[Openglam_members] OpenGLAM Working Group - Update on current developments

Sun Dec 9 14:53:32 UTC 2018

Dear Lieke,

I’d like to join the call on Monday! Please add me by invitation. Where do we start? Zoom? Skype? HangOut?

I also want to share that I already spoke to some people around me to organize an OpenGLAM Summit in Austria in 2020, including at least D-A-CH probably we’ll put this on the agenda too.?!?

For me it feels great to rewake the community again:-)

Best,
sylvia

For now we kept the group small, but now that we are a bit more into the topics again, next step is to open up the calls to the wider OpenGLAM network, so we can involve all of those interested in participating - of course it would be great if you could join us :)

Community members from Wikimedia, Open Knowledge International and Creative Commons recently joined forces to reinvigorate the OpenGLAM initiative, and a more loosely set up structure represents the current community better.

We invited contributors from different parts of the world to showcase and highlight the way in which OpenGLAM is being understood in different contexts. A second step was the set up of a survey to check up on the continued impact of the OpenGLAM Principles <https://openglam.org/2018/10/15/do-you-use-openglam-help-review-shared-openglam-principles-for-open-galleries-libraries-archives-and-museums/>: we received over a hundred responses in the past weeks.
