Wikimedia Australia’s forthcoming event “GLAM-WIKI: Finding the common ground” is now fully booked!

Below you can see the list of attending institutions – some are sending one person, several are sending six staff members – to a total of 170 attendees! (Is this the largest Wikimedia event besides Wikimania?) We’re absolutely pleased as punch to have seen such interest from across the Australian and New Zealand cultural sector. Just as there is interest from within the Wikimedia world to learn about the cultural sector, there is very clear interest from them to learn about us. In fact, “Digital New Zealand” has blogged about it a couple of times – asking the “homework questions” that I’ve asked all the attendees to their own readers.

We’ve also put out a press release about the event. Our generous hosts, the Australian War Memorial will also be filming the presentations so we’ll have those online (with a free licenses) soon afterwards. Finally, can I extend my thanks to the Wikimedia Foundation and their Chapter grants program – without which this event would not have been possible.
