[Wikimediauk-l] Interested in a potential hook-up with a sci-fi film festival?

Hello everyone, I'm aware that asking this question here may just cause my inbox to melt... I recently met with the organiser of a sci-fi film festival. As a part of the festival they have a big convention which is, I think, being held at the ExCel arena this year in London. It's early days but

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Interested in a potential hook-up with a sci-fi film festival?

This would be a good event to run a stall or wikilounge, perhaps with a live display of photos uploaded to Commons of the event. The English Wikipedia tends to have the topic well covered, though quality portraits are hard to get or artworks released. I follow sf authors and so would be

We have a page for this onhttps://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Science_Fiction_Worldcon_in_London._August_14_to_18,_2014the Wikimania website, I suggest people who are interested go there and flesh that page out. The 14th to 18th August is very much part of the fringe of Wikimania and there

[Wikimediauk-l] Rights in church bell ringing

I've raised a question on Commons, about performers; ruiights in reoding of church bells: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#Church_bells I'm no expert, but AIUI, the UK style of bell ringing is different from that elsewhere in the world. I hope our ability to upload

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Interested in a potential hook-up with a sci-fi film festival?

Not the same conference, alas. But I will invite the festival organiser along to Wikimania. It will give him a sense of the kind of things that can be arranged. It's good to see so much interest in this. Once I have some more details I'll invite the festival organiser in for a coffee and to meet

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Rights in church bell ringing

I'm clearly no expert on copyright but I wonder if the rights issue would be the same as an orchestra. Would you need to get approval from each musician in an orchestra to use a recording of their performance? Stevie On 19 March 2014 14:43, Andy Mabbett a...@pigsonthewing.org.uk wrote: I've

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Rights in church bell ringing

In some ways professionals are easier because they will have thought about IP issues and have a contract which means you negotiate with their manager rather than them individually. But on the downside they usually expect to be paid. I know that some bell ringers do get appearance fees, I used to

Hi Stevie, I'm already in discussion with somebody involved with the convention. We haven't got anything firm yet (there was going to be more conversation at the Coventry meetup on the 30th), so unless you've already made some headway, perhaps we should merge the conversations?    Harry
