Hi all, I was wondering if WREN wanted to officially submit a session idea for the Wikimania online conference this year (August 13-17). The submissions are a bit different in that you can submit as affiliates or individuals and it's all "closed" on its own system. I jotted down a bunch of GLAM ideas here on this Chat page, in case people wanted to look at the ideas or if WREN wanted to "claim" one of the focus areas: https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Submissions/Chat#GLAM
Funny that you call it a Chat page, but I get your idea of pre-submission consultation *(something all community driven conferences should have)
IDEAS: I could see WREN wanting to host #1 (State of GLAM Wiki) since there is no official "GLAM" user group and WREN is perhaps the only steward of this wide space that is an affiliate. Another option is #3 (Tools and tech) since we have had a lot of discussion in WREN calls of best practices and tool sharing. Feel free to discuss on this list or on that wiki page. -Andrew
I will likely be traveling in this period and would focus in advance on preparing something on my #1stWikimedianInResidenceHR (Croatia)... Curious and enthusiastic to see how WREN can surface collectively.
