Hi Guys,
One topic where I think this group could have a quick impact is engaging 
with groups looking a meta-data related to publishing open data sets and 
making sure they consider declaring the relevant language codes for the 
textual content of the data.

For example DCAT has a language property: http://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat/

VoID doesn't seem to have any mention of this: http://vocab.deri.ie/void

and I just raised an issue on this for the Open Data Institute's Open 
Data Certificate activity:
https://github.com/theodi/open-data-certificate/issues/39

Are there other similar inititatives we should engage with?

cheers,
Dave
