Do these Hubs have anything to do with writing in languages other than
English?

Greetings,

What made me happy this week was the establishment of Wikimedia Hub in two
academic institutions in Nigeria, University of Ibadan and Nigeria
Institute of Journalism. I want to thank members of my community (Wikimedia
User Group Nigeria) who made this happened.

Regards,

Isaac

  What made me happy this week was the discovery of
some good scientific
 imagery that was openly licensed!

 The USDA has created a bunch of identification sites for species of
 agricultural interest and released the images into the public domain.
 I was looking for images of a particular mite and discovered the Bee
 Mite site has released most of their images and all of their text to
 the PD [1]. (I have uploaded to commons although done a bit of a hack
 job on it). There are other sites which would also be a candidate for
 batch upload, which are listed here: http://idtools.org/identify.php
 (anyone interested in molluscs?)

 I have also discovered this Clinical Skills textbook licensed under CC
 by 4 attribution.[2] I am in the process of adding some high quality
 medical diagrams to articles on wiki. This same website hosts a bunch
 of other open text books which may be a similarly good source of
 content: https://opentextbc.ca/
