Actually, I've looked at this a bit more deeply and it appears it could be
the same conference after all. It sounds like lots of people already have
this in hand. To avoid duplication then, I'll leave it with you and
concentrate on the film festival later in the year.
Thank you,
Stevie

I posted that page on the wikimania wiki so it is
independent of your
contact.
The August SciFi conference at ExCel is Loncon3 - the World Science
Fiction convention. It is the weekend after Wikimania. It is very well
attended by authors so would be a good place to gather voice intros and
even interviews.
- It will have an exhibition hall with dealers tables, art
exhibition, poster displays. Do we want a table there for our voice intro
booth?
- It will have a large program of panels on all kinds of stuff SF
fans are interested in. Do we have a photographer interested in hanging out
in the Green room taking pics of panel members?
- It will have the Hugo award ceremony (If you buy membership you get
to vote and you get a copy of most of the nominated works included in your
membership).
- It will have a multimedia stream and a music stream and a lot of
hanging out in bars discussing stuff till late.
Is WMUK interested in participating? Is WMUK interested in paying for
memberships for volunteers who would be willing to man a booth? Loncon3 is
starting to finalise their arrangements so we need to decide what we are
interested in doing.
Yours
Joe

Perhaps something to be taken offlist with those

don't break any confidences?
Or keep things on-list/on-wiki for transparency?
I'd be potentially interested in helping do something here.
With the August SciFi conference in London - I know one of the
organising committee for that, and previously put them in touch with
Ed/James/Saad to see if anything could be done. I'm not sure whether the
page on the Wikimania wiki is related to that contact, or if it's an
independent activity. If it is separate, then I'd be happy to provide
another introduction here...
Thanks,
Mike
