Hi Owen,

I’m a Hebridean so I can help out here :)  Comann Eachdraidh Uibhist a Tuath is 
the North Uist Historical Society (there are many local historical societies 
throughout the islands) and they’re based in Taigh Chearsabhagh the museum and 
arts centre in Lochmaddy.  I don’t personally know any of the people involved 
(I’m from Lewis, a couple of islands further north) but their contact details 
are here 
http://www.taigh-chearsabhagh.org/heritage/ceut-north-uist-historical-societ/  
Several of the historical societies are involved in really innovative local 
history and language projects.

Le dùrachdan,
Lorna

failed miserably to type up any of my notes or collate the tweets, but they're 
www.ceut.scot and have a "virtual museum" and a bunch of 
360 photography and VR stuff they did with support 
from the University of St Andrews. I don't remember the details, but there was 
a bunch of it involving Gàidhlig (oddly enough, given they're a Hebridean 
organisation).

Probably worth someone getting in touch, at least.

Hi Ewan,

Good to see you on Monday.

The Australian editor I mentioned, who is heavily involved in Noongarpedia:

   https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Noongarpedia

is Gideon Digby:

   https://wikimedia.org.au/wiki/User:Gnangarra

   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gnangarra

He or one of his colleagues from that project would be an excellent
speaker for your event.
