Please, do you know any vastly experienced Wikipedian within the English
and French community that you can recommend to be a juror for a project
based on EnWiki, FrWiki and Wikidata?
I'll be glad to get any recommendations or PM.
Cheers.
Daniel.
Hello WREN friends,
I've mentioned that I'm doing a lightning talk on why WiRs should edit Wikipedia. I mention the work of Mary Mark Ockerbloom, John P. Sadowski, and Ji Yun Alex Jung, as well as the recent Smithsonian intern Mia Cariello.
Please let me know if:
1. You are mentioned and you would like me to
* not mention you or
* use a different example of your work.
2. You would like me to mention your work (I'm looking for examples that help fill some of the knowledge gaps identified by WMF).
3. You have other comments.
You can see my draft here<https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1V1GWwcGmr4Uclvvrv_PCceYVR6v9jQYGCzx…>.

Hi all, this is a request for your insights and wisdom. And for some fun
and interesting conversation.
I'll be giving a talk next week at the Chautauqua Lecture Series,
addressing the "Future of History" to an audience of ordinary folks. (In
the US, Chautauqua is a famous intellectual summer camp for lifelong
learners).
So my request to you: In what ways is the Wikimedia movement addressing the
challenge of crafting the future of history? I'd love to quote some
insights from WREN to a larger audience.
The full description of the topic is below. Thanks!

The Future of History
We live our lives swimming in a vast sea of information; what will wash up
on the future’s shores and be deemed our history? When data is stored in
the cloud rather than compiled in physical files, when we send emails and
tweets rather than letters, how do the records of today become primary
sources tomorrow? There are more ways to record history than ever before,
but how can those records live in a useful way for the historians of the
future — or, with everyone having the technology, and thus the capability,
to be their own historian, their own librarian, will a need to study
history as a formal vocation even exist? Beyond the logistics of such
questions, broader issues are at play: Who are the gatekeepers of our
stories, and who do we trust to be stewards of our lives and memories?
Thanks for doing this Andrew, looks great.

Hi all, thanks for the feedback and enthusiasm.
After reviewing all of the responses, I will submit a basic panel with a number of quick 5 minute lightning talks (pre-recorded preferably) of WiR would be great, and a roundtable afterwards of folks who might be interested in discussing new opportunities with the audience.
We can determine the exact folks later, but for now I'll list Jamie, Tochi, Mike, Amanda, Rachel, Florence, and myself.

Hello Andrew
A WREN panel sounds good. I would like to definitely be part of it but a recorded video as I already have one with WMDE and planning to submit another before the 12th deadline.
Let me know how I can get involved.
Best

Hi all,
There are two days left for submissions for Wikimania panels or sessions.
Has anyone submitted or is anyone planning on submitting sessions on their GLAM work, or might folks be interested in making a WREN panel to discuss the last year's worth of learnings, and also do some evangelism for WREN?
A very regrettable thing for this year's Wikimania is that the submissions are not public. That makes it impossible to figure out what other people are submitting or what they are thinking. So if you have any sessions you are proposing, do share them here. Or we can combine forces on a session.
Some thoughts:
1. From the Smithsonian side, we will likely submit one about the American Women's History Initiative and summing up our edit-a-thon and other activities - what we learned, what techniques have worked, and plans for the future.
2. GLAM tools and best practices - Incorporating SDC into the workflow, best tools for 2022? Might this be a session of interest for folks to collaborate on?
3. We've had a GLAM Culture Crawl day in the past, where we have training sessions and discussions oriented towards teaching GLAMs new to wiki contribution. Might this be an interesting thing to propose?
Any other ideas welcome.
-Andrew

Hi everyone,
During this week's WREN meeting, I mentioned the *Image Description Week*
that the WMF GLAM and Culture team is organizing.
And, as I promised, we now have a proper available page for the event. Here
it is <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image_Description_Week>. The already
participants still need to add themselves to the program properly, but I
hope you can read the page and maybe be inspired to organize an event or
simply participate in one.
The Image Description Week is happening from *May 16 to 22*, as a link to
the International Museum Day <https://imd.icom.museum/> (18 May) and the Global
Accessibility Awareness Day <https://accessibility.day/> (19 May).
Please, let me know if you have any questions or comments!
All the best,
