Nice! I would be interested to follow and maybe even to contribute if it would not have only a top tier approach with 'major accomplishments'. Curious of all but no valuable contribution...can only talk on bootstrapping work from scratch here (but would also be curious to discuss such under-priviledged 'development' situations for which WMF has no organized support (aside from experimental WikiLearn with Asaf) and my WREN chats with you and private consultations were useful.

I submitted something already for this. Let me know if you'd like to be involved with the lightning talks or the discussion. This is a 90 minute session.
Abstract: State of GLAM Wiki in 2021
The State of GLAM Wiki session aims to cover the major accomplishments of the cultural and heritage work in the Wikimedia community in the last year (or two) and to discuss new work and horizons.
This session will consist of a background talk on the state of GLAM Wiki for newcomers, a series of lightning talks from different folks in the GLAM space, and a roundtable discussion on future directions and projects.

I would support WREN doing something to host a State of GLAM time block at Wikimania, I think that could be a good fit.
Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos)

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.
