[OpenGLAM] Bootstrap a combined OpenGLAM network - revitalise this mailing list

Thu Apr 19 11:13:28 UTC 2018

Sound sensible, among other things because I expect a lot of people already to be engaged with these three communities at the moment.

Best,

Maarten

> We had a few conversations around how we can create more involved community around OpenGLAM, and specifically converge the main three international initiatives: 
> 1. The OpenGLAM.org initiative that is part of the Open Knowledge network (that this mailing list is part of)
> 2. Efforts in the Creative Commons community to set up a 'platform' around OpenGLAM
> 3. The GLAM-Wiki initiative of the Wikimedia Foundation 
> 
> Rather than duplicating efforts, how about we come together as one central community? There were positive responses from the those in the three communities who were present at the summit, so we're keen to explore this further.
> 
> As a next step I'm proposing that we start using this mailing list for the discussions around how to move this forward. And invite our friends from Creative Commons and Wikimedia to join the discussion on this list. If you have any reservations against this, please let me know (I'll wait until Thu 26 April so there's enough time to discuss any objections).

> Specific ideas on what we could work on together included revising and updating the OpenGLAM principles (https://openglam.org/principles/ <https://openglam.org/principles/>). We also talked a lot about how the OpenGLAM movement can be mindful of and help address working with ethnic minorities and other cultures where openness in the way we envision it leads to problems and challenges. There are also a lot of practical opportunities around sharing best practices, and teaching / learning for GLAM institutions.

> We'd love to hear from everyone on this - what do you think about the idea of working together towards one OpenGLAM community? How would you like to be involved? What other OpenGLAM communities should we talk to?
