Hello DPLA network:

DPLA is seeking members for the new Wikimedia Working Group (WWG), which has recently been approved for formation. This is an opportunity to shape and help further the collaborative work of the DPLA Member Network, to share expertise with and learn from Hub and DPLA colleagues, and to help address common needs and challenges.

The working group seeks to continue work started by DPLA's grant-funded Wikimedia project, improving the capacity and sustainability of the project through such initiatives as improving documentation, supporting project participants, and driving new cross-network collaborations. Anyone who contributes to or works with a hub or is active in the DPLA community is encouraged to apply. If you would like to learn more about DPLA's Wikimedia work, please read our project page<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpro.dp.la%2Fprojects%2Fdpla-wikimedia&data=05%7C01%7Cjjohnson%40library.ohio.gov%7C8e02938f26c74d43c0d408da5acec649%7C50f8fcc494d84f0784eb36ed57c7c8a2%7C0%7C0%7C637922141384506119%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2Fdhmb9jnQdpEGUHLkPQdHs6aVx78s%2FVbHg%2FsI0FaNNg%3D&reserved=0> on the web site, and see our recent blog post<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdp.la%2Fnews%2Fwikimedia-project-update&data=05%7C01%7Cjjohnson%40library.ohio.gov%7C8e02938f26c74d43c0d408da5acec649%7C50f8fcc494d84f0784eb36ed57c7c8a2%7C0%7C0%7C637922141384506119%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2F9KOe5WeetLfLxOPl9mdje75korfVAnrdoTHrM1oIFQ%3D&reserved=0>.

Time commitment
The WWG plans to meet regularly (such as biweekly or monthly), with the frequency and times to be determined based on the group's composition once formed. Members should expect to spend at least a few hours out of each month on working group tasks outside of meetings.

Requirements
Working group members should have expertise in one or more of the following areas:
*       Prior participation in DPLA's Wikimedia project
*       Prior participation in Wikimedia projects, such as Wikipedia, even if not related to DPLA's work
*       Interest in topics such as open access, linked data, content work, capacity building

As this is a new working group being formed, the initial members will be responsible for proposing a charge to the Advisory Council. For more information, read our initial concept document for the working group here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19Po7PYWwzZyGmqjMAkURR_iM7crdEllQudmLcvVHlgM/edit?usp=sharing<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2F19Po7PYWwzZyGmqjMAkURR_iM7crdEllQudmLcvVHlgM%2Fedit%3Fusp%3Dsharing&data=05%7C01%7Cjjohnson%40library.ohio.gov%7C8e02938f26c74d43c0d408da5acec649%7C50f8fcc494d84f0784eb36ed57c7c8a2%7C0%7C0%7C637922141384506119%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=kPV4UpBZUQniXytd9ho0dtFI5TTIp2Y58I%2B15q4hvik%3D&reserved=0>
