<div><br></div><div>Like I said, I think this kind of thing is outside of the remit of Wikimedia. If you are interested in developing a network such as this in Ireland, get in touch
 with me. I&#39;ve a spare server with a suitable (I think) domain name left over from a idea I didn&#39;t follow through with. I&#39;d be happy to give the three of you (Conor, James and Jodi) FTP and DB access; and to set-up a mailing list, if you think there are more that would be interested in communicating over these kinds of broad &quot;hacker&quot;, OSS, CC culture, collaboration, evangelism and development  etc. in Ireland.</div>

<blockquote style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote">Hi all,<br><br>

sorry I won&#39;t be able to make it due to prior commitments but I am<br>

still very keen on being part of the project. Since I won&#39;t be at the<br>

meeting, I would like to mention a few things in the hope of starting<br>

some discussions.<br><br>

My main interests are to encourage more educators to use Wikimedia<br>

tools and to help people to release more music/media into the commons.<br>

I would like to achieve this by getting funding to put on<br>

demonstrations which would include information on how to find, use and<br>

remix CC licensed music and showcasing the open-source software one<br>

could use to do this. I have many years&#39; experience with the Fedora<br>

operating system coupled with Planet CCRMA&#39;s multimedia software<br>

patch.<br><br>

I am interested in using Wikimedia to help introduce open, shared<br>

resources to educators. I would also like funding to do demonstrations<br>

for, and have meetings with, teachers. I am interested in raising<br>

awareness of evolution by natural selection in Irish classrooms and<br>

would also like to encourage content generation in relation to this.<br><br>

Irish language projects would be important for an Irish Wikimedia so<br>

that should be discussed.<br><br>

A good publicity tool would be a competition involving music,<br>

photography and/or art. All entries could be released under CC license<br>

and the winners promoted on the Irish Wikimedia website. Wikimedia<br>

doesn&#39;t seem to have much in the way of music storage - discuss?<br><br>

I hope this can help start some discussions and begin to focus on<br>

finding some goals that this project will have.<br><br>

Looking forward to hearing from you,<br><br><font color="#888888">
