[Wikimedia-DC] GLAM/SI!

[Sarah Stierch]

Hi everyone,

This past Monday myself and Katie Filbert (User:Aude) spoke at the 
IGNITE Smithsonian gathering featuring 20 speakers. We were the only 
Wiki-related folks and had the pleasure of creating a fast paced five 
minute presentation about our work.  It was rather chaotic, as these 
talks always are!

All went well and we were able to connect with a lot of great people. 
I've written a super short blog entry about it, but, it features the 
PowerPoint and a link to the presentation video.

Thank you Katie for allowing me to jump on to co-present.

We're also hoping to encourage further involvement from Wikipedians in 
GLAM/SI. You can join the project here:

We are working on planning another workshop soon and our relationship 
with the Archives of American Art is expanding this summer and Fall! The 
National Archives will soon have a Wikipedian-in-Residence and I'm 
hoping that will lead to backstage pass tours and other exciting 
opportunities for our group.

GLAM/SI looks forward to your involvement =)

Sarah
