GLAMcamp London/September 2012

Cultural partnerships
Content partnerships — Digital image restorations — Joint events

The proposed full conference at the British Library in September 2012 has now been postponed to GLAM-WIKI 2013, dates to be confirmed. There will still be a smaller, GLAMcamp style event at the British Library on the weekend of Saturday September 15 and Sunday 16.

This is a meeting/workshop for Wikimedians active in outreach to cultural institutions. Rather than an open community conference, this is a workshop targeting a small group of community-focused and technology-focused Wikimedians to discuss the key elements of the glamwiki.org project. Attendees can also include key representatives of GLAM (and related) institutions who already have a strong relationship with Wikimedia.

Topics

Please help by shaping the agenda for the weekend. Saturday is focused on sharing best practise, so anyone linked with a GLAM organisation can present on the projects they have carried out. Sunday would be the GLAM WIKI 2013 conference planning day. The event is intended to be mainly for existing Wikimedians, and to consist mostly of workshops and discussions focusing on:

• Where GLAM is now, and where it's heading:
  • Collaborations
  • Tools
  • Metrics
  • Assessing glamwiki.org and establishing a lead contact for moving forward with updates discussed at GLAMcamp Amsterdam.
  • Sharing best practices from the GLAM-Wiki Taskforce established by WM:UK and how lessons learned may be applied to the GLAM-Wiki US Consortium, and other such entities.
  • Working groups trying to grasping the core of successful projects, and documenting that so it can be applied elsewhere. For example 'behind the scenes' would be one of such working groups, 'photo contests' could be another etc.

Suggestions

• Planning for the full GLAM-WIKI conference in 2013
• Considering the format of us.glamwiki.org and discussing if any or all portions should be adapted for the WP:GLAM WikiProject space on English Wikipedia. How does this link/replicate/differentiate from glamwiki.org, etc.
• The role of GLAM within the models of User Groups and Thematic Organizations.
• Editathons and Editor training - what actually works?
• How useful for the GLAM community is a new extension designed to export data from Facebook to MediaWiki?

This tool is currently (August 2012) being developed by the newly-founded Media & Memory Research Initiative at the University of Hull in collaboration with the Digital Curation Centre at the University of Glasgow, through support from the Digital Preservation Coalition and JISC. Engagement at GLAMcamp could range from a presentation by the project manager to a hands-on demo for any Wikimedians interested in trying out this new extension.

• Workshop to redesign the WHO World Heritage Site template in several languages

Presentations

• Success story - First Wiki GLAM steps in Serbia - Successful GLAM Conference and cooperation with Museum of Aviation in Belgrade. --Ivan25 (talk) 11:54, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
• "Wiki Loves Monuments" for the first time in Serbia - A small step for us, but a giant leap for Serbia. --Bebauautu (talk) 02:11, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Scholarships

Reasonable travel and accommodation costs for UK residents will be considered by the UK chapter for participants with appropriate GLAM experience and involvement in GLAM related Wikimedia events. Please email Daria with a request so that WMUK can confirm your scholarship in advance. Refer to Expense policy for details of how WMUK takes a reasonable approach to paying expenses.

For international participants, in the first instance the local chapter of your country should be asked to cover expenses. If you do not have a local chapter, or your proposal has been rejected, please do not hesitate to contact WMUK to be considered for a scholarship.
