I did a pre-interview interview with Dianne today on the telephone.
She said she;'d call me wenesday to set up the interview. She got my
name off the list somehow. I told her I'm available and have done news
TV before.

Hi all - Folks from PBS's News Hour
(
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/)
will be in SF on Thursday and they are very keen to shoot a segment
with Wikipedia volunteers. The subject of the meeting/discussion
relates to Chris Anderson's new book 'Free' - they're building off of
that concept and exploring the biggest free projects, specifically why
people edit, what drives them, and what they think about the free
culture movement.
Diane Lincoln, a reporter with the News Hour is coordinating the
shoot. The interviewer will be one of the News Hour personalities.
They would like to shoot/interview a group of 3-4 SF volunteers either
at our offices or close by, likely outdoors at South Park. At this
stage we've tentatively booked 2:00pm in the afternoon of THursday
June 25.
If you're interested in taking part in this you can reach out Diane
directly (she's also CCed on this note) at DLincoln(a)newshour.org.
I will be involved in this, and we may have one other Wikimedia person
involved in the interviews either at the same time or immediately
afterwards.
Thanks!
