Subha and Wikimedians,

We will sharing a detailed note (blog post) and pictures. It was an
incredible experience over 4 days given the interest reciprocated by the
Museum leadership, staff and volunteers.

We had set the stage for a few exciting projects to follow.

  About 20 people have been trained and teams of about 4 members jointly
 worked on an article, and they were helped through till the publication of
 their first article. None of these are stubs. About 5 articles were
 published and their QRcode posted at the Museum.

  The enthusiasm of the participants was excellent. The support from the

 activities in India.

[Wikimediaindia-l] GLAM activity at the National Museum, New Delhi

Friends,

We signed off 2013 and welcomed 2014 in style with a classic GLAM program
at the National Museum in New Delhi. This is the best program I had seen
till date.

Join me in applauding Arun Ram, LShyamal, Konarak Ratnakar, and Swapnil for
their contribution in making this event a success.

Andrew Gray (WMUK) contributed to the first session related to this program
with a personal address to the Museum folks on 23rd Dec 2013. We concluded
the workshop on 5th Jan 2014. We still have some time to go before the 71
articles pilot is completed. That could take about 6 months.

About 20 people have been trained and teams of about 4 members jointly
worked on an article, and they were helped through till the publication of
their first article. None of these are stubs. About 5 articles were
published and their QRcode posted at the Museum.

The enthusiasm of the participants was excellent. The support from the

Excellent Sowmyan, great team work. Thanks to Konarak, shyamal, Swapnil and
Arun for being part of it.

Can you please also share links or article names that are created part of
this event and for which QRCodes are generated? I suppose it will be good
idea to translate/create those articles in other Indic languages as well.

Regards,
Dhaval
