The "Speakerthon" event is in progress at New Broadcasting House in London:

We've already added sound files to the (English) Wikipedia articles on Tim Berners-Lee, Agnetha Fältskog, Stanley Johnson and Adrian Lester, with many more uploaded and awaiting templating:

Volunteers are beavering away, finding more sound clips to upload.
The results are delightful, highly evocative. Congratulations to everyone working on these.

Everything is gong well. If people want to help from home (or the pub), then the files in:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:BBC_voice_samples
need to be categorised, and inserted into articles, as described at

Fantastic work, well done!
What licence will they be released under? (I see they're on Commons with status "OTRS pending" ...)

I'm assuming the pending is for final validation (but Andy will know...)
The earliest samples released were CC-BY, which seems to be the most likely answer:

I've just approved a related file, but can't see either a general or specific request about these in OTRS permissions yet. If someone is working on these and would like a quick turn around, feel free to send me an email prompt.

Oops, found it. Handling...

Already being handled by someone else and it looks like they'll be finished shortly. Too many OTRS volunteers. :-)
Ticket is 2013111310011767.
