Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Invitation to Chapters and Photographers for the European Parliament Project 2014
Hello everyone, I've added this to the water cooler on the UK wiki now. It's at https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Water_cooler#Invitation_to_Chapters_and_Photographers_for_the_European_Parliament_Project_2014 Wikimedia UK is certainly happy to consider funding someone's expenses and offering a loan of equipment to use on the project.You can either email me directly or comment on the water cooler. I think this is a very worthwhile project and something the chapter is keen to support. Given the short time between now and the project, it's best if we can get things moving pretty quickly.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Invitation to Chapters and Photographers for the European Parliament Project 2014
Just to note that I've already communicated the possibility of volunteer support and equipment loan to the organiser. Waiting for the decision from the WMF on the project & event grant application related to this, but do express your interest now if this is something you may like to take part in.

Is there anyone volunteering to take this forward? We can offer financial support and the loan of equipment.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Invitation to Chapters and Photographers for the European Parliament Project 2014
Quoting Harry Burt : Hey all. If you haven't seen it already, UK Wikimedians, and the chapter, will probably be interested in [1], a proposal to film, photograph, and talk to MEPs. Having only had a brief glance over the email, it seems like a very credible opportunity that Wikimedia UK will want to support in spirit, if not in more concrete terms. I post an extract below. I apologise if someone has already posted this, but I can't recall anything. Have you had much/any takeup on this, Harry? Were I still living in Belgium, I'd be along grabbing whatever A/V I could, and sniping about Belgian laws on Interior Ministry rules on press credentials. Hopefully, you can persuade some of the folks pushing for the Belgian chapter I was told could never happen, to happen, to go do this. But now I live in Edinburgh, it's the Scottish Parliament I want access to. Aff-Comm has recognised The Wikinewsie Group (TWG), but having that running as an NGO will take time. The IMMI is why TWG is aiming for recognition and registration in Iceland, but I'd rather see a Yes vote next year see Scotland take similar press-freedom measures. Wedging a 'foot in the door' with help from WM-UK has to be worthwhile.
