Dear Asaf, head of Global South Relationships of Wikimedia Foundation

Now, we are in talk to hold a Wiki Academy in Seoul, Korea. It's not
finalized to set a date, but tentatively we are going to have the event late
October. Mr. Liam Wyatt is a speaker we need exactly. In addition to
GLAM-WIKI speaker, we also need to a speaker to talk on Wikipedia editing in
university or education sector.

Public data sharing and Creative Commons Movement are getting popular and
this year Korean government started its public data sharing program at
www.data.go.kr. I hope his coming and speaking could bring us some more
media attention to Wikipedia and Free Culture Movement and he could visit
some related institutions to give new perspectives.

Would you forward this mail to Mr. Wyatt. I think we don't need him just for
speaking but we need his expertise on content sharing and inter
institutional relationship to improve Wikipedia. I would like to know
his availability on late October. Our first candidate date is Oct. 22.

Best regards
Cheol
