Summary
[edit]GLAM is an acronym for Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums. GLAM institutions and Wikipedia have a great opportunity to collaborate with each other.
Liam Wyatt, Wikimedia Foundation’s Cultural Partnerships Fellow, will be speaking in Bangalore. We are using this opportunity to organize events / meetings across India to achieve the following:
- Create greater awareness among wikipedians about GLAM.
- Sharing of Liam's GLAM experiences from various countries.
- Connect with GLAM stakeholders across cities
- Potentially create Special Interest Groups (SIGs) of wikipedians in each of these cities.
India has a wealth of information and knowledge and the GLAM stakeholders play a key role in making some of that public domain knowledge accessible to all.
Pre-Meeting discussions can be on the talk page please.
About the speaker
[edit]
Liam Wyatt is the Wikimedia Foundation’s Cultural Partnerships Fellow (a.k.a GLAM fellow), based in Sydney. He has done his bachelors in Globalisation. He had been given a one year fellowship to focus on Cultural Partnerships within the Wikiverse.
His role is to help create systems and processes to make outreach partnerships more efficient and effective. The key phrase is “capacity building” as described in his blogpost a few months ago “How to make cultural collaborations scale“. He believes that now the cultural sector has seen that working with Wikimedia can be A Good Thing™, that we must have reasonably professional processes in place for managing those relationships. As a first step in this he has built a bit of a GLAM hub on-wiki. For more details, he can be accessed at this URL http://glamwiki.org
He has been Vice President of Wikimedia Australia and the “Wikipedian in Residence” at the British Museum. Also, a project officer at Austlii and multimedia coordinator at the Dictionary of Sydney, a historian, podcaster, fire-twirler, museuophile, snowboarder, förman, bartender and backpacker.
