Thanks to everyone who joined the April WREN call! :

For the next one, I'd propose Tuesday May 13, at 15 UTC, if that works.
And maybe also establish a regular schedule on the second Tuesdays of the
month?
Best,

Hello :)
*(survey incoming, apologies for the cross posting)*
The global GLAM community is buzzing with activity! Across the world, there
are meetings, campaigns, and projects all working to connect culture and
heritage with Wikimedia initiatives.
Earlier this year, the GLOSS working group was formed to explore what kind
of GLAM structure would best serve the community at this point, and what
needs it should address. This working group builds on years of
progress—especially the recent momentum—to further embed the GLAM community
within our movement.
As mentioned during last week’s Global Call, the working group is now
launching a needs assessment survey. Its purpose is to better understand
the global community and, ultimately, help shape a new approach that
supports GLAM activities around the world.
You can learn more about the GLOSS working group on the Meta page
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/GLOSS
Most importantly, if you have thoughts on what a centralized GLAM structure
could look like—what needs it should meet, how it could support your work
and contribute to the broader movement—please take 5 minutes to fill out
the survey!
*Deadline 12 May!*

And feel free to spread the word! Share it with your local chapter, other
affiliates, or directly with fellow editors and volunteers.
The survey is already available in 4 languages. You can translate the
survey meta page, and we will update the survey with your translation!
Best,
GLOSS Working Group!
Hi fellow Wikimedians-in-Residence,
I'd like to call an ad-hoc meeting to jumpstart the WREN group again, with
a first meeting on Wednesday April 16 of next week:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_in_Residence_Exchange_Network/2…
Have started an agenda there, feel free to add to it, and please also add
your RSVP!
(Apologies about picking a meeting time somewhat arbitrarily, hopefully
after the call we can come together to select a meeting schedule that fits
the most WiRs in our community.)
Thanks,
Richard
