It was a great event. What I don't understand is why there has been so little comment from Australian cultural workers. Sounds like UK is planning to hold its own GLAM-wiki event. Let's not wait for the UK discussion to take off before considerin...

I was so taken by what you've said here that I went and wrote a blog post quoting your whole last paragraph. Hope you don't mind! http://www.wittylama.com/2009/07/local-history-and-wikipedia/ We definitely need more stories and examples like that ...

Here's a post from James Leventhal on the Westmuse blog that is very relevant to potential GLAM-WIKI attendees: Museums, New Media and the Triple Bottom Line

The hashtag is #GLAM-WIKI and you can blog about it wherever you'd like! But, as you'll see on the registration info, we've suggested people come back to the Museums & Wikimedia group here for discussion.

Cool. Thnx Liam and hope we can work together on the backchannel. From our other discussions about conferences we felt the web component was really undervalued. Our discussions are on the Westmuse blog as well as here on Musuem 3.0. My challenge ...

Well - as of today we've received registrations for 40% of the seats, including people coming from Brissie, Auckland, Melbourne, Perth, Hobart and of course Sydney and Canberra! So, I think that considering it's only been 'live' for about 10 days ...

Profile Information

About Me:: Simply put,
I'm the vice president of Wikimedia Australia - the national chapter of the global Wikimedia movement (inc. Wikipedia).
My day job is the multimedia coordinator of the Dictionary of Sydney, the online encyclopedia of Sydney's history.
I wrote my thesis, "The Academic Lineage of Wikipedia" which demonstrated the common threads of debate between the two communities - especially historians - and try to bring them together. For this I was awarded the UNSW university medal in History.

I'm particularly keen to work with the Gallery/Museum sector to try to get Wikipedia to learn about and take on its theory and professional practices. Also, I would like to demostrate to the sector why they should and how they can get involved with Wikipedia directly.
