[x-posted announcement]
Hello,
The next office hour of the Wikimedia Language Engineering team is
scheduled for next Wednesday, September 16th at 15:00 UTC. Like our last
office hour, this time also we are hosting it as an online discussion over
Hangout/Youtube with a simultaneous IRC conversation. Due to the limitation
of Google Hangouts, only a limited number of slots are available. Hence, do
let us know (on the event page
<https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/c1c0msurhua7enopsu3q8l42j3s>) if you
would like to participate on the Hangout. The IRC channel #wikimedia-office
and the Q&A channel for the youtube broadcast will be open for interactions
during the session.
Our last online round-table session was held in June 2015. You can watch
the recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbXyHmpZJGE
Please read below for the event details and do let us know if you have any
questions.
Thank you
Runa

I talked to Charlotte SH Jensen at the National Museum in Copenhagen yesterday.
We've been talking and doing stuff for several years, so we have a
huge backlog of ideas that didn't work, but we're still able to find
new things to do.
One idea that came up yesterday is rotating pictures on Wikipedia. We
hope to get people to do something at the #hack4dk hackathon in early
October.
See the idea at

#hack4dk at http://hack4.dk/

Hi all,
Europeana is holding a short survey to investigate the costs of right clearance in cultural institutions. Please forward to anyone for whom this might be relevant!
Quoting from a LinkedIn post:
Europeana is advocating for copyright reform to make it easier for cultural heritage institutions to share items online. To help us, please take our 3-question survey about the costs of rights clearance within your organisation by 18 September.
Link to the survey: http://svy.mk/1MZg1R8 <http://svy.mk/1MZg1R8>
Best, Sandra
