Dear Wikimedians,
It's a pleasure to inform you all that Liam
Wyatt<http://www.wittylama.com/>will be visiting India between 12th
and 19th Feb to focus on
GLAM <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLAM_(industry_sector)>related
initiatives here.
Liam's visit to India is intended to support wikimedia communities to
explore the possibilities of collaborating with Galleries, Libraries,
Archives and Museums (GLAM) in strengthening articles on wikipedia of mutual
interest.
Liam recently became a Wikimedia Fellow -
http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2011/01/19/announcing-our-glam-fellow-liam-w…
Liam was the wikipedian in
residence<http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2010/07/10/the-royal-cup-bridges-wikipedia-a…>
at
the British Museum last year. Liam has been focussed on GLAM and was
the convener of the GLAM-WIKI
<http://www.wikimedia.org.au/wiki/GLAM-WIKI>event held in Australia in
August
2009.
It is great to have Liam visiting us. He will be visiting Delhi, Mumbai and
Bangalore. We hope to make the most of Liam's visit to create more awareness
for GLAM amongst wikipedians and connect with GLAM stakeholders wherever
possible.
Liam will also be speaking at the
ICLAM<http://www.nift.ac.in/ICLAM_2011/index.htm>conference on the
15th.
For coordinating events during his visit, I have create a GLAM project page
on the India wiki, to help us all get started:
http://wikimedia.in/wiki/Projects:GLAM_2011
There are city specific pages, each of which has a planning page.
We look forward to all your support and active participation to organize
events and meeting in various cities. Wikipedians are requested to join the
discussions in the planning pages for each city. .
regards

Ashrama, Bull Temple, Krishnarao park etc. ( mentioned in

Also, a note about the Wikipedia loves Bangalore #1:
We had an overwhelming response to the last edition with hundreds of photos
coming in. We're in the process of sorting out this huge number of photos to
upload the best ones to commons (as there are redundant ones of the same).
Volunteers are invited and are most welcome to take part in the selection
process as well. Please write back to me off-the-list for this.

Hello all,
Its just been a few days since the Tenth Anniversary celebrations got over,
and I bet everyone's still tired from that.
Anyway, i've seen this Campus Ambassador program on the English Wikipedia,
and I was wondering: Is it already in India?
If there is already a plan to conduct workshops/talks in colleges, then it
would be great if you guys could let me know about it. If such a plan isn't
there yet, then probably we could start off. Most engineering colleges in
the city start the next semester from february 1 onwards, so we could
probably organise events in march or something. I can help in organising
such an event in my college (RVCE) and in PESIT. Let me know how this
sounds.
Best,
Swaroop G Rao
