Clever idea Andy, lets hope it becomes popular
Maybe people could leave a voice sample, a picture? and
*the option of having any of their remaining intellectual property rights
to be given to the world in the event of their death. - ie no 70 years of
waiting for a useful but valueless orphan image

Is their a lawyer who thinks this could be done? I was hoping an idea like
this might encourage people to rethink some the idea of slapping copyright
messages on your holiday snaps. Sorry of thats a bit off subject

How can the UK chapter support the project I started:
<

asking the subjects of Wikipedia articles to record a 10-second sample
of their speaking voice, for use on those articles?
An example script is "Hello, my name is [name]. I was born in [place]
and I have been [job or position] since [year]".
So far, the participants:

include Alice Arnold, Sue Black, Quentin Cooper, Corrie Corfield, Cory
Doctorow, Jack Schofield, Bill Thompson and Dave Winer; and we've just
had our first recording in French - but we need many more.
Of course, this isn't limited to article subjects, and it would be a
good idea if board members and chapter staff would consider adding
their voices, so they can be identified in conference calls and
recorded meetings.
