Phoebe Ayers will discuss the development and future of Wikipedia - a multilingual, web-based, free content encyclopedia project.
Ms. Phoebe Ayers has been a Wikipedia editor, lecturer, promoter since 2003. She was the Program Coordinator for Wikimania 2006 and on the selection committee for Wikimania 2007 and again is on the committee for 2008. She has been a member of the Wikipedia special projects committee since 2006.
Note they yanked the bio from my userpage, so it's somewhat dated. But yes, as always, ideas for what to talk about and attendees are welcome :)
This reminds me that [[m:Presentations]] and [[Wikipedia:Presentations]] are both in desparate need of updating. I gave half a dozen presentations last year about WP, and I'm sure lots of others did as well... does anyone maintain a better list of talks about Wikipedia anywhere?
cheers, -- phoebe
