Hi Nicolas, 

Thanks for getting back to me (excuse my late reply). 
And good to know that you think there wasn't a residency in the Caribbean. So far I have not heard that there was one, so we might be the first. 

And also: would you remember the name of that person that was in Tel Aviv? I would love to know who it was so I could reach out to them (I do not think it was someone related to this project). 

Hartelijke groet,

Michelle van Lanschot

Hi Michelle,

For the first question, and based on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedian_in_residence, I'm 90 % sure there was no residency in the Caribbean so far. So it would indeed be a first.

PS: I think I remember that there was someone from Aruba at the GLAM wiki conference back in 2018 in Tel Aviv, nice to see things moving forward.

Cheers,
Nicolas

Hi Michelle, 

This is exciting. I'm glad to expand on my experience as a WIR at Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), where the collecting interests lie in the work of artists from the U.S. Latino experience, the African diaspora, Latin America, and the Caribbean. You can find me at mblanc@pamm.org. 

Best, 
Michaela

Hi Michelle,

I don’t have much to offer, but we would love to connect if you have contacts in the Caribbean. We at WikiConference North America have been trying to reach more people from the region, and may be able to offer travel scholarships to the conference this year in October.

Dear all,

Wikimedia Nederland has been granted project funding for the project Wikipedia on Aruba, which entails a Wikimedian in Residence role for the island of Aruba which is part of the Caribbean part of the Netherlands. The Wikimedian in Residence will work with our local cultural heritage partners towards the projects main goal of encouraging and supporting a thriving and sustainable Wikimedia community in Aruba, focused on documenting and sharing Aruban culture and heritage through Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata.

We are currently setting up the project, and I was wondering about two things you might be able to help me out with:
* Is this the first Wikimedian in Residence role located in the Caribbean?
* do you have any current job offer descriptions for WiRs you might be able to share with me to help us draft?

I look forward to hearing from you, thank you so much for getting back to me!

Kind regards,

Michelle van Lanschot
Projectleider
