Hi,
While I am at the Wikimedia conference in Milan, meeting a wide selection of Wikimedians from around the globe, I would love to use the opportunity to start recording a few short interviews with LGBT/queer/gay contributors about their experiences on our projects.
I am happy to keep your identity confidential, though I would like to be free to publish transcripts after they are reviewed with you and anything you are no longer happy with is deleted.
If you would like to meet up with me for a short chat during the conference, please do either track me down or send me an email and we will try to coordinate a time.
For those not at Milan, I would love to chat. Drop me an email and perhaps we can arrange a Skype call and pen a few notes together on etherpad at some point.
If I can get a few interviews on record, I would like to eventually write a short piece for Wikinews about what the culture on different Wikimedia projects feels like for both open LGBT contributors or those that prefer to keep their sexual orientation (or gender) a secret. There's no hurry, I'm not a fast article writer. :-D
