Having learned all the basics of GLAM-Wiki, this is your chance to discuss what you would like to accomplish, and to suggest new ideas that haven't yet been tried. Sharing your perspective is an important part of the process. Understanding how to apply for grants for events, travel, conferences, or other expenses will ensure you are as successful in whatever activities you might like to participate in or organize in the future. How do we talk to GLAM institutions about conflict of interest? What can and can't they do—and what can and can't we do, as GLAM Wikipedians? How does paid editing change the equation? This will be a facilitated discussion including real past examples. Copyright, the issue that is always lurking in every GLAM interaction. This will be a crash course in free licensing and copyright on Wikipedia, as well as a discussion of copyright from the GLAM perspective—and how to talk to GLAMs about copyright. Wrap-up and any concluding thoughts from the participants.
