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
Hi, Cheol.
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're still determining who would be in the best position to represent academic outreach, and I'll keep you posted.
I look forward to learning more about your plans for the event. Are any of you making it to Wikimania this year?
Cheers,
Asaf

Hello, Asaf.
Thank you, Asaf.
It's a good news. I will let you know the progress. I believe the core member of KOWP community could make the event happened successfully.
Sorry, I do not attend Wikimania this year. I hope I could next one.
Yours, Cheol

Hello Cheol, Just to reiterate what Asaf has said, I am very happy to support you in this project and if that means you would like me to visit Korea, I would be honoured to come!
