GLAMcamp Amsterdam

This is an archived version of this page, as edited by 201.157.2.242 (talk) at 05:43, 16 October 2011 (→Definitely). It may differ significantly from the current version.

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.

Amsterdam, home of the Rijksmuseum and GLAMcamp!

The date for the meeting are 2/3/4 December, to be hosted by Wikimedia Nederland. Location to be confirmed.

Basic information

Note: Expenses—including accommodation at the HI Youth Hostel, a reasonable amount towards the cost of travel, and a small per-diem—will be covered for attendees who require it, either by local chapters or the camp organizers.

ANY QUESTIONS?

Who

Who can participate? Marcus Cyron 18:33, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As with GLAMcamp NYC, Wikimedians who are interested in being involved in improving/creating GLAM-Wikimedia relationships and can "bring something to the table" to assist in the event. All types are needed - outreach people, techies, Chapter people, Commonsists, Wikipedians... Wittylama 04:21, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Signup/coverage

Where / how do I sign in? How does the scholarship thingy work? What does it cover or more specifically, what isn't benig covered? thanks, Shani 16:01, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

+1. Marcus Cyron 17:00, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Signup is the section immediately above. For those who are definite about coming I will then add you to a googledoc where people will list the amount they need to cover their travel expenses (if they cannot get such funding from their own chapter). Funding will cover relevant travel to Amsterdam. All accommodation for attendees is included as are most of the meals. Depending on how we budget for catering people may receive a per diem for purchasing their own lunches/tram tickets or that may be purchased for you. Wittylama 05:01, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto what Shani said. I would love to come to share what we're doing with APC and NSIC, but travel from Australia last minute is extremely cost prohibitive. I can probably cover the food and a hostel and transport around the city easily enough, but the arifare is yeah… --LauraHale 23:18, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Grants

Airfare is prohibitive for us in Mexico too, despite being next door to the U.S. In addition, anyone who can come from Club Wikipedia will need to rearrange final exams. How soon can we know about grants?Thelmadatter 14:34, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First step on the scholarships is working out a) how much we have available for them (after the venue/accom), and b) how much each person will cost. While we work out the former I'll be asking (today/tomorrow?) all the potential attendees to get a quote for their travel costs and (if applicable) ask their own Chapter for support. Then we'll know how feasible each person is for a scholarship. Wittylama 03:13, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

UK Ferry

Perhaps people travelling from the UK can meet on the ferry? pigsonthewing 12:35, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
