Re: Wikimania 2008

Okay, I've created
https://wikimedia.pentabarf.org/submission/wikimania2008/event/18

PLEASE let me know when you've signed up via the link given below and I'll
try and figure out how to add you to the Wikimania event so you can edit it.

As I've already commented I want at least three or four Wikinewsies on the
ground at the event. Yes, we'll do a panel on the project and kick someone
off it to do the original reporting on our event. That's probably going to
be the hardest part of having people there.

Depending on circumstances, sponsorship to get there may be available, so do
NOT say, "I can't afford it, I won't get involved". Even if prior
commitments make it impossible for you to attend then you can still
contribute to our event/session "bid". This is effectively a sales pitch on
how we can participate in a more noticeable way than previous years. There
will likely be opportunities to interview people such as Jimmy and Florence
as well as keynote speakers.

Making it international has to be an aspect of this; if we can get people
from non-en wikis involved it'd be great. The obvious case here is some of
the Polish guys, or BrockF5 from Taiwan. If there are issues where these
people may require visas prior to departure I'd be happy to pretend to be
the chief editor again or hassle WMF and Wikimania people to write letters
of recommendation.

Business cards for accredited reporters

I’ve uploaded a draft design for a business card at http://tinyurl.com/2le2lb and am looking for other people to have a go too. The specification for the card stock is 90mm x 50mm. I’m not sure about the U.S. but in Europe this is a standard size for cards and you can usually get perforated stock to print onto in your local computer shop.

 

Before anyone gets their panties in a twist about use of the logo, Mike Godwin has informally said nobody will object, so we’re good to go on this.

 

Plan is to have several designs put forward and put to a vote to settle on a single consistent design for everyone. If you’ve photoshop then there’s several people can work from the design to do versions for other reporters. If you use something else you may end up doing the template and all the cards for each reporter to print out.

 

If you’ve any ideas for a design but no software add it to the above-linked part of the Water Cooler and someone will give it a go.

      Re: URGENT: Interview Possibilities

      I'd say Lee Sharpe because his never made it big as a footballer but yet became famous still through reality TV. Jamie Cullum is also a good choice.
