Talk:GLAM-WIKI 2010

Very interesting but can't go.

How will the event be disseminated, please?

Yes, it would be interesting to know if there are plans to release any videos of presentations on Commons (on the assumption that they would be respectable quality; often the problem is that audience coughs and chatter gets recorded better than the speaker)? Fæ 11:46, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

We're working on recording the talks, but can't promise anything just yet... Mike Peel 08:11, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Hopefully we'll get the keynote events filmed - but it's proving difficult to get a happy medium between quality and cost. Yes, if we do manage to get them recorded then we'll put them on Commons with an appropriate license. Otherwise, the twitter tag for the day will be #GLAMWIKI.

• How do you register? I click on the register button and it just takes me to details of the button image. Andrew Davidson 07:23, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Clicking on the register button should take you to http://glamwikiuk.eventbrite.com/ - you can register there. It works OK for me (Firefox on a Mac) - can I ask which browser you're using? Thanks. Mike Peel 08:11, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

• Thanks for the link. I'm using Chrome. Andrew Davidson 09:46, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Button works fine for me in Chrome - btw assume there's no problem with attending just Friday evening and the Saturday? The Land 16:25, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

I've tested in Safari and Firefox and it worked... is this still a problem for you?

Technically there is only one registration fee - for the whole event. However, for Wikimedians I think we'd be cool if you just clicked on the "Registered attendee of MCG conference" button (which is half price and indicates that it is only for the 2nd day). How does that sound? Witty lama 04:51, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Timetable

I can't seem to find the full timetable of the event - is there one somewhere? I've got lectures in Cambridge until 1pm Friday (although I can skive all of them if I'm really desperate), after that I'm free for the whole event. --Deryck Chan 18:04, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

PS. the glamwiki.org link on http://glamwikiuk.eventbrite.com/ is still pointing to wikimedia.org.au . --Deryck Chan 18:12, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for spotting the borked link - fixed.

I'm trying to put up the schedule now. It's subject to change but what IS fixed for Friday morning is Cory Doctorow's keynote. Other things on the Friday morning are mainly pitched at bringing the GLAM sector up to speed on things like cc-by-sa. Hope that helps. Witty lama 04:25, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Ok - the schedule is up now. Witty lama 06:46, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Liam! Just registered. I'll definitely come for that Friday evening and Saturday. --Deryck Chan 16:25, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Eventbrite

It may just be a co-incidence but I very rarely give out my mobile number and after using Eventbrite to register for this event I received a fake message about claiming for accident insurance. Anyone else? Fæ 14:18, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Was it an automated call? If so - I received one too, without registering for the event. I think it's more probable that a phone spammer correctly guessed your mobile number than that Eventbrite's database is compromised. The Land 19:38, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Odd. The mobile phone number field is not a "required" field. But even if it was, I would be surprised if this is something that has a direct relationship with the eventbrite system - more likely just a coincidence. There was nothing done at the Wikimedia end to publish the personal details of attendees I can assure you. Witty lama 05:55, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
