Hi all, since we are overdue for a WREN meeting, I'd like to propose a meeting on Wednesday with a special topic related to the recent news of a "Wikipedia NFT" auction by Jimmy Wales; a recent Twitter interaction with Creative Commons about NFT; and a larger discussion of the open GLAM space as it relates to NFT and the crypto community.
SAVE THE DATE: Wednesday, December 6, 2021, 1700 UTC
Sorry for the short notice and the short note, but I wanted to put it on your calendar.
I'll update the meta page with some basic info but invite folks to add to this.

Hi all, we are having a special open meeting of the WREN (Wikimedians in Residence Exchange Network) today (Wednesday, December 8, 2021, 1700 UTC, 12 noon Eastern US) to discuss "Open GLAM as it relates to the NFT and crypto space" which was prompted by the recent NFT auction of "Wikipedia's First Edit" by Jimmy Wales. We felt it was an ideal time to discuss the greater issue, and will have a number of special folks join beyond the regular Wikimedians-in-residence crew including Douglas McCarthy, Creative Commons representatives, and those from the greater open GLAM community.
Those interested in the issue are welcome to join and do not need to be a Wikimedian-in-residence. However, issues related to GLAM Wiki and Wikimedians in Residence will be given priority. Douglas McCarthy has been on the front lines of debating the use of NFT in the GLAM space, and this piece is a good backgrounder: https://apollo-magazine.com/should-museums-be-dabbling-in-nfts/ Meeting details here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_in_Residence_Exchange_Network
I lucked out and finally got a booster appointment. I may not be back by at the start but will hop on as soon as I can. I'll check the notes.
Thanks,
Jamie
