[Openglam_members] OpenGLAM Working Group - Update on current developments

Fri Dec 7 11:18:12 UTC 2018

Dear Beat and all,

Sure, actually I think it would be helpful for everyone to check up on what
we discussed so far: you can find our notes at
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y-ooRioOKMgLJo5s9IB-kDmmq5ZXUsiAPGRBzMMJ6KM/edit
In case others would like to join our Monday call, at 18:00 CET, do let me
know!

Just to add, the structure of the reinvigorated OpenGLAM community is at
the moment not fixed at all - we plan to collectively decide, as we go
ahead with our regular calls, on what is most suitable.

best, Lieke
