Hi all,
Wikimania is in less than a month! A lot of things related to Wikisource will happen there!
Here is a quick overview: There will be a room with a full day of presentations about Transcription, most of them being about Wikisource (see https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Program and https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Transcription) and a meetup ( https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Meetups/Wikisource feel free to sign up! and if you have suggestion of topics to talk about, please add them to the Agenda section).
I can't wait to see some of you there, and for the others we will share as much as we can (at least a report).
Cheers, ~nicolas

Welcome to Sweden! Is anybody interested in seeing the inside of some libraries, while in Stockholm? In the days before, during or after Wikimania?
There is a "culture crawl" planned for Thursday August 15, or rather four different crawls, but they almost signed full already, https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Related_activities/Culture_Crawl However, no libraries are included in the culture crawls.
The Swedish Wikisource community is very small and disorganized, so I can't show any projects that it has completed. As some of you know, I am the founder of Project Runeberg, a somehow competing project, which also has a small or non-existing community and nothing physical to display to visitors.
We might find an opportunity to visit the Royal Library, which is the national library of Sweden, and some other libraries in Stockholm. But to organize this during the days of Wikimania, there is a risk of colliding with other conference events.
For an excursion to Uppsala University (80 km away), we would definitely need an extra day. Is that realistic? If so, which day? (Skokloster castle is another destination, close to Uppsala, so a visit could be included in the same trip.)

Yes! I'm in Stockholm the entire week so for me the 12th would be fine as well, especially for Uppsala which is one of the places I have not yet planned for.
