[Wikimediauk-l] Info: Proposed date for GLAMwiki conference // 12-14 April 2013
Hi, I have confirmed the British Library conference center for Friday 12th April to Sunday 14th April 2013. They have kindly offered to host us for our proposed international GLAMwiki conference for free and the venue is suitable for up to 255 attendees. If you would like to support and prepare for the GLAMwiki conference and are interested in sharing GLAM best practice with like-minded Wikimedians, please register now for GLAMcamp on Saturday 15th September to Sunday 16th September, details and registration at https://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAMcamp_London/September_2012. We are expecting to host around 40 GLAMmers.

[Wikimediauk-l] Training coffee morning 12 August
I'm running another coffee morning, i.e. informal discussion session about training issues. This one will precede the London meetup on Sunday 12 August, and will be in the same place, Penderel's Oak pub in Holborn (http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/penderels-oak/). I'll get a train that will allow me to be there by 11 am. All are welcome, to discuss current and future training. I'll hang around during the meetup. But it does tend to get noisier, which is why it seems worth setting aside a couple of hours before the meetup itself starts.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Training coffee morning 12 August
Hi Charles, I won't be able to make the 12th - it's the first free weekend I've had for a month or so, and I've sworn off going into London! - but I will be around in Cambridge working from home on Friday. Would you be free for a quick coffee sometime in the afternoon? - Andrew.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] A message from Wikimedia UK
Because the blog post response to The Daily Telegraph article wrote that
“The Board is united in the view that this decision does not affect his
role as a Trustee of the charity.
Then again my conclusion was only an inference based on a sequence of
events. I take it you still stand by that comment?

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] On being the Chair.
It is my understanding that the Chair is one of many on a board of Trustees. Yes, this is the case. The Chair is the Chair of the Board of Trustees and, if you look in our constitution, you will see that the post actually has very few powers or responsibilities except chairing board meetings. The current issue is Fae. The last time I started to rant, it was about Roger Bamkin, and Monmouthpedia. In the latter case, he stood down as Chair for discussions about Monmouthpedia. For me, that does not cut the mustard. As a Trustee, there are very strict rules about gaining financially from projects which are run under the umbrella of a charity. I am informed no rules have been broken. All trustees record any relevant interests in public and recuse themselves from discussions where there are any conflicts of interest. This is in line with Charity Commission guidance. I am not sure there is any more to say on the matter.

[Wikimediauk-l] Plaques
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-19153243 Just under half of the blue plaques currently shortlisted to go up in London are being scrapped due to funding cuts. Beatles manager Brian Epstein and Monty Python's Graham Chapman are among those who will miss out. The scheme sees commemorative plaques attached to residences that famous personalities have lived in. English Heritage, which runs the scheme, said the cull was due to a 32% cut in government funding. Perhaps it would be prudent for WMUK to step in, and fund some QRpedia plaques?

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] On being the Chair.
For what it's worth, I was informed of the EGM on Thursday night, and woke up the next morning to see that Ashley had stepped down. I incorrectly inferred that his action was a response to and reflected the wish of the EGM. I didn't immediately grasp that he remained on the board.
