KEY Project will host a training meeting for 'Ike Ku'oko'a directed at those volunteers interested in participating in the movement. The meeting will be held on wednesday 28 Mar. 5pm to 9pm; more details will be given. 'Ike Ku'oko'a, Liberating Knowledge, "the newspaper typescripting project, began taking 60,000 digital scans of Hawaiian-language newspapers printed from 1834 to 1948 and transcribing them into searchable typescript" in November of last year, says their website.
Now thousands volunteers are onboard, giving their time and energy to transcribe the the scanned pages and make the information available to the world online.
We at KEY Project figured it would be good plan to get on board with this, one because its going to be awesome, two because we have a brand new computer lab waiting to be put to use with something like this, and three because we know there are hundreds of people in our community just waiting to get a chance to participate in something like this.
So for those who want a good time volunteering serving your nation and culture and meeting new people come down and join us.
