Folks WMAU will be sponsoring the New Librarians Symposiums (NLS) to be held in Brisbane 9-11 February 2013,
http://newlibrarianssymposium.com/ where Sue Gardner, Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation, is a keynote speaker: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sue_Gardner As part of the sponsorship arrangements, WMAU receives a number of free registrations. We are delighted to offer these to our members and non-members (priority to members). If you want to receive one of these free registrations, please contact [email protected] by Sunday 27 January. Please let us know if you are a member (or not) and (briefly) why you are interested in attending in terms of past or future involvement with libraries. We will give you a decision by Tuesday 29 January. We will continue to accept requests after that date if free registrations remain. Travel funds. To assist in defraying any out-of-pocket expenses associated with attending NLS, you may apply for up to $200 of reimbursement under our Volunteer Support Program. http://www.wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Volunteer_Support_Programme We would expect you to be able to attend all 3 days of the symposium and be willing to network with other attendees conveying informed and positive messages about free knowledge, Wikimedia projects and WMAU. If you are just interested in the opportunity to hear/meet with Sue Gardner, there is no need to register for NLS as there will be other free opportunities during her Brisbane visit, including a meetup on Monday 11 February evening (more information coming shortly) and this talk on Wednesday 13 February evening: http://www.slq.qld.gov.au/whats-on/calevents/general/talks/deepen/wikimedia Sue Gardner's NLS keynote will be recorded and distributed.
