Hi All,
For everyone coming to the
Speakerthon<http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2013/11/speakerthon-uploading-voice-samples-from-the-radio-4-archive-to-wikipedia>we're
co-organising with the BBC and members of the Wikimedia community on
Saturday (18th Jan), here are a few quick organisational links that will
help you prepare for the day and help us get as many voice snippets opened
up and on to Wikipedia as possible!

If you are planning to attend the event, the doors will open at 9:30am for
coffee and sign up, with introductory talks at 10:00. Broadcasting House is

closest tube station is Oxford Circus which is on the Bakerloo, Central and
Victoria lines and ~5 minutes walk up Regent Street (north).
Please bring a laptop and some headphones and we'll bring the sandwiches.
