There is a general table at
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM-WIKI/Events which was the result of
collecting contacts after the London GLAM-WIKI and I would see no harm
in extending it or using it as a model. This is a bit passive as a way
of managing follow-ups but the default approach (rather than a
strategy) has been to offer and then see if the organizations
follow-up with us rather than the reverse. Of course, as soon as a
contact is made and things get going then it is worth forming an
active collaboration page ( such as the latest,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/DER ).
Note, on the uk.wiki we have taken care not to publish contact details
directly (only the Wikimedian point of contact) in order to avoid any
problems with random strangers data-mining the information and the
idea was to stick to direct email if we need to share contact info.

Hi all,
we had a small meetup in Bristol after Jimmy's talk, where we
discussed potential partners such as museums, libraries and societies
and how we can make use of meetings with them. I've written up some
ideas here:

Clearly some fantastic work is already going on with the GLAM sector
nationally, and locally Steve Virgin has been up to an enormous amount
of local networking that this would build on. It would be great to get
together a list of contacts and where we are with them. The above page
could be used to list partners we're engaging with, and perhaps there
should be a private page somewhere for sharing contact names, phone
numbers and finding dates when we and the contacts are available.
It may seem odd to put it in Wikiproject Bristol, and it's not ideal,
but frankly I'm a bit confused by all the different places where
WP/WM outreach material is supposed to go, and most importantly there
are local Wikipedians who are crucial to the success of this effort, who
can't be assumed to be watching the other sites (until we get interwiki
watchlists).
Any input welcome,
