AI4LAM Community Onboarding Calls September 16 and 17
We are happy to announce two AI4LAM Community Onboarding Calls this month:
Monday, September 16, 8pm GMT/UTC (9pm London | 10pm Paris & Oslo | 1pm San Francisco | 4pm Washington DC | 6am+1 Canberra | 8am+1 Wellington)
Tuesday, September 17, 3pm GMT/UTC (4pm London | 5pm Paris & Oslo | 8am San Francisco | 11am Washington DC | 1am+1 Canberra | 3am+1 Wellington)
This onboarding session is open to newcomers, people in GLAMs who are just engaging in AI projects, and those who would like to do so. If you have AI-related questions you never dared to ask, if you need a hint to start your own AI experimentation, or if you just want a chance to discuss AI topics with other interested people, this call may be for you!
Please note that registration is free and required for the sessions and will be limited to 60 seats per session. There is a wait list for those who sign up after the capacity is reached. Both sessions will cover the same material so you only need to attend one.
Additionally, the Speech-to-Text Working Group will meet on Thursday, September 26, 2pm GMT/UTC (3pm London | 4pm Paris & Oslo | 7am San Francisco | 10am Washington DC | 12am midnight Canberra | 2am+1 Wellington). The group meets on the 4th Thursday of every month. Interested in learning more? All are welcome to join the Slack channel #speech-to-text.

AI4LAM Awesome List
The AI4LAM Awesome List is an online list of resources of interest to the AI4LAM community. It features very brief descriptions and links to learning materials, software tools, projects, and various other resources relevant to the intersection of AI and (G)LAMs. The list is curated and maintained cooperatively by people in AI4LAM. Anyone can make suggestions for additions, changes, and improvements.
We have new ways of contributing and making suggestions, so do check out our new page all about it!
