Hi Sam (and all) Awesome work regarding getting it into the Fremantle Festival! :) The first one in September was great fun - I enjoyed being part of the organising team for the event, and my dad enjoyed being one of its participants. I wish the Fremantle guys well for next week, and I'll try to be there.
Just so people know, the Wiki Takes Joondalup came out of an opportunity to work with the Local History Library at the City of Joondalup. To date I've been running this one as a solo effort, and I'm grateful for their participation and assistance, including provision of a venue - I had a meeting with some of their people Friday before last to secure their support. For those who don't know the Joondalup area, it's a regional centre in Perth's outer northern suburbs - a place where we have and have always had very few Wikimedians - and the relative "newness" of the area, combined with the low commercial/residential density, make it difficult to photograph. I intend to finish working on the pages later today to bring them up to date with discussions I've had with them. One of the interesting opportunities arising from it is the possible collaboration with Picture Joondalup<http://www.joondalup.wa.gov.au/Explore/Libraries/LocalHistory/picturejoondalup.aspx>, a CC (restricted :( ) licenced collection of photos - mostly historical - that they've been building themselves. As they're pretty keen on maintaining the licencing it already has, I'm not sure where to move with this one, but would be keen on ideas. kindest regards Andrew On 13 November 2011 08:31, Sam Wilson <[email protected]> wrote: > On 13/11/11 7:40 AM, Laura Hale wrote: > >> >> Can't set it up but did request it at >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/**Wikipedia:Geonotice#Requests<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Geonotice#Requests>. >> It is very, >> very last minute. :( No guarantees that some one will see it and post >> it but the effort was made. >> > > > > Thanks!
