Hi, Cheol.<div><br></div><div>I am happy to be able to confirm that the WMF will be happy to support your Wikipedia Academy in October with _two_ WMF guests.  Liam Wyatt (CCed), our GLAM fellow, will be one of them.  We&#39;re still determining who would be in the best position to represent academic outreach, and I&#39;ll keep you posted.</div>

<div><br></div><div>I look forward to learning more about your plans for the event.  Are any of you making it to Wikimania this year?</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>   Asaf<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<span style="font-size:13px;line-height:19px;font-family:sans-serif"><br></span></div><div><font face="sans-serif"><span style="line-height:19px">Now, we are in talk to hold a Wiki Academy in Seoul, Korea. It&#39;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.</span></font></div>


<div><span style="font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px">Public data sharing and Creative Commons Movement are getting popular and this year Korean government started its public data sharing program at <a href="http://www.data.go.kr" target="_blank">www.data.go.kr</a>. 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. </span></div>


<div><span style="font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px"><br></span></div><div><font face="sans-serif"><span style="line-height:19px">Would you forward this mail to Mr. Wyatt. I think we don&#39;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.</span></font></div>
