Dear guys,

 

I hope you don’t mind this approach. Rather than contributing to separate elists, I’ve put a message on a bulletin board hosted at OCLC. They’re the largest non profit for librarians in the world. They also have a tool – the Dewey Decimal Code – which could help wikimedians associate their content with their projects (and communications).

 

I’ve started a thread and offered a poll if you’d like to offer an opinion. http://forums.oclc.org/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=11732

 

So far as a little background on me. I’m a fifty something who has worked in media for a lot a years and would like to help by getting a bunch of sponsors on board the wiki train – both for the conference and also for the equipment which supports wikimediafoundation (non profit) stuff.

 

I also have a bunch of mates who have run conferences for Rotarians in the past E.g. 64,000 in Chicago a few years ago.

 

My best regards,

Simon Fenton - Jones
