Share the work we are doing to coordinate and develop the Movement's capacity around content partnerships and our hope and intention to become a thematic hub in the future.
**Target groups**
The main target audience at this point is the GLAMwiki community, secondary audiences are partners and the wider free knowledge and FOSS movements.
**Main goal with communication**
The communication should help reduce the complexity of what a thematic hub could be doing and what we see as possible areas of work, e.g. networking, experimentation, capacity building, funding, maintenance etc.
**Main messages**
Our sincerity of being a global player need to be highlighted. We might not try to tackle some problems in e.g. the Global south, but we are interested to learn and understand them and would like to involved and highly coordinated.
That we are interested doesn't mean that we will be the ones doing it in the end, but we should share our initial thinking and ideas for feedback and to engage more actors in the work. Concrete examples of our ideas will help to make the initiative easier to grasp and for more people to engage from the start.
We are starting to have an idea what we want to do, but we know want to hear the thoughts from all of you.
**Platforms and process**
