It was great meeting all of you - some again and some for the first time. As promised, we have posted all the resources on the handout sheet. I apologize for the delay in posting them. Thanks again for making it out and for all of your advice and help! Myotus (talk) 15:19, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry guys, I have a prior obligation for an opening of a Sami film in Minneapolis. Would love to hear what happens - take care... Dinkytown talk 13:46, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion edit

Have fun at this everyone. Sorry I can't come. The MNHS were kind enough to fly me up to visit them yesterday and talk about GLAM-Wikimedia relations in general and how that might look in their situation which was really interesting to talk with them. Of course, hosting a meetup is the best possible way to start that relationship so I look forward to seeing what you can do together. As a first example, have a look at some of these articles that could be transported to Wikipedia if they would dual-license as CC-by-SA and not only GFDL. Keep in touch!

That's great you were able to sit down with them --hopefully our collaboration will work into something as amazing as the work you and your colleagues did with the British Museum. --Bobak (talk) 18:06, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
