Hi all.
I've spoken further to the guy from the BBC and I have the following bits of info you may find interesting:
* They're happy for generated content to be uploaded to Kaltura under a CC-BY-SA license. * They _may_ be able to provide an ultra-portable HD Flip camera to a few people who'd agreed to film for us, if they haven't got their own cameras. * They cannot pay any fees or travel costs.
Again, either get in contact with them via their web-form (link below) or through me.
Tom

Hi,
The BBC have been in contact with us at Wikimedia UK about the possibility of them getting access to some Wikimania footage. I quote:
"We are expecting to film with Jimmy Wales later in the year, but we were really hoping to film at Wikimania. Unfortunately, due to schedules, we simply can't get a crew to the event. And so, it occurred to us that, rather than lose this quintessentially Wikipedian moment, we could - in the spirit of our shared open and collaborative goals - ask some of the attending Wikipedians to shoot some footage for us, for release on an open platform (Kultura) to allow all parties to use the footage under creative commons."
They ask interested parties to get in contact either via their web form here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/digitalrevolution/contactus.shtml or via me/other WMUK board members. (E-mail me and I'll forward it on to them, or alternatively, if you're in the UK email me and I can give you the organiser's phone number.)
Thanks,
Tom
It would be nice if there was the offer of some costs (e.g. airfare or conference registration), surely?

I suggest to do this as much as possible through tom, although I know that gives you a little extra work (sorry!). Otherwise, we risk that we have10 people emailing BBC at the same time. I think it's better if /we/ make a possible selection :)
