Werespielchequers and I are having another editathon Next Sunday morning at
the lovely Cinema Museum <http://www.cinemamuseum.org.uk/> in Elephant and
Castle.
The election got in the way for both of us so not much organisation beyond
WMUK agreeing to pay for refreshements and the Museum willing to open up
yet again to us.
Please let us know you can come.
11am for a few hours editing and then the chance to stay for a film
screening of the wonderfully dark Coup de Torchon

I've been asked to provide examples of UK universities releasing media

out-of-copyright works).
Do any spring to mind?
