30 August 2010

The Wikimedia Foundation is looking for experienced Wikipedia editors - free airline fare, hotel, and other living expenses! - to spend three days in San Francisco at the end of September, figuring out how to help the Wikipedia community (and other Foundation projects) to create more how-to screencasts. You don't have to have experience creating screencasts to be considered - see here for the application information. (Deadline is August 30th Wednesday, September 1.) -- John Broughton (♫♫) 20:27, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
