Thank you for putting in this proposal, Florence. I am happy to adapt to whatever format
we end up using.
Best wishes,

Subject: [Wren] Fwd: Re: WREN or GLAM Wiki panel for Wikimania?
Hello
I can not remember if I posted the link to the Wikimania proposal :
https://wikimania.eventyay.com/2024/talk/review/EGFJNMN3MF8FNGJSPKANFCELC7F…
I still have not found out how to add co-speakers... does anyone know ?
Best

Hi all,
Deadline is approaching, though I have it on decent authority that the deadline will be
extended at least a few days.
I'm happy to be part of the WREN roundtable focusing on WiR challenges/approaches,
though since I'm proposing some other sessions, I'm happy to take a "back
seat" on this one and defer to others.
Note that there is also "yet another" GLAM panel organized with Sandra
Fauconnier, Susanna Anas, Larissa Borck and others re: "Towards a cultural
commons..." which has overlap with WiR but with a particular focus.

I still find the closing words of Lane Rasberry and Mike Dickison from last year's
Wikimania panel ringing in my ears:
https://www.youtube.com/live/r6J_vNbWLY8?si=t8vOId5zoU0RyXEX&t=10057
"There's a problem in that the free tools that we use to measure impact are
broken... they are broken because it's no one's job to maintain them. Our
livelihoods and jobs depend on this. Institutions are canceling Wikimedian in residence
contracts because there's now no way to demonstrate impact. This is a critically
important problem for the community to discuss. We need some solutions. We need
commitment. We need commitment from the foundation otherwise the job of a Wikimedian in
residence will disappear."
So one aspect of the panel could be to reassess the situation in light of this comment, in
2024.

ok
So so far, we do have
* Andrew talk about GLAM CSI
* Possibly a roundtable with at least Jamie, Lane, Andrew and myself (anyone else
interested ?)
* A peer to peer WIR meetup for networking (which may be conflated with the above in
fact... meet-ups spots are often a bit challenging at Wikimania; easier to set-up in
smaller conferences)
Anyone else ?

I'll be there too! I am going to propose a session related to my new project which
I'm happy to expand to include others or we could propose another one dedicated to
another wikimedian in residence topic.

I talked last year; would join and support a session but others should talk.
Instead of a session or in addition to a session would like a wiki in residence meetup for
peer to peer networking
