We told you a couple of weeks ago about Common Ground: a community-curated global Flickr Commons meetup. Now we know more!

So far, the event hosts on October 2-3 are:

in North America:

  • Brooklyn Museum + New York Public Library combined, at the Brooklyn Museum, NY
  • George Eastman House, Rochester NY
  • Oregon State University Archives
  • State Library and Archives of Florida

in  Australia & New Zealand:

  • Powerhouse Museum + State Library of New South Wales combined at the Powerhouse
  • State Library of Queensland
  • Australian War Memorial

  • Swedish National Heritage Board

Watch this topic for new announcements, or to find out how to host an event yourself!

And if you still haven’t put your votes in for what will be in the common slide show, you have more time!  Voting has been extended to September 16.

See you in October!

    L´Europe c´est toi, Lars?

    Funny how European, or rather “non-Anglo” institutions, are so much fewer at The Commons. Simply a reflection of language barriers or something to do with institutional culture?
