[OHM] Historic Digest, Vol 27, Issue 1

[Susanna Ånäs]

Hi all!

I am happy about this development and would like to be joining the crew,
whatever form it takes. With the Wikimaps project we are open to options,
and would really love to see different aspects of historical geodata be
developed to a common direction.

Would you be happy to join the Wikimaps December Hangout on December 2nd?
It is the last one scheduled under the title of Wikimaps. If you like a
joint meeting, we can profile the theme again for the common community.

The Hangout link is
https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/calendar/c3VzYW5uYS5hbmFzQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ.oa315jk1mjiqalsh7qacuemfc8?authuser=0.
I can send calendar invites as well.

The Hangout has happened once a month, on the first Tuesday of each month.
The future events have been listed on the Wikimaps events page
http://wikimaps.wikimedia.fi/events/designers-developers-online-2014-12-02/.
We could change that to be a more flexible system, such as a Google event.
The future time could be changed as well.

Hope to hear your responses!

Best,
Susanna Ånäs / Wikimaps
