non-members (priority to members). ****

If you want to receive one of these free registrations, please contact
comm at wikimedia.org.au by Sunday 27 January. Please let us know if you are a
member (or not) and (briefly) why you are interested in attending in terms
of past or future involvement with libraries. We will give you a decision
by Tuesday 29 January. We will continue to accept requests after that date
if free registrations remain. ****

Travel funds. To assist in defraying any out-of-pocket expenses associated
with attending NLS, you may apply for up to $200 of reimbursement under our
Volunteer Support Program. ****

We would expect you to be able to attend all 3 days of the symposium and be
willing to network with other attendees conveying informed and positive
messages about free knowledge, Wikimedia projects and WMAU. ****

If you are just interested in the opportunity to hear/meet with Sue
Gardner, there is no need to register for NLS as there will be other free
opportunities during her ****Brisbane**** visit, including a meetup on
Monday 11 February evening (more information coming shortly) and this talk
