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 will be there

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

I will also be there in person! I’d be interested in joining. If we wanted to talk about tools I would gladly share about View It!

Thanks,

Hello all

Turns out that I will be attending Wikimania afterall.

So same question than last year really...

Did someone already submitted a proposition about WREN and WIR ?

If not... anyone interested for a joint effort ? in presence or distance.

Here is a link to last year submission : https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2023:Program/GLAM,_Heritage,_and_Culture/WDZBPN-Learn_and_discuss_with_member_of_the_Wikimedians_in_Residence_Exchange_Network

Some thoughts

1) Related to WIPO, 3 years down the line... what worked... what did not work... what the plans are

2) Update about the tools and Wikimedia metrics issues.

3) Cool initiatives in Europe ?

4) Topics recently raised by Blace - to be discussed during Wikimedia Summit. Lessons from those discussions ? More proactive position in WM 2030 strategy implementation ?

What do you think ?

Hello all

One year later... I would like to invite potential attendees for a shared submission proposition to Wikimania about WREN and WIR. Possibly more a panel type of submission than separated presentations.

Any one interested to join on drafting such a submission on a shared doc ?

Cheers

Flo

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
