Talk:GLAMcamp London/September 2012

GLAM and education

You might like to add the role of education projects and GLAM. We have students doing GLAM outreach in Mexico. Any grants for this event? Thelmadatter

Decision making process

Dear all,
previous GLAMcamps have shown that the decision making process is quite obscure sometimes. In order to avoid depriving non-participants of their opinion on certain questions, I propose to poll any important decision in a digital way, after the camp. The GLAMcamp could be used to prepare major propositions on a certain topic, which then could be decided upon by the global GLAM commnunity, within a reasonable period of time (e.g. 1 month). What do you think? Regards, Peter Weis (talk) 14:34, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

It depends on the decision. There are logistics that need to be decided on as early as possible and where opening the discussion widely for consultation may not be as useful as the wider community establishing a focused committee to get on with it on their behalf. --Fæ (talk) 15:58, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

+1. Decisions on the logistics/organisation of the camp was not my intention when writing this request. However, if certain decisions need to be made ASAP (I can't think of a proper example though) during the workshop we should look for a technical solution to include as many people from the GLAM community as possible. A committee could be a suitable solution, if legitimated by the GLAM community. My idea was rather focused on the actual output of the camp and decisions that have a direct or long-term / strategic impact: e.g. shall we create a fancy website on www.glamwiki.org or not.

Venue

As visitors to Monmouth will know we can create a bit of a show for Wikipedia with a successful project. Similar ideas to out do Monmouth are being proposed for Gibraltar early next year. I would like to invite GLAMcampers to consider the idea of holding the next GLAMwiki conference in Gibraltar. I hope that you can think of ways this may happen and we will supply four or five reasons why you wouldn't consider holding it anywhere else. Victuallers (talk) 16:19, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Apologies

Those adding their name to attendees and having to cancel:

1. Kiril Simeonovski (depending on funding) Problems with funding and visa to the UK.
2. Thelmadatter - would need accommodation for two weeks in the UK
3. Mike Peel (talk) 05:55, 28 July 2012 (UTC) Would have loved to attend, but other commitments prevent me from doing so (OMG, endless emails!)
4. Lodewijk (talk) 14:53, 28 July 2012 (UTC) (depending on funding and fulfilling agenda) No funding available.

If you have cancelled due to being rejected for funding from your local chapter, please ensure you have contacted Daria to discuss a potential scholarship from the UK chapter. --Fæ (talk) 09:55, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Discussions about GLAMwiki Conference 2013

Hi guys!

I have a question: On the schedule it now says: "Session 2: Looking forward to GLAMwiki Conference 2013 (possibly split into sessions - working groups - on the day)" scheduled on the Saturday. Earlier I contacted you guys to make sure that all of the discussions about the GLAMwiki Conference 2013 would take place on Sunday as I could only attend on Sunday (as I am travelling with my family in Riga during that weekend, and is leaving earlier because of this). I was told that all of the discussions would indeed be on Sunday and then I booked my non refundable tickets. As we have been talking about working on the conference togheter, as part of the Europteana Awareness project, I would kindly ask you to move all of the discussions about the GLAMwiki Conference 2013 to Sunday. A suggestion is to move either "Session 2: Tools and metrics Initial best practice sessions" or "Session 3: Best practice sessions" to Saturday instead. I really hope that we can solve this.

Looking forward meeting all of you there.

Cheers,
