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

Actually, I've looked at this a bit more deeply and it appears it could be the same conference after all. It sounds like lots of people already have this in hand. To avoid duplication then, I'll leave it with you and concentrate on the film festival later in the year. Thank you, Stevie On 20 Ma

I posted that page on the wikimania wiki so it is independent of your contact. The August SciFi conference at ExCel is Loncon3 - the World Science Fiction convention. It is the weekend after Wikimania. It is very well attended by authors so would be a good place to gather voice intros and even int

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 Mitchel

Sounds sensible, but before we do that, let's make sure we're talking about the same event... On 19 March 2014 15:59, HJ Mitchell wrote: > 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 conversa

Yes - I'm not sure where Wikimania came in to the conversation! It's not anything to do with Wikimania! On 19 March 2014 14:52, Jonathan Cardy wrote: > Attending the convention in August is part of the fringe and I have added > it as such, but I think that rather implies we might consider having

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

Attending the convention in August is part of the fringe and I have added it as such, but I think that rather implies we might consider having a stall or something there? The Film festival is so long after Wikimania that I would treat it as a WMUK event outside of Wikimania Jonathan Cardy GLAM (G

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 s

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 interested

[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
