The next GLAMwiki conference is detailed at GLAM-WIKI 2013.

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.

Basics

Topics

This is an unconference style event where the majority of the presentations will be lightening talks, or collaborative discussions. There will not be much opportunities to deliver long 30 minute presentations.

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.

Lightning Talks

Lightning Talks

Suggestions

This is an unconference style event where the majority of the presentations will be lightening talks, or collaborative discussions. There will not be much opportunities to deliver long 30 minute presentations.

  • 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
  • Spending the Technical development to support cultural outreach budget from the WMUK 2013 annual plan (c. £20,000)

Accommodation

We have tried to assist anyone who has registered before 7 September. After that date we are no longer able to book your accommodation or travel - however please do check with Daria if your circumstances are exceptional. If you have been liaising with Wikimedia UK regarding your accommodation, we would have booked you a space at the Generator Hostel London:

37 Tavistock Place
Russell Square
WC1H 9SE London
+44 (0)20 7388 7666

Breakfast has not been included in your booking, but you can get it in the hostel for c. £4.

Scholarships/Expenses

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. 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 have been asked to cover expenses. If you do not have a local chapter, or your proposal has been rejected, WMUK will assist you if it has been informed in advance.

Apart from covering expenses, we will also be providing per diems to support the catering costs (there is no food provided as a part of the weekend apart from refreshments at the British Library).
