[Wikimediaau-l] English Teachers' Association presentation

[Craig Franklin]

Does this mean I should contact Education Queensland and offer my services 
as a speaker?  I'd rather not lecture to children, but maybe talking to some 
teachers might help clear up some of the misunderstandings about the project 
that seem to be endemic in EQ.  Or would I need to be accredited by WM-au 
before I could count as a "volunteer guest"?
