Re: [Wikimediauk-l] University of Hertfordshire Wikipedia workshop 14 August 2012
Hi Daria, Happy to support this if you need some help from the office. Would also be a good chance to get out and meet some Wikimedians. Will pop in in my calendar tentatively. Thanks, Stevie On 28 June 2012 15:00, Daria Cybulska daria.cybul...@wikimedia.org.ukwrote: Dear all, University of Hertfordshire (Hatfield, Hertfordshire, AL10 9AB) has contacted Wikimedia UK with a request to have a Wikipedia training run for them on Tuesday 14 August, 10am-4pm. There is a group of staff at the University that would like to be introduced into the ways of editing Wikipedia. This will hopefully in the future lead to a further partnership between the University and Wikimedia UK. I have created a simple page with the details: http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/University_of_Hertfordshire_Wikipedia_workshop If you would like to run/help run this session, please do sign up on the page or let me know.

[Wikimediauk-l] Process for WMUK's 2013 annual plan?
Is there a plan in place for how WMUK is going to put together its 2013 annual plan? We need to start work on it very soon. I see on the agenda for this weekend's meeting that there is an item for discussing the five year plan (I'm glad that hasn't completely stalled), but given the delays with it I don't see that being finalised in time to base the 2013 plan on it. There is also an item for Draft budget against fundraising target and meeting the 5 year plan. but I'm not sure what that means. I think the natural place to start putting together an annual plan, especially in the absence of a long-term plan to base it on, is with a public call for ideas. If Sue's recommended timeline for the FDC [1] gets adopted (and I expect it will), then WMUK will need to submit its plan on 1 October. That's only 3 months away, so I suggest that call for ideas go out ASAP. 1. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Funds_Dissemination_Committee/Master_timeline ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Process for WMUK's 2013 annual plan?
Rest assured Tom the trustees have been looking at options and will of course share their thoughts with the community. The process requires several stages of thought before we get to a point where we can ask for suggestions but we are making excellent progress and will soon have lots to share.

As I said in my first mail ;-) But it does say Crown copyright and... not Crown Copyright or After Wikimania, I may give them a call to discuss and clarify.

Andy, we are very pally with Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales... I'm encouraging them to release 150 pics that are both in and out of copyright about copyright. They say they will release much more after this. I think they will listen to your argument. The experiment shound finish is 3 months.
