How can the UK chapter support the project I started: <http://pigsonthewing.org.uk/open-licensed-format-recordings-voices-wikipedia-wikimedia-commons/>
asking the subjects of Wikipedia articles to record a 10-second sample of their speaking voice, for use on those articles? An example script is "Hello, my name is [name]. I was born in [place] and I have been [job or position] since [year]". So far, the participants: <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Voice_intro_project> include Alice Arnold, Sue Black, Quentin Cooper, Corrie Corfield, Cory Doctorow, Jack Schofield, Bill Thompson and Dave Winer; and we've just had our first recording in French - but we need many more. Of course, this isn't limited to article subjects, and it would be a good idea if board members and chapter staff would consider adding their voices, so they can be identified in conference calls and recorded meetings. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
