Report
Decisions needed
  • Task force proposal: Proposal emailed to board members and discussed with selected peers on the GLAM network.
Updates
  • Board workshop: Emailed and phonecall planned with Jay. Chris and Steve approached for alternative proposals. Progress likely to be slightly delayed compared to expectations due to bank holidays.
  • GLAMcamp London: Conceived and agreed as hosted for free by the British Library. Re-scheduled for 24 June 2011, format and participants up for discussion. Looking at poor European participation in GLAMcamp NYC, there may be scope for a larger Eurocentric conference late in the year.
  • GLAM network: Wangled invite for British Library digital archivist to join the planned Welcome Trust researcher's image sharing workshop on 3 June 2011 (where I'm representing GLAM and WM Commons interests). This will only be of press interest for any actions taken after the workshop. As announced at AGM, 4 June 2011 is scheduled for the next British Library event so Wikipedia banner, press release, sign-up page all need to be organized in the next few weeks.
  • m:GLAMcamp NYC: signed up to take part (20-22 May), logistics underway.
