Yup - It is a bit strange, but I also do not know if it was like that pre-pandemic... @Pharos would you be there via the Movement Charter drafting group? Who are the other members that might be there anyway? It would be awesome if more people can join. I am interested in attending.

A few notes: 1. Most of the conversation for this is happening in the Telegram group for Movement Strategy. Organizers are indicating that it is going to be very strict and restricted to one representative per affiliate, and there is not even a guarantee that everyone will be able to go. It will depend on COVID vaccination status, visas, etc. In short, there appear to be no extra spots and unlike earlier Wikimedia Summits 2. This is the first year WREN will be eligible to go to Wikimedia Summit. I'd be interested in going to represent WREN for Movement Strategy and to help with the learning days function, depending on what their plans are. By all accounts, they don't have any firm plans yet and are trying to figure it out. In the past, the Summit has had some dedicated days for tutorials and training, and we could certainly do something around GLAM tools, not only for IRL attendees but remotely too. Either in person or remote, I'm happy to help. It's very confusing about how much they are going to allow outsiders to participate, as they are protective of small group dynamics. But for training and learning, they may be more inclusive. 3.

I support you Andrew. I'll be applying as a representative of my User Group and wait to see if I'll get an opportunity. We'll discuss more in the meeting today.

Hi all, regarding the Wikimedia Summit, regardless of who we send, we will need to fill out the application form. So I've started a wiki page so we can collaborate on the answers. I've started it here but please do add and edit! I have a feeling we are already over-performing in being relevant to the strategy process, but why not document it all, not only for them, but for us as well? :) Please edit! https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_in_Residence_Exchange_Network/W… -Andrew

How specific do we want to be? I could link to some of my work, like the guide to creating book pages I wrote, or a popular image that I uploaded a higher-resolution version of, but I’m not sure if that’s what we’re going for. -Rachel *From:* Željko Blaće <zblace(a)mi2.hr> *Sent:* Sunday, April 10, 2022 2:39 PM *To:* Wikimedians in Residence Exchange Network <wren(a)lists.wikimedia.org> *Subject:* [Wren] Re: Wikimedia Summit 2022 - deadline April 17, 2022 On Thu, Apr 7, 2022 at 2:48 PM Andrew Lih <andrew.lih(a)gmail.com> wrote: Hi all, regarding the Wikimedia Summit, regardless of who we send, we will need to fill out the application form.

Hi all, good conversation! Rachel and Z, I think we're on the same page. I think any specific efforts are good to put down in order to highlight or illustrate any of the MCDC themes. Their charge to "Feel free to refer to specific initiatives, recommendations or principles" allows us to be quite specific. I also see this as a useful exercise for ourselves. It helps us document how our work has fit into these large strategic goals. We can also cut it down if need be, as Z said. I added some more details in the second section, but please add more! https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_in_Residence_Exchange_Network/W… -Andrew On Mon, Apr 11, 2022 at 6:51 PM Željko Blaće <zblace(a)mi2.hr> wrote: -- -Andrew Lih Author of The Wikipedia Revolution US National Archives Citizen Archivist of the Year (2016) Knight Foundation grant recipient - Wikipedia Space (2015) Wikimedia DC - Outreach and GLAM Previously: professor of journalism and communications, American University, Columbia University, USC --- Email: andrew(a)andrewlih.com WEB: https://muckrack.com/fuzheado PROJECT: Wikipedia Space: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:WPSPACE _______________________________________________ Wren mailing list -- wren(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe send an email to wren-leave(a)lists.wikimedia.org

We know ourselves that GLAM is much more than those four types of institutions, and includes educational institutions, aquariums, music institutions, arboretums, scientific institutions, et al. But it would be good to note this in the document. Thanks to Amanda for adding some of this already: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedians_in_Residence_Excha… <https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedians_in_Residence_Exchange_Network/Wikimedia_Summit_2022&diff=23166367&oldid=23141752> I have been thinking for some time about how we might better generalize GLAM as "public interest knowledge institutions" which would result in the very odd acronym PIKIWIKI :) Susanna Ånäs has also re-contextualized GLAM as Global Languages Art and Memory, which I also like. https://twitter.com/avoinGLAM/status/1499327056324214785 <https://twitter.com/avoinGLAM/status/1499327056324214785> -Andrew On Thu, Apr 14, 2022 at 11:31 AM Rute Correia - Wikimedian in Residence &lt;wir(a)fcsh.unl.pt <mailto:wir@fcsh.unl.pt>> wrote: Hi, I understand that most WiRs are in GLAM contexts, but it would be great if we could add some parts that go beyond this scope. I am mainly thinking about the fact that a WiR can be in a variety of institutions. Personally, as a newcomer in a different type of institution (university), it has been particularly challenging to navigate these waters as these two parts (WiR and GLAM) often overlap, but the GLAM focus doesn't necessarily answer to all needs. I haven't changed the Meta page, as I don't really have anything more specific to add, but thought this could be valuable.

Hi all, today is the deadline for applying for the Wikimedia Summit and thanks for all the support on the mailing list and in the recent meeting. If there are no objections, I will be proud to represent WREN and submit the application on behalf of this group. Fortunately, I won't be the only one - Richard, Tochi, and others who are involved with WREN will be attending while representing other groups but can also advocate for WREN at the same time. Rumor has it there may be an expanded opportunity for more than one person from an affiliate to participate in the form of remote/virtual attendance, so we will keep an eye on that. For the record, here's the final version of the application and thanks to the folks who helped craft it and add to it. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_in_Residence_Exchange_Network/W… -Andrew On Wed, Apr 6, 2022 at 3:28 AM Tochi Precious &lt;tochiprecious2(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: -- -Andrew Lih Author of The Wikipedia Revolution US National Archives Citizen Archivist of the Year (2016) Knight Foundation grant recipient - Wikipedia Space (2015) Wikimedia DC - Outreach and GLAM Previously: professor of journalism and communications, American University, Columbia University, USC --- Email: andrew(a)andrewlih.com WEB: https://muckrack.com/fuzheado PROJECT: Wikipedia Space: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:WPSPACE _______________________________________________ Wren mailing list -- wren(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe send an email to wren-leave(a)lists.wikimedia.org
