[Wikimediauk-l] Open Street Map hack weekend
Hello everyone, I thought you might be interested to learn that OpenStreetMap is hosting a hack weekend in London on 30 November and 1 December. I know that many of you enjoy mapping so thought I'd share. Details of the event are on the OSM wiki at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/London/London_Hack_Weekend_Nov_2013 There's also an event page on Lanyrd - http://lanyrd.com/crxqm so if you'd like to go along please do register on one of those pages.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] What's on Norwegian TV tonight?
Starts 43:30. When you look at Jimmy Wales' earlier stuff, he really has improved. Much more dynamic, fluid and engaged with a nice variation of tone and pacing. In a random example from five years ago, a fair amount of "um" and "uh" in the first two minutes before he really gets going: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOEBoCn1G-4 Or from Wikimania 2005, quite nervous at the start: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHS9bf7g0M4 My point being that as trainers and advocates for Wikipedia, we should all get better with practice. Jimmy Wales might look like a "natural" now, but he didn't start out as one. Perhaps we should consider videoing our stuff more often, so that we can study ourselves in action and try to accelerate that learning process.
