ATTN: Australians, mostly ;-)

During the week of ALIA at which Sue Gardner keynoted, the Wikimedia Australia committee consulted with Australian GLAM partners and formulated a concept to support a significant number of Wikimedians in Residence across Australia.

If you will reside in Australia in the 2013-14 financial year, and can work as a WiR one day a week for six months, please apply here (and/or tell your friends):

If you think cultural institutions in your region will be interested and have relevant material in their collection, please ask them to email committee@wikimedia.org.au .
