[00:00:54] *AvoinGLAM invites the Wikimedia tech + GLAM community to Helsinki 6–7 May after the Wikimedia hackathon in Tallinn 3–5 May*, 2024 to discuss the relations between GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums), the open ecosystem and AI. [00:00:56] [00:00:57] *Monday 6 May* focuses on *GLAM + Commons* – how memory organizations can align their activities with the open ecosystem and how the Wikimedia projects can facilitate that. It is followed by sauna, pool and mingling at Allas Sea Pool (https://allasseapool.fi/?lang=en). [00:00:59] [00:01:00] *Tuesday 7 May* is a playground for *GLAM + Commons + AI*. The day is for testing, talking, learning, hacking, whichever is the best way for anyone to get a better understanding how AI works with cultural heritage collections. Program for the day will be crafted during the spring in collaboration with wikimedians and Finnish GLAMs, research projects and companies to find the common interests. [00:01:02] [00:01:03] Tallinn is only a couple of hours boat trip away from Helsinki. Plan your trip via Helsinki and apply for the Wikimedia hackathon scholarship (https://pretix.eu/wikimedia/wmhackathon2024/) before 4 January.

I need to figure out when to travel and which city to spend Sunday night in. I'm guessing that most people will be taking the ferry to Helsinki on Sunday evening. I should do that and adjust my Helsinki booking to include Sunday. Maybe people with a scholarship will [16:32:33] want to stay Sunday night in Tallinn and take the ferry on Monday morning. What are people doing? [16:38:34] I have the impression that moving on Sunday night makes more sense. We will have program in the morning (probably not 9am) but doing the trip before the program starts sounds like an effort. [16:42:24] Ferry takes about 3h IIRC [16:42:31] Checked: The morning ferries arrive at 9:30 and depart 7:00 or 7:30 depending on the company [16:43:21] Cool, thanks. I'll plan to sleep in Helsinki on Sunday night. [16:44:34] I think 10 am start with a coffee in the beginning would be possible. [16:47:03] Ah, if the scholarship recipients have Sunday night covered, I think we should accommodate to that, so that no-one should need to skip the paid accommodation. [16:50:07] I see the Monday afternoon workshop is at Allas Sea Pool. Where are we meeting in the morning? [16:51:07] It's not confirmed yet, but most likely it's a memory institution in Kruununhaka. The Viking Line terminal is nearby. (re @EdwardBetts: I see the Monday afternoon workshop is at Allas Sea Pool. Where are we meeting in the morning?) [16:53:42] Eckerö Line and Tallink arrive in Länsiterminaali further from the city center.
