Gerald Shields, inspired by Minerva, seeks to improve 2014 Wiki Conference USA and to improve culture.

Dear Volunteer Committee: I am submitting my statement of interest to be a the official still photogpher of the 2014 Wiki Conference USA. Please see my user page and my user info box for details about me.

I already volunteered my time and skills be the official still photographer for 2014 Wiki Conference USA but I have not heard anything back yet.

I am a member of several Wiki Projects, such as The Wikipedia Library, Women's History, Taxation, and Open Knowledge Foundation. I created the article the Smithsonian Gardens. I am an employee of the US Department of the Treasury. I am not afraid of using my real name to give credence to my edits and I stand behind my edits.

I was interviewed by the New York Times for my work with Wikipedia on feminism and North Korea.

Currently, I am the Wikimedia DC event promotion coordinator and have taken an active part in numerous Wiki events. Some of my Wiki-inspired photographs have been used in US National Archives promotion material, London events, Wikimedia DC promotions on Twitter, Smithsonian Institute promotion material Secretary Presents E-book on Future of Museums near the end of the video, and events where “the Board wears nice clothing.”

If you need more information and a formal CV, please feel free to contact me at my user talk page on the English language Wikipedia.
