### Primavera

  • Meeting with UNESCO’s OSM team – they need to find data collectors and/or ways to motivate people or businesses to collect data to insert into OSM – need for a business model or something. suggestion to submit a workshop or presentation or lightening talk proposal, still in time? 🙂 – excellent! still time – please ping Daniel Dietrich

  • Giuseppe Contissa agreed to implement an Australian flowchart, eta: 1 week
  • http://testing.publicdomainworks.net:5000
  • primavera – bibliographica appears to be a bit down at the moment… which makes search slow. as RP said, should have a new instance up soon. here is an example page that pulls data from bibliographica too (also not working right now tho).

  • contact Joie Springer (responsible for memory of the world and world digital library programmes at unesco) to find out if we can integrate or access their metadata
  • Sanjaya Mishra who is working to conceptualize the links between open access and public domain
