Public Domain Day in Indonesia; #1Lib1Ref Campaign and Workshop
Public Domain Day in Indonesia
Every 1st of January, GLAM Indonesia celebrate the Public Domain Day, and socialize all the creative works that become public domain this year. For 2023 celebration, we tried to do something new - Commons Cycling. We partnered with Creative Commons Indonesia and Subcyclist (Suroboyo Cycling Institute) in an event called "Mancal Nang Suroboyo - Pranala Peradaban" (Cycling in Surabaya - Link of Civilization) in January 29th. We used 4 public domain image of Surabaya from Wikimedia Commons, and we cycled through the route and took pictures and uploaded the result to social media and Commons. At the start of the event there were about 80 people registered.

#1Lib1Ref Campaign and Workshop
Along with other Wikipedias, we celebrate the Wikipedia Day by running the #1Lib1Ref Campaign in Indonesian Wikipedia. There were several hundred articles edited during the 3 weeks event (15 January-5 February). We are hoping to organize the second campaign in May as well.
To socialize the campaign and raise awareness of the need to provide good quality references, we organized an offline event in the Main Library of State Islamic University Maulana Malik Ibrahim in Malang, East Java. The workshop was attended by more than 20 librarians (from that university and 5 of them from 2 other universities, Brawijaya University and State University of Malang currently interned there).
Bincang GLAM - Wikimedia Commons series
We started a new weekly GLAM Talk in Wikimedia Indonesia's Youtube channel. We plan to do 8 episodes (or more) in February-March, centering around Wikimedia Commons for beginner. We began by explaining what is Wikimedia Commons and the 8 future episode topics.
