By David Bearman - Posted on 02 February 2010

Attendance at Wikimedia@MW2010 will be by invitation. The Wikimedia Foundation will invite members of its Board, staff, and senior Wikipedia editors to attend. Members of the museum community are invited to nominate themselves to attend, by e-mail to mw2010@archimuse.com. Self nominations (due by December 31, 2009) should state the reasons you feel you will be able to contribute to the workshop and how you have or hope to be able to use Wikimedia projects with your museum.  Nominators, including self-nominees, may also name up to three other members of the museum community who they think would be valuable to have in attendance (providing reasons for each). A Museum Community Organizing Committee for the workshop will review nominations (including self-nominations) and issue invitations in January 2010. Invited attendees will be asked to register for the workshop before the end of February.

Wikimedia@MW2010: Everyone Welcome to Participate Online
Submitted by jennifer trant on February 17, 2010 - 10:52am.

While we have limited space at the workshop in Denver, we'd like to be sure that our discussions represent as broad an experience as possible. That's why we're soliciting your input.

Please share your insights into how museums and the Wikimedia / Wikipedia communities could work more effectively together. If there are issues or problems that you've encountered in the past, please let us know. And do let us know about your successes as well!

Everyone is welcome to participate in the online discussions.
