As you might know, the 2013 conference will be in Lincoln, organised by the Conference Committee with support from the office.

With the venue chosen, we now need to figure out an exciting programme. A lot of this is in the planning stage and we will be releasing more information later, however one of the first thing we need to do is figure out some keynote speakers.

Later in the year we will be calling for papers and speakers from within the community, right now we are focusing on finding one or two "big names" who have something relevant to say.

As this is your concert we need to know who you want to hear from!

It could be anyone; from celerities, to politicians, to activists. We're looking for intriguing suggestions, people with a unique perspective.

Some initial suggestions have been made, please please do suggest further ideas here on the mailing list, by emailing myself or posting on this page: http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_UK_2013/Speakers

Regards,

Tom
