Video opportunity
edit- For this meeting, a videographer will be present to record 1-3 minute videos of individual Wikipedians saying anything about their Wikipedia projects. Videos will be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and YouTube. With the time we have, anyone may present a video. Rehearse your talk before you come. You may share an experience, give a lesson, make a presentation, or say what you like. The audience might be anyone searching for videos of Wikipedians talking about Wikipedia. This will be an amateur effort.
