Dear Asaf, head of Global South Relationships of Wikimedia Foundation
Now, we are in talk to hold a Wiki Academy in Seoul, Korea. It's not finalized to set a date, but tentatively we are going to have the event late October. Mr. Liam Wyatt is a speaker we need exactly. In addition to GLAM-WIKI speaker, we also need to a speaker to talk on Wikipedia editing in university or education sector.
Public data sharing and Creative Commons Movement are getting popular and this year Korean government started its public data sharing program at www.data.go.kr. I hope his coming and speaking could bring us some more media attention to Wikipedia and Free Culture Movement and he could visit some related institutions to give new perspectives.
Would you forward this mail to Mr. Wyatt. I think we don't need him just for speaking but we need his expertise on content sharing and inter institutional relationship to improve Wikipedia. I would like to know his availability on late October. Our first candidate date is Oct. 22.
Best regards Cheol
