Forwarding: Dear Community members, Transitioning WikiIndaba online this year offers an unparalleled opportunity to expand representation but it also requires participants to have access to a quality internet connection to meaningfully and fully engage and contribute. THE CONNECTIVITY SCHOLARSHIP <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiIndaba_conference_2021/Scholarships> For Wiki Indaba 2021, the first virtual edition of WikiIndaba Online, we are launching a Connectivity Scholarship to provide direct financial support for participants to connect and engage. Session organizers, speakers, and participants can apply for 2 levels of funding support ($50 USD or $100 USD), which they can use for: - Direct connecting: Purchasing internet data or contributing to the cost of internet access and use; - Support connecting: Travel to access computers and internet points; - Secure connecting: Purchasing privacy screens or VPNs; - Other support: Cost of childcare or other services that enable active participation. Apply Now You can apply to receive funding by clicking https://bit.ly/wikiindaba2021scholarships The deadline for scholarship applications is October 7, 2021 at 11:59pm EAT. This is the first time a fund of this nature has been offered at Wiki Indaba. We deem it necessary as we transition from the familiarity of in-person conferences of yesteryear to the possibilities we are about to explore at the online Wiki Indaba 2021.

This tutorial demonstrates the basic functionalities of OpenRefine, and will also demonstrate how to reconcile data with Wikidata. Suggestions of interesting datasets to work with are welcome!

Instructor: Joseph Nockels. This workshop enables participants to use the Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) tool Transkribus, a way of rendering historical manuscript material into machine-readable printed text. It showcases how to upload document images to the platform, run automated features like line segmentation and layout/document analysis, as well as how to train an AI-enabled model to automatically transcribe text. Once a trustworthy rendition of the text is transcribed as machine-readable text, institutions and scholars can begin to make the past readable and accessible through audio software and other digital methods.

To the meetup! <https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0xNzc0MTkwMzY0MTQ4NjM1Njk5JmM9dTFpNSZlPTA…> Introducing projects Bettina Fabos Fortepan The Fortepan local history project scans, curates, and organizes family snapshots (shoebox archives) and other regional photos along a timeline and releases them with a Creative Commons license (CC BY-SA). Bettina is affiliated with fortepan.us <https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0xNzc0MTkwMzY0MTQ4NjM1Njk5JmM9dTFpNSZlPTA…>, one of the two versions of the project. She presented a list of 10 Fortepan Iowa initiatives <https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0xNzc0MTkwMzY0MTQ4NjM1Njk5JmM9dTFpNSZlPTA…> to ask the Hack4OpenGLAM community to identify initiatives of greatest interest. These we the top ones: *1. Tagging Circles.* Fortepan Iowa has started to create tagging circles of people interested in particular topics, such as cars, farming equipment, or a specific town. In these circles, Iowans can share their local expertise and meet other people with similar interests. Fortepan Iowa's most engaged partners are libraries, and they are beginning to advertise tagging circles through local public libraries. *2. Embed capability.* This feature allows cultural heritage organizations to embed a subset of the photo archive on their website and showcase photos *relevant to their specific publics. *For example, a tractor museum can show just Iowa tractors. See the embedding prototype <https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0xNzc0MTkwMzY0MTQ4NjM1Njk5JmM9dTFpNSZlPTA…>, and an example <https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0xNzc0MTkwMzY0MTQ4NjM1Njk5JmM9dTFpNSZlPTA…> .

These collections are gathered from various online and offline resources, which so far consist of more or less 600 music from hardcore and punk bands ( #PunkArsipan <https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0xNzc0MTkwMzY0MTQ4NjM1Njk5JmM9dTFpNSZlPTA…>) and 500 titles of independent publishing (zine and underground newsletter or pamphlet). Both of the collections are made and published in and by Indonesian. *More information* https://perpustaxaan.miraheze.org/wiki/Halaman_Utama <https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0xNzc0MTkwMzY0MTQ4NjM1Njk5JmM9dTFpNSZlPTA…> *What kind of collaboration are you looking for at Hack4OpenGLAM?* Similar projects that have concerns on questions like "what kind of archives have not been properly 'managed' in my local context?" and "how can I articulate the best archival method to respond to those archives?" We think we can start a lot of conversation from those two questions which then could lead us to talk about tools, ethics, and more ways of articulating these fragments of knowledge. Hilman Fathoni, CC Indonesia/KUNCI Study Forum & Collective Public Domain Indonesia Database and Catalog This web portal documents and helps to find information about public domain works in Indonesia. This project also tries to articulate this information through various collaborations, such as the opening artistic initiative on decolonizing public domain colonial archives of Indonesia. *More information* https://perpustaxaan.miraheze.org/wiki/Halaman_Utama <https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0xNzc0MTkwMzY0MTQ4NjM1Njk5JmM9dTFpNSZlPTA…> *What kind of collaboration are you looking for at Hack4OpenGLAM?* We look forward to seeing if there are other similarly local projects and hope that we can start a conversation around the the best tools to manage this kind of information.
