Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Scotland/Edinburgh Photography Workshop

Chasing local contacts

 * The Broughton Spurtle are going to post an announcement this coming week, and mention the workshop in their next print edition.
 * I've contacted Fiona Myles of Central Library asking who is the best person to speak to in the council regarding venues.
 * Left notices on a couple of OpenStreetMap people's pages asking them to get involved.

Any other ideas? --Brian McNeil /talk 09:59, 10 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Have you contacted the local flickr groups? They've usually got a fairly robust local network of photographers - even if none of their participants are interested, they may be able to point you towards good places to advertise it. Andrew Gray (talk) 20:51, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Other publicity
Peter is working on a flier, and we've come up with the tagline: "Edinburgh The city you can photograph".

I've suggested this, as the headline, should be translated into Polish, Hindi and one other language (Gaelic?). --Brian McNeil /talk 09:59, 10 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Urdu or Punjabi might be a better bet than Hindi, from what I remember of Edinburgh demographics - poking around for some figures, this is national data and children are of course different in proportions from the adult population, but it's indicative.

Dates
Note that 3rd-5th August is the first weekend of the Fringe - affordable accomodation may prove limited. On the other hand, great opportunities for street photography! Andrew Gray (talk) 20:54, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, affordable accomodation will be nonexistent &mdash; unless you're 30-odd km outside the city. But, as andrew says, you could get some great "intangible cultural heritage" images - which is one of the things Museums Galleries Scotland is keen on getting documented. --Brian McNeil /talk 06:25, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
