A few opportunities are coming up for members who may be willing to speak on behalf of the
chapter in lunchtime meetings, conferences etc or as interviewees. We will sometimes, but
not always, be able to pay for travel and subsistence expenses.
This is a great way of helping the chapter spread the word about the things we do and it
also gives you good exposure in public speaking and raises your profile among media
circles.
If you are interested in volunteering for this, please could you email me the following
details:
- what experience you have in public speaking, if any
- what experience you have with Wikimedia projects, including any roles such as
administrator
- what is your availability (location/times)
- what kind of events you would like to help with
- how you would like to be contacted
I will be putting these details (minus the contact details) on the wiki at
uk.wikimedia.org/Speakers - if you want it to be kept confidential please let me know and
I will put it on
board.wikimedia.org/Speakers instead.
Alternatively please feel free to add yourself to the wiki directly.
Regards,
Andrew
