Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Last chance - 'Backstage Pass' in Sydney this Friday
Hi all I have been called down to Melbourne to work for a week, starting tomorrow morning, so have to now pull out from Friday's excursion. Absolutely gutted I am missing out on this opportunity - I will take my name off the list on the Wiki event page. I hope someone can replace me at this late notice.. so sorry I am pulling out so late. Hopefully it is a cracker of a day. Sam 2009/3/11 Liam Wyatt liamwy...@gmail.com Ladies and Gentlemen! This is a final call for participants at the first “Backstage Pass” tour to be held by *Wikimedia Australia* in Sydney THIS FRIDAY @ 10am. Our hosts for the day are the *Powerhouse** Museum* who now have upwards of 5 of their curators coming along to show us around. To find out more please visit: http://wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Backstage_pass There are places available if you can still come along. We will be meeting on the forecourt then a personalised “access all areas” tour for a couple of hours, lunch, then editing for a couple of hours afterwards. If you are in the area and would like to come, please add your name or contact me so that we know to wait for you. And don’t forget your laptop to help out afterwards if you can. This is the first chance Wikimedians anywhere in the world have had to get privileged access to an institution and its experts. It will also be the first time that our content has been written around the one table at the same time. So it’s a bit of an experiment in two ways. The *Powerhouse** Museum** *is very interested to see how we can take their knowledge and publicise it to the world - so let’s show them what ‘Wikimedians in the real world’ can achieve. Looking forward to seeing as many people as can make it, - Liam -- Email - liamwy...@gmail.com Phone - +61 (0)434 056 914 Skype - Wittylama Wikipedia - [[User:Witty lama]] ___ Wikimediaau-l mailing list Wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l ___ Wikimediaau-l mailing list Wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l

Well I look forward to seeing you there! Does that mean that Cary (and therefore the foundation office are aware of the event?) don't feel pressured to come along - like everything else in the wiki-verse you can't force people to be interested in something. So if it's not your cup of tea and you feel railroaded I won't hold it against you if you're not coming. It would be great if you did, of course! Just don't feel pressured to do so. best, - Liam On 12/03/2009, at 11:37, Andrew Garrett and...@werdn.us wrote: Brianna and Cary have railroaded me into coming along. I'll see you tomorrow!
