Greetings all:
The Sam Noble museum is developing an exhibit with the University of Oklahoma's History of Science collections that explores the early scientific society Accademia dei Lincei<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accademia_dei_Lincei> (The Academy of the Lynx) that will run from 8/1/2015 through 1/18/2016.
We are looking for a loan of a mounted Lynx for the duration of the exhibit. A Eurasian lynx would be ideal, but we could work with a Canada lynx if need be.
Thanks for the help, everyone!
Cheers,
Tom Luczycki

Hi everyone,
I have some free data in the Lido XML spec [1] that I would like to
convert to CSV format (because it's basically a glorified table). I
could write my own converter, but I was hoping you knew some tools
already made for that purpose.
Thanks,

Hi guys.
Just how many GLAM lists do we have?
Not counting regional ones, I know of GLAM, Cultural-Partners,
Libraries, got to know about existence of some the "paris group" (not
sure if it's even a mailing list technically, but in case it's not then
it's weird even more). Perhaps there are some (or is it many?) others.
Should they not be all listed in one place, e.g. on
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Mailing_lists with clear data
about who manages them, what are their scope, rules and how you might
joint them?
Just having many is already confusing but when you can't even get a list
of all of them it's confusing even more.
I'm sorry if some of the lists I listed were intended as cabalish and
not to be disclosed to others. I don't think cabalish lists are a good
way to collaborate for wikimedians.
Yours sincerely,
Base

Hello,
The next office hour of the Wikimedia Language Engineering team (now part
of Editing) is scheduled for next Wednesday, June 10th at 14:30 UTC.
However, this time instead of only IRC we are hosting it as an online
discussion over Hangout/Youtube. Given the limitation of Google Hangouts,
there will be limited seats for joining into the Hangout. Hence, do let us
know (on the event page
<https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/cuunke6rbmqpetvslv6jlakbhnc>) if you
would like to participate on the Hangout. The IRC channel #wikimedia-office
and the Q&A channel for the youtube broadcast will also be open for
interactions during the session.
Our last online round-table session was held a few months back with the
editors of the Catalan Wikipedia. You can watch the recording here:

Please read below for the event details and do let us know if you have any
questions.
Thank you

Your comment does not cover the fact that not all lists are hosted by
lists.wikimedia.org.
E.g. cultural partnership is here:
https://intern.wikimedia.ch/lists/listinfo/cultural-partners
Some other chapters also host lists and there're googlegroups to consider. That's a one thing why a mere server listing of lists does not suffice. Another is that an automatical list listing isn't where you can write rules, membership procedure/criteria and other stuff needed for transparency. Well not just transparency issue but also of need to concentrate data in one place is to be considered.

I am hosting some editathons:
Thurs 28 May, Birmingham:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Royal_Society_of_Chemistry/BH-…
at Birmingham Museums Collection centre (only rarely open to the
public!). We'll enjoy a 'backstage tour and the opportunity to
photograph objects, as well,of course, writing articles.
Weds 29 July, London
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Royal_Society_of_Chemistry/BH-…
in the library of the Royal Society of Chemistry. The focus will be
on chemistry-related topics; including both scientific and
non-scientific content (the latter including biographies, for
example).
Sat 8 August, North Cheshire
Watch this space (and keep the date free)!
In each case, lunch and refreshments will be provided; there will be
support for new editors (maybe you can help?) and we'll work on sister
projects such as Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata and Wikisource, as well
as Wikipedia.
