[OpenGLAM] Welcome US Launch Attendees

Wed Apr 3 19:58:04 UTC 2013

Hi everyone,

About two weeks ago we hosted over 20 GLAM professionals at the 
University of California, Berkeley for a US OpenGLAM Launch. This event 
focused on professional development, and was specifically for GLAM 
professionals who have expressed interest in, or are already involved 
in, OpenGLAM. The event was great, and I'd love you to welcome our 
colleagues from the *National Archives and Records Administration, 
Smithsonian American Art Museum, University of Colorado Libraries, OCLC 
Research, Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum, Getty Research 
Institute, Folger Shakespeare Library, University of Colorado Boulder*, 
*Cincinnati Museum Center and National Underground Railroad Freedom 
Center, Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, Historypin/LODLAM, 1000Museums, 
University of Washington, *and the *Computer History Museum*.

The event was amazing and everyone left declaring themselves the "first 
class" of GLAMbassadors for the US. You can read a blog about it, 
written by Ed Rodley of the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, on our OpenGLAM 
blog:

Welcome everyone - say hello and GLAM on!
