The cultural partnerships fellow will seek to help the Wikimedia movement in developing scalable systems and approaches to work with the cultural sector world-wide...
The fellowship will be considered successful if the Wikimedia movement has demonstrably and measurably grown in its ability to plan and execute partnerships with cultural institutions (galleries, libraries, archives, museums, and others), and in its shared understanding which types of partnerships are likely to have the longest lasting impact. The cultural partnerships fellow is first and foremost accountable to the movement as a whole.
My Fellowship

Priorities
• “Organisation”• Documentation• Communication
• Training• Technology• Events
GLAM is the only thing (I think) that EVERYONE agrees is:a. an important thing to do.
b. a Chapter-level responsibility

My fellowship finishes in 4 months.The measure I have given myself for “success” is...
I unsubscribe from everything, and no one notices.
To summarise:
Coordinate & support, but not be the bossDesign & implement systems, without a budget
Build capacity & community, without owing anything

Recommendations for 2012

1. GLAMcamp: Utrecht
and Chapters taking up coordination projects more generally :-)
![Page 12: What next in GLAM - 2011 Wikimania Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051412/54b2fe6a4a79594d708b45e0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2. National “outreach coordinators”
to recruit, train and support a network of volunteers.
Scotland & India will probably have a paid coordinator.France & Netherlands have a volunteer coordination team.
What is your country’s plan for supporting increased GLAM activities in the future? You need one.
[note: not the “GLAM boss”]

3. Community Liaison - GLAM
The Liaison job is not a career track job at the Foundation, but is instead a 3-12 month posting. The term is set in advance generally by the preference of the candidate. Part of the purpose of creating the Community Liaison position is to increase over time the number of staff and non-staff community members who have worked closely with each other, and to build up a roster of former liaisons who can assist the incumbent liaison in a volunteer capacity.

4. Wikimedia centre of GLAM technology
1. Mass-upload2. Metadata import/export3. Metrics
External organisation to build it. Chapters can co-fund it. WMF will maintain it if built.

5. USA GLAM FellowIn the absence of a Wikimedia-USA Chapter, there is no structural support for their very active outreach.
It is likely that we will have a dozen, independently funded “Wikipedians in Residence” in US Art museums in the next year. Who will support them?
This could be a WMF fellow, or a grant to WM-NYC/DC?
