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. Scheduled for 21 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.
