Hello list, especially Sydneysiders,
A friend of mine, Donna Benjamin, is organising an event in Sydney in
October called "Open-Edge" (as in education I think).
http://open-edge.info/ They have relatively short speaking slots
(15-30 minutes) and I think it would be great if there was a
Wikimedian presentation there.
Does anyone feel up for it? She is looking to finalise the line-up
relatively soon.
If you have never presented before, those of us who have can give you
some tips for what to cover, common questions etc. There are also
quite a few existing slide sets etc you can draw on. It's quite a
short time so you don't need to present the comprehensive thing ever,
and the audience should be quite friendly.
Anyone keen?
thanks,
Brianna
I'm sure most of the Wiki people out there already know this - but just as a reminder.

Hi all,

to catch up?
It looks like the options are... Saturday day, Sunday day/evening, Monday
day, Tuesday day.
Any ideas?

Hi all,
A couple of interesting events this week in Sydney.
First is a public lecture tonight (!), 8-7.45pm at the University of
Technology Sydney.
http://datasearch.uts.edu.au/law/news-events/events-detail.cfm?ItemId=19462
It's called "UTSpeaks: Copy Right or Wrong". The speaker is Professor
Michael Fraser, who was CEO of the Copyright Agency Limited (CAL),
which suggests to me he may have some 'interesting' views not shared
by Wikimedians about copyright and copyleft.
Second is Rose Holley talking at the Mosman Library on Thursday, 6-7.30pm.
http://www.mosman.nsw.gov.au/events/2086/stories-to-tell-the-making-of-our-…
Rose is one of the key National Library people behind their newspapers
digitisation program, which lets the public correct OCR text from
Australia's public domain newspapers. I'm sure this will be a very
interesting talk and she would love to meet any Wikipedians there.
cheers
Brianna
