Dear all,
DPLA* is planning the first annual DPLAFest, in Boston this October 24-25.
It would be great to have groups in attendance from Wikisource,
Wikidata, and Commons. There are already some collaboration underway
on Commons:

If groups from each project would be interested in organizing a tent
or sessions at the festival, space (both physical and on the agenda)
could be provided. This is a good opportunity to connect with the
heads of GLAM institutions, and the more technical curators and
archivists (who should be recruited to the generative side :-)
Sam.
