I'd be interested in doing something a week or two after the election when the dust is starting to settle. By that time we should be able to evaluate the results and the new cabinet/ministerial appointments should be known and there'll be updates needed to various Wikipedia articles and probably biographies needing expansion.I can't make the 7th. Election night would be fun, but as others have pointed out there's a risk of losing momentum before there are any significant edits needed.On Tue, Apr 25, 2017 at 9:57 PM, John Lubbock <john.lubbock@wikimedia.org.uk> wrote:Do we have anyone offering to be a trainer on this yet?

Why? Surely they are all open to being photographed? And why "serious
gear"? Just an iPhone would do?
I rarely take any sort of portrait photograph but the candidate are out
there so be seen (and heard).
