Hi Owen,
I’m a Hebridean so I can help out here :) Comann Eachdraidh Uibhist a Tuath is the North Uist Historical Society (there are many local historical societies throughout the islands) and they’re based in Taigh Chearsabhagh the museum and arts centre in Lochmaddy. I don’t personally know any of the people involved (I’m from Lewis, a couple of islands further north) but their contact details are here http://www.taigh-chearsabhagh.org/heritage/ceut-north-uist-historical-societ... Several of the historical societies are involved in really innovative local history and language projects.
Le dùrachdan, Lorna

Has anyone got in touch with the Comann Eachdraidh Uibhist a Tuath people who ran a session at Mozfest last year?
I can't find a more useful URL about the session than https://github.com/MozillaFoundation/mozfest-program-2016/issues/825 and I've failed miserably to type up any of my notes or collate the tweets, but they're www.ceut.scothttp://www.ceut.scot/ and have a "virtual museum" and a bunch of 360 photographyhttp://www.ceut.scot/360/ and VR stuff they did with support from the University of St Andrews. I don't remember the details, but there was a bunch of it involving Gàidhlig (oddly enough, given they're a Hebridean organisation).
Probably worth someone getting in touch, at least.

Hi Ewan,
Good to see you on Monday.
The Australian editor I mentioned, who is heavily involved in Noongarpedia:

is Gideon Digby:

He or one of his colleagues from that project would be an excellent speaker for your event.
