Hello Katie, James, Greg and everybody on the
Wikimania-l list,
The fundraising team at WMF San Francisco is planning to conduct
on-camera interviews with Wikipedians during Wikimania and during the DC
Hackathon. Our goal is to create high quality video content narrated by
Wikipedians about their experiences that we could use to make a short video
for this years fundraiser (and possibly other projects too) that would
communicate the efforts of the movement and our mission to the world in an
engaging, informative way.
We are interested in taking portrait photographs of the Wikipedians we
interview that we could use for banners and other movement communication.
Normally I would do this, but since I'll be busy with interviews, I may
need some help. Is anyone hiring any photographers for anything like this?
Maybe we could collaborate?
Does anyone have a list of Wikimania attendees? I'd like to contact
attendees before the convention to see if they would be interested in
talking about their involvement with the movement (either on camera or off
camera). If you know of anyone I should talk to, please let me know, I'd
love to speak with them!
At George Washington University, my team is supposed to have rooms 402,
403 & 404 booked to do interviews, but Megan Trzcinski at GWU has informed
me otherwise; here is the information that I have from her:
July 9th: 402, 403, 404 available
July 10th: rooms not available
July 11th: 402 already booked in reservation. 403 and 404 not available.
July 12th: 402, 404 already booked in reservation until 7pm. 403 not
available.
July 13th: 402, 404 already booked in reservation until 7pm. 403 not
available.
July 14th: 402, 404 already booked in reservation until 7pm. 403 not
available.
July 15th: 402, 404 already booked in reservation until 7pm. 403
available.
I'd like to know if these rooms are indeed booked.
If Megan says they are booked or available or not available, then her word
is authoritative.
I am going to be in Washington D.C. on the 16th next week to scout the
rooms we have booked at GWU and also search for alternate spaces on GWU
campus or near Wikimania in general that we might want to record in. I'd
like to meet with someone who can help.
I will be available on the 16th.
Thank you everyone and please let me know if my efforts overlap with
anything you are working on. I'd love to help in any way I can.
