GLAMcamp Amsterdam: Difference between revisions

GLAMcamp Amsterdam is the second GLAM meeting/workshop for Wikimedians active in outreach to cultural institutions and is directly following from the inaugural GLAMcamp in New York in May 2011. Rather than an open community conference like Wikimania, this is a workshop targeting a small group of community-focused and technology-focused Wikimedians to kickstart the key elements of the glamwiki.org project. Attendees will also include key representatives of GLAM (and related) institutions who have a strong relationship with Wikimedia already.

The date for the meeting are 2/3/4 December at the MediaMatic Lab. Hosted by Wikimedia Nederland.
