[open-humanities] Fwd: Announce for Open Literature Sprint

Mon Jan 20 19:00:44 UTC 2014

Hi Rufus,

Yes, I've been sending out annoucements, Lieke reposted on OpenGLAM, and
the info has gone round twitter at least twice (potentially more without
mentions of me).

At the moment, I'm entering one of my busiest teaching weeks of term (16
students, 10 essays to mark) so can't really do much more.

@Sam - could you do a bit more publicity?

See you on Saturday!

James
