Tomorrow, at this year’s Eva Berlin Conference, I’ll be presenting my online game "Letterjongg"—as a gamification example in the cultural heritage sector, and also just as a fun little game to enjoy every now and then.

Beaucoup de chefs-d’œuvre sont numérisés, mais restent sous verrou numérique. Le Label Culture Libre est un parcours d’accompagnement de Wikimédia France pour aider les musées et bibliothèques à libérer leurs collections.
En 3 ans, 29 établissements ont déjà sauté le pas pour rendre leurs trésors accessibles à tous et sans barrières.
En attendant l'édition 2026, découvrez les institutions labellisées :

Mapping the art 🗺️
At @smk, we've mapped the motifs in artworks in the museum collection to coordinates 📍
This makes the art explorable by location (the more ways to explore, the better, in our humble opinion).
See it in action @ our online collection SMK Open: https://open.smk.dk/en/map?q=*#2.16/70.25/-19.32
Footnote # 1: This replaces an earlier, less integrated setup
Footnote # 2: We've replaced Google Maps with @openstreetmap
With #Wikidata increasingly used and gaining traction in academic contexts (including #GLAM ), we should engage with the larger community in earnest. I just became aware of the discussions around the reform of current notability policies: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Notability_policy_reform. Even though this seems mainly focussed on self-promotion, it also addresses the underlying infrastructural problems of the platform by limiting the growth of the knowledge graph, and might heavily impact what we can and cannot do with Wikidata.
We should therefore seriously engage with the issue and participate in the discussion.

Danish National Gallery (SMK) on Mastodon ✨
We launched the museum on Mastodon 3 days ago. And we're having so much fun that we even blogged about it: https://write.as/smkmuseum/smk-rhymes-with-mastodon
🙏 to all 🇩🇰 locals who've helped us land safely. And 🙏 to @_elena, @georgiamuseum and others for tips+encouragement 🤗
Some fellow mastodonians suggested I made my altimeter web app work globally. I did.

Now, all you testers out there: Does it work in your location? Is it accurate? Suggestions?
