[Openglam_members] GLAM Benchmark Survey - Next Steps

Wed Jan 22 10:20:44 UTC 2014

Hi Beat,

It's fantastic to see this initiative really finding its feet. In answer to
your questions:

*May I ask you to subscribe Leigh (osamadre at hotmail.com
<osamadre at hotmail.com>), Sebastiaan (terburg at wikimedia.nl
<terburg at wikimedia.nl>), Iolanda (iolanda at pensa.it <iolanda at pensa.it>),
Samat (samat78 at gmail.com <samat78 at gmail.com>), Susanna
(susanna.anas at wikimedia.fi <susanna.anas at wikimedia.fi>), and Dorota
(kawecka at innemuzeum.pl <kawecka at innemuzeum.pl>) to the mailing list?*

It's brilliant to see that the OpenGLAM Members list is supporting this
kind of action, it's what it's there for! Before adding any new names,
could I ask all of the above to email openglam at okfn.org so we can talk more
about what is involved in membership to check they are all happy and
willing to contribute. We also need to list all members publicly on the
website in the interests of transparency, so if they could drop
openglam at okfn.org a line that would be great.

*Would one of you be ready to help with the project management tasks?*

I've just spoken to Lieke about this, and she would be happy to help out
here within the time that can be allocated to this. On the next call it
would be great if we could assign specific tasks so we can check that
what's expected falls within the time that can be allocated to this.

*Could you clarify the role of the Open Knowledge Foundation with regard to
this project?*

The way I say it the OKF given is able to offer a number of things for the
project:

   - Platform for community engagement and dissemination of results
   (mailing lists, OpenGLAM.org, okfn.org, Twitter etc)
   - Some limited coordination time from the OpenGLAM Community Manager
   (subject to time constraints as above)
   - Publicity of the results and possible workshop space at forthcoming
   OKFestival in Berlin

It's also worth noting that were we to pursue funding for this, OKF could
serve a helpful role in putting together the proposal and endorsing the bid.

I think Lieke, will follow up re: the question concerning Impact and
Enumerate and with an update on the NL survey that she is involved in. Hope
that clarifies things for now, but happy to discuss any of this in more
detail on the call.

All the best,
Sam
