[Wikimediauk-l] Wikiconference UK 2013 - comments please

2012-10-16 Thread HJ Mitchell
The Conference Committee is seeking community input on the final decision for 
the location for the 2013 AGM. Two venues have been shortlisted - Lincoln 
College (in Lincoln) and The Lowry (Manchester).

I have set up https://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_UK_2013/Venue, which 
gives all the information about the two venues that can be published. Please 
have a look at it and offer your thoughts on the talk page - we have set aside 
two to three weeks for discussion. We will recommend a venue to the board in 
time for the next board meeting (17 November). In the event that there is no 
consensus, the Conference Committee will make the final decision, but we would 
prefer the decision to be made by the community.

Sincerely,
 

Harry Mitchell

What Tom said. Also, these meetups are often of interest to peopld further 
afield, and perhaps they might inspire somebody to set one up in their neck of 
the woods if there isn't one near them.

It is very difficult to accurately identify geographic locations
within the UK. IP addresses are generally assigned from an ISPs pool
which they use nationwide, so they just identify to wherever the ISP
is based.

Not the datacenter (first hop)?

I did find that one IP address said Bank, which is the registered off of 
BT (well St. Paul's).

Done.

(Still not sure if we should have this one national-level notice, or
if we should try much more targeted ones - London area, Cambridge
area, Manchester area, etc. Hmm.)
