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
Tochi

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.

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,

Hi all,
As a bit of a surprise, the Wikimedia Summit 2022 announced they are going
to have an in-real-life meeting September 9-11, 2022 (2022-09-09 to 09-11).
They are only giving us two weeks to designate one person to apply to
attend, which is very fast.
I wanted to start this thread to get folks thinking before our meeting
tomorrow, to see who might be interested in going. We have rarely had any
kind of Wikimedia movement gathering in September of any particular year,
so the timing is a bit unusual as it tends to be busy with a number of
start-of-school activities in certain places.
The focus will be on movement strategy among other things. I'm putting a
link to the announcement here. Feel free to send any questions or discuss
via email or come to the meeting tomorrow.
