Hi all,
Just letting you know in case you don't: Wikimedia UK is organizing a Wikimedia language conference in Edinburgh on July 6, called Celtic Knot https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Celtic_Knot_Conference_2017. Originally conceived as a conference about Celtic language Wikipedias, its focus was expanded to include indigenous Wikipedias in general, as there was quite a bit of interest from outside of Celtic languages as well. I'll be going as part of my job in Wikimedia Norge, talking together with Astrid Carlsen about our Northern Sami Wikipedia project, but I figured that I should try to represent the language committee as well in case anyone there needs any input or help from us.
And finally, registration is still open for another two weeks if anyone else is interested in going. :-)
Thank you for that Jon, I am going too to represent Wikimedia Switzerland and to speak about the project of digital library in Reto-Romansh.
It means collecting all books in all versions of Romansh (spoken in Switzerland) and of dolomitic ladin (spoken in Italy).
Kind regards
