Hi all,
As part of the Structured Data on Commons program, Jonathan Morgan and
Sandra Fauconnier were able to interview a number of GLAM project
participants or include them in a survey, to examine how Commons is used by
that community and how we could support them. In the research, they
highlight a number of both social and technological challenges faced by
that group, alongside the needs of the Commons community.
I highly recommend either reading the report, or watching the the video
documented at:

Cheers,
Alex Stinson

Calling all Program leaders!
You may have seen that we updated the case studies page on Outreach Wiki.
We got a few good submissions, and we greatly appreciate those who took the
time to submit their Case Studies during this initial campaign! [1]
We want to showcase and highlight the great work that is going on around
the world in GLAM, Education, and other programs. For that reason, we have
decided to extend the case studies collection period, and will be providing
additional opportunities to work on case studies together!
Additionally, at Wikimedia Conference, Wikimania and other regional
conferences, we will be holding clinics to help you draft your case study.
We will also hold several virtual clinics where Wikimedia Foundation
Programs staff can give you feedback and support on developing your own
case studies (keep your eye out for invitations for these workshops!).
If you thought you might want to submit a case study, but haven’t done so
yet: please let us know that you are interested by responding to this email!
We can support you in drafting or developing the case study using the case
study templates on outreach.[2] If you would like to share a case study you
have already drafted, you can still do so through the input boxes on the
same page.
Remember case studies can be submitted in English or local languages.
Thank you again for participating in this important initiative. We look
forward to seeing you at the upcoming case study clinics!
Sincerely,
The WMF Programs Team
