GLAM Camp Amsterdam
Recently, I attended GLAM Camp Amsterdam. I wrote about this for Australia’s GLAM newsletter section. There, writing about myself in the third person, I described the event as:
At GLAMcamp Amsterdam, LauraHale talked to several people about the the Australian Paralympic Committee efforts to do Spoken Word articles and showed them the Chris Nunn article. She also spoke about the content collaboration program which the APC and Wikimedia Australia are co-developing. The project has the potential to offer one of the largest incentives to help encourage Wikipedians to edit of any GLAM partnership type incentives run to date. Beyond that, she talked to people about the process of GLAM partnerships as part of the tender process, and dealing with geographic challenges related to Australia and Oceania at large. She also learned about Wiki Loves Monuments, implementation issues related to the event and invited European organisers to come to Australia to talk to local Australians about organising it in Australia.
End quote. The event was a great opportunity to share with other people interested in cultural institutions using WMF projects what the Australian Paralympic Committee’s History of the Paralympic Movement in Australia project is all about and some of the innovative GLAM work we’re doing.
