I could give a lightning talk on "why WiRs should edit Wikipedia". I submitted a
proposal on the
topic<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia%2BLibraries/Program/Subm…
to the Wikipedia+Libraries conference, but I think for Wikimania I would step back from
the "hot take" angle and just be matter-of-fact about the benefits. 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.

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
