The LCA city is not always appropriate for a WM-AU meetup due to us being of a smaller size. eg. Hobart, Cairns, Darwin, NZ, possibly Perth. Workaround - we decide our own venue in those particular years. Or we could use it as a chance to boost our numbers in that particular location. Good point, I guess it depends what format the meetup takes (meetup, conference, open day, etc.) - Are we going to LCA Wellington next year (Jan 2010) anyway? We could assist WM-NZ with their formation. we? kk first we = Wikimedians who went to LCA this year, particularly those who helped at the open day - and of course anyone else interested. second we = WM-AU as a whole.

It takes the decision making out of our hands - less process/policy/bickering I think I have to disagree on this one, since that would be piggybacking far too much. I see making a joint conference with LCA more as a good start to begin learning how to do these ourselves, rather than just leaving it to them. Perhaps I could have worded that better - I don't mean we become subordinate to what Linux Australia says, I just mean that we are a small organisation with limited resources - if someone throws up a city name and we all go ok, then that is fine - but if there are competing cities who want it, then we have to decide who gets it, decide criteria on which the decision will be made, decide who will compare the bids and make the final choice - a lot of bureaucracy in it. OTOH, if Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide all want to host the 2012 meetup, and if we know that (say) Adelaide is hosting LCA in the third week of January 2012, then it is a quick, easy decision to say - ok, Wikimedia annual meetup will be in Adelaide on the weekend before/after LCA. .. and to re-iterate what I said in my previous email, the format of the gathering will make a big difference - meetup/conference/etc. Regards, Charles ___ Wikimediaau-l mailing list Wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l

And more specifically, are we able to place any interviews with Wikimedia members under a Creative Commons license (with the interviewee's permission)? Or does a joint copyright need to be a precondition of the interview? Generally it is the publisher who holds copyright and not the interviewee. Might be worth looking into for future. I know Free Culture advocates often place their interviews under CC, but I'm not sure of the logistics/legal details of it. I think we could look at a dual-copyright agreement for any interviews with WMA.
