Mailing List

The canonical list information is at m:Mailing lists, with m:Mailing lists/Overview containing a full list with descriptions and aids.

How to sign up for the public lists

If you are a cultural professional or a Wikimedian interested in discussing cultural partnerships, please join the open GLAM mailing list by clicking this link: GLAM

If you are interested in North American cultural partnerships, please consider also joining the open GLAM-US mailing list by clicking this link:GLAM-US

You may also join our IRC channel at #wikimedia-glam ^connect on freenode, where there are interested users willing to talk about GLAM projects. For more information see the IRC guide

Closed list

If you are a Wikimedian interested in discussing cultural partnerships, please join the cultural-partnerships-l mailing list by following the instructions below. Wikimedians are encouraged to join the active conversations there. It is a closed list only so that we may discuss not-yet-public, forthcoming projects and honestly analyse past projects. Please note that this list is for Wikipedians, not for GLAM staff members. Exceptions can be made in the following cases -

• you are an active Wikipedian who also happen to work at a GLAM
• you are a staff member of a free cultural non-profit organization (but not directly on staff at a GLAM institution).

How to request access to the closed list

Note: You do not need to request access here if you just want to join the open lists!

The closed list is meant for discussions that may refer to future objectives or some other subject that one does not want to appear (yet) in public archives. If what you want to say in an email is not sensitive in this way, please post it in the appropriate public list (which also has a much broader reach). The closed list is meant for Wikimedians only. Representatives of GLAM organisations may also request subscription, but only if they are also Wikimedians in their own right.

New subscription requests to this list should be proposed here listing: Name, username, home wiki and/or Chapter and a brief description of your Wikimedia work that relates to GLAM outreach.

Please be sure to add the email-address if you would like to be subscribed. If you are not interested in your e-address appearing on this page, please send it to osamadrehotmail.com.

Subscription requests will be notified to the mailing list and give a few days for comment. No support/oppose voting is required and unless comments or questions are raised (which can be answered by the requester here) then a request will be approved.

Example:

Napoleon Bonaparte

French Wikipedia, user:Boney, Napoleon.Bwikimedia.org.fr. I have been working on 'liberating' Europe's museums for several years now.

After following these steps, please remember to subscribe to the closed list by following the link cultural-partnerships-l
