GLAM Boot Camp

What tools are out there
Tips & tricks
"Getting people caught up."
10-20 people at most
Don't want to invest effort into people who disappear.
Need resources for training.

Rookie Bootcamp

Preferably local (and in local language) Target group: Wikimedians vs non-Wikimedians. It shouldn't be a new editor camp, 4 months of community experience at least.

Goals

Introduction to the principles of GLAMs (connecting Wikimedia mission with a GLAM one)
Dive into the practical things (hands-on approach)
Do a case study: get a fictional director in and make them practice.
Writing a one-pager (part of the preperation to learn about one of the cultural institutions they have in mind)
Making them understand the most often used tools
Learn how to get yourself organized and document.
Introduction to how the Wikimedia Commons community works (and show them Cat-a-lot, HotCat, CatScan, GLAMorous as a start)
Hands on experience: how does a Wikimedia Commons admin work and feel? Deletion flagging, categorization, tagging, renaming etc.
Introduction on how to explain copyright and free licensing in particular (= we need to teach them copyright first -> should be an on-wiki course so it can be reused in other contexts)
Run down some of the todo items of the todo list of GLAM projects (hands-on session with support of experienced coaches)
Event planning: get them introduced to the documentation, practical things, Outreach and inreach
Conflict of interest issues

Preparation for participants

Prepare at least one institution: facts and background. They need this for preparing the one-pager.
Read about the links that are being sent to you.
Read up on how copyright works.

Preparations for organizers

Build on best practices
Alex: prepare a standard for documenting/tracking GLAM's
Get in touch with WikiAfrica what resources they have
Get in touch with Frank Schulenburg to see how he can help.
Writing documentation on event planning.

Next steps

Contacting WikiAfrica - Lori will ping Iolanda and send links
Contacting Frank Schulenburg - Lori will ping and send links
Getting this on-wiki in a concise way - Lodewijk will do this. (http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM_Bootcamp)
Setting a date for the first one or two such a bootcamps: April 2013? Still complicated to find out if we can fit this together. Give also a default scholarship to the WikiGLAM conference in London?
- Kilian will talk to Wikimedia Germany and possibly also Wikimedia Austria in October/early November about funding for a german language Bootcamp in the spring of 2013 prior to the GLAMwiki Conference
Setting a budget: hotel rooms, travel costs, per diems, internet, food.. about 500 euro per person worst case? Total budget: 5000 - 10.000 euro budget. Doesn't seem unreasonable.
