Actually, I've looked at this a bit more deeply and it appears it could be
the same conference after all. It sounds like lots of people already have
this in hand. To avoid duplication then, I'll leave it with you and
concentrate on the film festival later in the year.

Thank you,

Stevie

[Wikimediauk-l] Interested in a potential hook-up with a sci-fi film festival?

2014-03-19 Thread Stevie Benton
Hello everyone,

I'm aware that asking this question here may just cause my inbox to melt...

I recently met with the organiser of a sci-fi film festival. As a part of
the festival they have a big convention which is, I think, being held at
the ExCel arena this year in London.

It's early days but we're exploring the possibility of Wikimedia UK doing
something within the convention. There will be lots of writers there, and
sci-fi film folk. There's lots of scope for things, such as getting photos
and sound files for Commons, editing training, an editathon... there's lots
of potential.

If anyone is interested in meeting with the convention / festival organiser
do let me know and we'll see if we can set something up.

Thank you,

Stevie

This would be a good event to run a stall or wikilounge, perhaps with
a live display of photos uploaded to Commons of the event. The English
Wikipedia tends to have the topic well covered, though quality
portraits are hard to get or artworks released.

I follow sf authors and so would be interested in supporting a stall 
photography or helping with initial discussions.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Interested in a potential hook-up with a sci-fi film festival?

2014-03-19 Thread Stevie Benton
Not the same conference, alas. But I will invite the festival organiser
along to Wikimania. It will give him a sense of the kind of things that can
be arranged.

It's good to see so much interest in this. Once I have some more details
I'll invite the festival organiser in for a coffee and to meet some folks
form the community with a view to getting an event page up on the wiki. If
my memory serves me correctly the festival and conference are in October /
November.

More to follow later.

Thanks and regards,

Stevie

 It's early days but we're exploring the possibility of Wikimedia UK doing

I'd be potentially interested in helping do something here.

With the August SciFi conference in London - I know one of the organising 
committee for that, and previously put them in touch with Ed/James/Saad to see 
if anything could be done. I'm not sure whether the page on the Wikimania wiki
