Rachel, I think it would be great to have someone discuss this. As someone who spends most of her time updating out-of-date science information on Wikipedia I think it's really important that we are represented as WiR and not pushed out of the space. 
(just don't ask me about Domestication of the horse unless you want to hear about it!)

Sounds good. I think it'd be ideal for us to plan together at least what we might cover in each lightning talk. Just to make ensure we're being broad enough and not over emphasizing one point or another. Should we have a meeting to brainstorm? Good idea about Streamyard. I haven't used it before.

I think for our session, each of us doing a 5 minute lighting talk, pre-recorded, would be ideal. Even if you're available for "live" during Wikimania, it will take the pressure off and allow you to focus on making the best 5 minute lightning talk possible. 

We have had good luck with using Streamyard so that people can self-record a talk with their webcam and screen share happening at the same time, which is pretty nice.

Rachel, If they record it, will you share? I realize they aren't doing a hybrid event, so not sure if that'll be possible. But I want to hear your hottake!

I know this could be a controversial topic with some attendees, so I could do a related topic instead like avoiding COI if that would be easier.

Thanks all, I have submitted a session. Here's the raw info I submitted:

Hi all, thanks for the feedback and enthusiasm.

After reviewing all of the responses, I will submit a basic panel with a number of quick 5 minute lightning talks (pre-recorded preferably) of WiR would be great, and a roundtable afterwards of folks who might be interested in discussing new opportunities with the audience.

We can determine the exact folks later, but for now I'll list Jamie, Tochi, Mike, Amanda, Rachel, Florence, and myself.

Hello Andrew
A WREN panel sounds good. I would like to definitely be part of it but a recorded video as I already have one with WMDE and planning to submit another before the 12th deadline.

Let me know how I can get involved.

Best
Tochi

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
