Hi Maarten, Lodewijk, We had a meeting at the National Office of Cultural Heritage on Wednesday. It was a long discussion about the Hungarian Wikimedia chapter, the Wikimedia movement, the WLM and the Hungarian legal situation of the database of the Cultural Heritage, because there is a new (2010) law about the national data properties, and this law is much stricter than any earlier (all the national databases have to be handled only by the government, anybody who violate this law risk a 5-year prison punishment). The delegation of the Office (president, legal expert, PR manager, head of the register department) was very helpful and positive, but after the meeting we were unsure could we get the data for the competition or not. Today afternoon we got a positive answer: the Office can give us the data we need, after we signed a contract about or cooperation. The legal department of the Office is working on the draft of the contract and we are waiting for their answer.
