I'm on BBC Radio 2 Chris Evans for a three-minute segment around
5:30ish (plus or minus who knows what) and Sky News around 7:15pm.
(Black shirt, no tie ;-) )

Hi all,
I'll be doing a short (3 minute) interview on the Chris Evans
Drivetime show on BBC Radio 2, at around 5.30pm today, on flagged
revisions.
I've just talked to them on the phone, and given them a brief
overview of the situation, so hopefully things will go fairly
smoothly...
Mike

Thanks, Andrew.
It's a pity we have to go across the water to get someone, but thank you. If the program is any of these, let me know so I can listen to the podcast: http://www.4fm.ie/listenagain_dj.asp
To others, is it not time we can handle these things ourselves? http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Ireland

Hi everyone,
Just to let you know, if you're in Dublin at the moment, I'm going to be interviewed by Dublin's Radio 4 on Wikipedia's Flagged Revisions changes that's been working its way round the news media.
If you hear it please let me know what you think
Regards,

I thought I'd start this thread for people to link to multimedia
(podcasts, video and photos) of Wikimania as they find them, so anyone
that wishes to can try and pretend they're there :o)
There's a "day zero" podcast here, supposedly, but the site seems to
be down. Server overload?
http://wikipediaweekly.org/2009/08/26/episode-79-wikimania-2009-day-0/
And there's a Flickr Group here that has some pics of Stallman giving a talk:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/wikimania2009/
Please post any media you find.
This is telly and Very Important. I'll have my suit and tie ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsnight
Perhaps I'll get Paxmanned!
I NEED INFORMATION.
* When's Flagged Revs being switched on?
* Where's the latest version of *precisely what's happening*?
* etc?
I can arse it through for Radio 5, but Newsnight is a bit scary!

Would it be worth applying for a grant via the below incubator?
Particularly for the schools' project, I guess - does anyone have
other projects in mind that this would suit?
Thanks,
Mike

All,
I'm in Buenos Aires for the Wikimania conference in a few days, and
was wondering if there are any Wikimedia UK-related people around. I'm
getting asked questions and invited to things as if I can talk
'officially' for the chapter (which of course I cannot).
Is there going to be someone here who will be able to help people more
'officially'?
Yours,

Yes, I've been to all Wikimania conferences so far (there have only
been 5), and have helped organise all of them (to a decreasing extent
since Boston, thankfully!). There are about a dozen or so people who
have been to all of them so far; one of the little tasks I keep
failing to do is come up with a comprehensive list. :-)
James.

Well, I'd like to think that the Board will ensure at least one
(ideally all) of them attend Wikimania when it's on the same
continent! :-)
As to being an observer, happy to help out, but I'm not sure how
useful it will be when I'm not read into the situation too well. We'll
see!
J.
