Hi all - Folks from PBS's News Hour (http://www.pbs.org/newshour/) will be in SF on Thursday and they are very keen to shoot a segment with Wikipedia volunteers. The subject of the meeting/discussion relates to Chris Anderson's new book 'Free' - they're building off of that concept and exploring the biggest free projects, specifically why people edit, what drives them, and what they think about the free culture movement.
Diane Lincoln, a reporter with the News Hour is coordinating the shoot. The interviewer will be one of the News Hour personalities. They would like to shoot/interview a group of 3-4 SF volunteers either at our offices or close by, likely outdoors at South Park. At this stage we've tentatively booked 2:00pm in the afternoon of THursday June 25. If you're interested in taking part in this you can reach out Diane directly (she's also CCed on this note) at dlinc...@newshour.org. I will be involved in this, and we may have one other Wikimedia person involved in the interviews either at the same time or immediately afterwards. Thanks! -- Jay Walsh Head of Communications WikimediaFoundation.org blog.wikimedia.org +1 (415) 839 6885 x 609, @jansonw _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-SF mailing list Wikimedia-SF@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf
