Forwarding, as this announcement may be relevant here too! ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: John Andersson <john.andersson(a)wikimedia.se> Date: Thu, Aug 22, 2019 at 4:40 PM Subject: [GLAM] Announcing an initiative by WMSE and WMF for GLAM communities of practice To: <glam(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hi all, Starting from July 2019, Wikimedia Sverige and the Wikimedia Foundation's GLAM team work together on an initiative to create a better and more sustainable technical infrastructure for global heritage and content partnerships. This initiative is in its very early stages. We have just given a first presentation about it at Wikimania [1], of which you can watch the video recording [2], read the discussion notes [3], and/or browse the slides with speaker notes [4]. We have now also published information and a landing page about this initiative on meta.wikimedia.org [5], where we warmly welcome your first remarks, questions and feedback on the talk page [6]. We look forward to engage many of you in the research and scoping that will take place in the upcoming year!
