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-socie… 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.scot<http://www.ceut.scot/> and have a "virtual museum" and a
bunch of 360 photography<http://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.

We've mentioned this to Nicolas Belett Vigneron, a Breton speaker in Rennes and long
term Wikipedian and Wikisourceian, and also Rebecca O'Neill of Wikimedia Community
Ireland (not a native Irish Gaelic speaker, but interested in promoting the language) and
I will also reach out to some Irish Gaelic speakers in the west of Ireland that were
interested in working with Wikipedia as an education tool.

The first ‘Celtic Knot’ – Wikipedia Language
Conference will take place 5 &

Hi Ewan,
Good to see you on Monday.
The Australian editor I mentioned, who is heavily involved in Noongarpedia:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Noongarpedia
is Gideon Digby:

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