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.scot and have a "virtual museum" and a bunch of 360 photography 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.

Best

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.
