The survey is closed. Thank you for your input!
Welcome! The Wikimedia Foundation's Culture and Heritage team is launching a survey to gather input and data to help create a decision-making framework for future GLAM-Wiki conferences.
The goal of this process is to decentralize decision-making away from the Wikimedia Foundation and enable the GLAM-Wiki community to take collective ownership of the conference. This may include forming a steering committee and making key decisions, such as determining the location of future conferences, their frequency, and other related matters.
Your input is very important and will help to improve the next GLAM-Wiki conferences!
