has been up to an enormous amount
of local networking that this would build on. It would be great to get
together a list of contacts and where we are with them. The above page
could be used to list partners we're engaging with, and perhaps there
should be a private page somewhere for sharing contact names, phone
numbers and finding dates when we and the contacts are available.
It may seem odd to put it in Wikiproject Bristol, and it's not ideal,
but frankly I'm a bit confused by all the different places where
WP/WM outreach material is supposed to go, and most importantly there
are local Wikipedians who are crucial to the success of this effort, who
can't be assumed to be watching the other sites (until we get interwiki
watchlists).
Any input welcome,
