Sounds sensible, but before we do that, let's make sure we're talking about the same event...

Hi Stevie,

I'm already in discussion with somebody involved with the convention. We haven't got anything firm yet (there was going to be more conversation at the Coventry meetup on the 30th), so unless you've already made some headway, perhaps we should merge the conversations?

Hello everyone,

I'm aware that asking this question here may just cause my inbox to melt...

I recently met with the organiser of a sci-fi film festival. As a part of the festival they have a big convention which is, I think, being held at the ExCel arena this year in London.

It's early days but we're exploring the possibility of Wikimedia UK doing something within the convention. There will be lots of writers there, and sci-fi film folk. There's lots of scope for things, such as getting photos and sound files for Commons, editing training, an editathon... there's lots of potential.

If anyone is interested in meeting with the convention / festival organiser do let me know and we'll see if we can set something up.

Thank you,

Stevie
