And Europeana. ;-)

Sam, Joris and Sarah (in cc) have been thinking about how we can support
greater transatlantic coordination re: opening up metadata from GLAM
institutions. We have starting thinking about activities/event in this area
for 2013 and it would be great to swap notes on this front.

We also wanted to use this to start connecting open digitisation
initiatives, so we can start to figure out where there are open copies of
public domain works - and what needs to be done [1].
