Just to note that I've already communicated the possibility of volunteer support and equipment loan to the organiser. Waiting for the decision from the WMF on the project & event grant application related to this, but do express your interest now if this is something you may like to take part in.

Is there anyone volunteering to take this forward? We can offer financial support and the loan of equipment. Jon

Hey all.
If you haven't seen it already, UK Wikimedians, and the chapter, will probably be interested in [1], a proposal to film, photograph, and talk to MEPs.
Having only had a brief glance over the email, it seems like a very credible opportunity that Wikimedia UK will want to support in spirit, if not in more concrete terms. I post an extract below.
I apologise if someone has already posted this, but I can't recall anything.
Best, Harry

"After contacting the European Parliament I was able to get their approval, the support by the parties and a date [to meet, photograph and film with MEPs in February]. ... [The 2014 European] elections are a great opportunity to raise awareness on our material we have in Wikipedia and on Commons. It is also an excellent opportunity to bring together volunteers in doing our core work together, maybe we can transfer the idea of Parliament Projects to other countries. Volunteers get the opportunity to learn from each other - the EP is a very challenging project, having more than 700 MEPs to be handled within a few days."
