Our conference is not only about maps so if you could give us some insight into Wikipedia that would be really good. We usually have 20mins with 10 mins for questions. Since the event is free you can also use it to connect to your base too. I have offered that Wikipedia can share our meetings with us. We have a social every 3 months in the pub.

Well, I was going to promote within the Wikimedia community in Scotland, if you think there are any natural synergies there let me know.
