This issue of
This Month in GLAM
shall be my twenty second, but more importantly, my last as editor. This is a role I've been performing since
the inception of
TMIG
in January 2011
. I was approached by Liam Wyatt (
Wittylama
) who asked if I would be "interested in compiling a monthly "this month in GLAM" report".
It started small; the plan was for it to only be a single page affair. But as the GLAM movement has grown, so too has our newsletter (and I consider it to be "ours"; I merely press various buttons once a month). We've gone from 3 headings to almost 20 different reports on GLAM activities all over the globe. As I wrote in
the first editor's letter in February 2011
, the look and feel of
TMIG
was originally adapted from that of the
Signpost
and
Bugle
. I've had the pleasure of steering it from a tiny publication to something that is, I feel, important for the GLAM movement as a whole.
I shan't provide a retrospective of how the newsletter has evolved over the last almost-two-years (I wrote something like this at the beginning of this year;
read it here
).
I feel that I have contributed all that I can in this the role of editor; I wanted to leave while it is still something I enjoy doing. I shall continue to be involved both in the newsletter and in the movement, just not as editor of this newsletter.
I am leaving the editing of the newsletter in the more than capable hands of
User:Foxj
and
User:Romaine
who I have confidence will continue to help
TMIG
grow and expand over the coming years.

Thanks Daniel. It's been a privilege to edit the newsletter over the last 22 months. Best of luck to Foxj and Romaine as they continue to oversee its development. :-) Regards,

How old does the project have to be to give out a GLAM lifetimes achievement award? Well done RD

Thanks for your work, Rock drum, and (in my opinion) you've made the right decision in leaving and passing on the role while you still enjoy it! Best wishes for your next endeavor.
