GLAM/Newsletter/About/hu
The newsletter This Month in GLAM (TMIG) is a community-driven, monthly newsletter written by the Wikimedia movement about activities with cultural institutions broadly defined. GLAM is an acronym for galleries, libraries, archives, and museums, but the newsletter covers also collaborations with other types of organisations. The newsletter contains reports and stories of collaborations with external organisations from the past month, related to Wikipedia, Wikimedia and the sister projects of the Wikimedia Foundation.
After the end of the month, organisers, participants and enthusiasts have a week the time to write down their stories, and the newsletter is scheduled to be published at the 7th day of the new month.
The newsletter is intended to inform others in the Wikimedia movement about your activity, to share experiences and inspire others with your projects, to have some reporting towards the various stakeholders in the Wikimedia movement, and to call for support by others. Your story, how large or small, is worth telling. Others in the movement like to learn from your experiences and want to be inspired. And you can copy your story from your reporting and/or you can later use the newsletter reports in reporting an affiliate has to do towards the Wikimedia Foundation and the Wikimedia movement.
