Dear all,


*Deadline extension*
The program committee is looking to create a diverse GLAM conference that
truly serves the global community. To achieve this goal, we would like to
accept submissions not only from established GLAM projects and communities,
but also from emerging communities / developing countries / groups just
starting out their GLAM endeavors.

Looking at the submissions so far
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:GLAM_TLV_2018_open_submissions>,
we have decided to extend the content submission
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAMTLV2018/Program> deadline *till next
Monday, May 7th, at midnight *(wherever you are in the world). We are
hoping this extension will encourage more submission from developing
countries, emerging community and allow for a more diverse program.

*Tips*
In the past week I've been asked repeatedly if I have tips for good
submissions. The best tip I can offer is -- no matter if your GLAM
partnership / project is well established or you are just starting out,
make sure your submissions offers an added value beyond "this is what we
did in our project", i.e. focus on what you leaned and how it could be of
use by others in the GLAM community.


GLAM on,
Shani.
