Dear Darius and Louise,
I am contacting you in relation to your work with Creative Commons Ireland -
Wikimedia Ireland [ http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Ireland ] is in the beginning stages of formation and we were wondering if either or both of you would like to participate.
My own particular interests are to help increase the amount of music (and general media) in the commons and to encourage educators to use more free, collaboratively-generated materials in their courses.
After gathering 10-20 people to form an Irish Wikimedia chapter, we would like to establish a legal structure (as a charity or company - undecided) in Ireland. We could then apply for funding and host educational events promoting a more sharing approach to media, etc.
If this sounds like something that interests you, please contact myself or the Wikimedia Ireland mailing list (wikimediaie@lists.wikimedia.org - cc'd in this email).
Kind Regards,
Conor Wao.
Nicely worded, Conor.
Oliver
