Hi,
The BBC have been in contact with us at Wikimedia UK about the
possibility of them getting access to some Wikimania footage. I quote:
"We are expecting to film with Jimmy Wales later in the year, but we
were really hoping to film at Wikimania. Unfortunately, due to
schedules, we simply can't get a crew to the event. And so, it occurred
to us that, rather than lose this quintessentially Wikipedian moment,
we could - in the spirit of our shared open and collaborative goals -
ask some of the attending Wikipedians to shoot some footage for us, for
release on an open platform (Kultura) to allow all parties to use the
footage under creative commons."
They ask interested parties to get in contact either via their web form
here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/digitalrevolution/contactus.shtml or via
me/other WMUK board members. (E-mail me and I'll forward it on to them,
or alternatively, if you're in the UK email me and I can give you the
organiser's phone number.)
Thanks,
Tom

It would be nice if there was the offer of some costs (e.g. airfare or
conference registration), surely?
