Fantastic. It looks like a great evening. I'll be at the Powerhouse Museum. Now the hard part, what to vote on. Too many great images to choose from...

Say, what's your timeframe for getting schedules up on when/where we can go visit and watch the fun?
Also, I wonder if any interested users in specific areas will be able to 'host' one of these? That could be really cool. :)

Unfortunately, there are no Commons institution members anywhere in Africa or Central or South America at the moment (though of course there may be applications in from some to join). My understanding is that these are events only to be held at Commons member institutions, though I assume that Flickr might do something in San Francisco.
Maybe, though, someone will set up a webcam here or there some of the time?

Actually, I think the option to host your own party exists -- for anyone interested, just get in touch with Paula as she states here.

Thanks for extending the deadline, in my true last minute style I only just started to vote. So far I've found the the Common Ground voting process a great way to further explore what can sometimes seem a dauntingly vast collection of photographs. See at the Phm on the big night!

We're hosting the Common Ground slideshow in the Safety Harbor Public Library conference room on Saturday October 3, 2009 from 1-4 p.m. Everyone is invited to stop by and enjoy the show. Here's our website. Safety Harbor is a small, historic town on beautiful Tampa Bay.
Our state library and archives in Tallahassee, Florida (member of the Commons) will host a special viewing of the slide show at the R.A. Gray Building in Tallahassee October 2, between 6:00 and 9:00 p.m. The showing will be part of Tallahassee’s First Friday gallery hop and is open to the public.
This is such a great (and free!) program, we hope other libraries jump on board!

You're all invited to Visby in the Baltic Sea on Saturday Night!
Swedish National Heritage Board will keep the Common Ground event on October 3rd in Visby town on the island of Gotland. Medieval St. Karin Church ruin in central Visby will host us between 8:00 and 11:00 pm Saturday Night. It's indoors in a Crypt...
Hanseatic town of Visby - a World Heritage site - is also one of the "home towns" of the National Heritage Board.
As a fortunate coincidence a local cultural and commercial event is going on in Visby on the same weekend - "Visby Day" with "Culture in the Night". Means that more people than ususal will be around in Visby that night - also to meet us and watch the slideshow. Nice!
Read more about it in a blogpost on our website: www.k-blogg.se/
We really look forward to Saturday - hope a lot of people will show up!

If it is RAINING tonight in Sydney the venue moves to the courtyard cafe at the Powerhouse Museum. (Enter via Macarthur St security gate)
We'll still have everything as scheduled.
Hope to see you there.

I spent the whole time talking with Ryan and forgot to take photos!!
The George Eastman House event was small but well-fed (Rochester has the best sandwich place *EVER*) and intimate in a good way. Loved meeting *so many* of the people who make GEH work!

We had terrible weather so we relocated to the courtyard cafe but the meetup was great. I was so busy I hardly took any photos but I had one of our photographers there who shot the whole night and I will have them up as soon as I can-we have a public holiday Monday so might be Tuesday.
All the best for the other meetups.

Hey all Common Ground attendees
Angelina Russo from Swinburne University of Technology is getting together some information on the Common Ground events for research purposes and would appreciate it if you could take some time to do a quick survey.
Click Here to take survey
This sort of information is really valued and important for analysing events such as these. So if you attended any of the Common Ground events and have some time it would be great to get your feedback.
Thanks
