Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Paid editing by Roger Bamkin
I believe the matter was discussed at Board level when Roger, iirc at the time WMUK Chair, took up consulting with the Monmouth Council and he resigned from the post of Chair as a result of this assignment. Can a Board Member please shed more light on this?

Paid work as Trustee is not against Charity Commission rules. We agreed that previously. But to take on Monothopedia and Gib-Pedia? And stay on as a Trustee? It was noted that he sits out of discussions on such projects. Time to sit out. For good, Roger? And carry on the good work (but not as a Trustee)?

Any way we can help remotely? Kind Regards, Pranav In a month or so when the jobspec is public you may want to ensure it is widely blogged (esp. on Scottish related culture forums) as there may be many people with relevant Scottish cultural awareness that may not live in the UK currently that might be interested in applying for the 6 month post. Brian has some ideas for an event on 30/9 or 1/10 and I am hoping for e-volunteering opportunities to help, but we are still negotiating at the moment. In the meantime, we could do with some comments or advice on our teeshirt design. These will be used at our Wikimeet and we will probably arrange a print run next week, so there is time for an alternative design to be considered if anyone wants to have a crack at it. See Brian's current proposed version at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_in_Scotland-4.5%22.png The design is great - any chance of having the rampant lion in the background to give a more Scottish feel?

As the budget holder for the coordinator and the point of contact for MGS, I am open to being quizzed at the Wikimeet about the new role based in Edinburgh, the plans we have with MGS and what our joint expected outcomes will be. MGS have been working on a jobspec for the role and would hope to be able to share and discuss the details of that at the Wikimeet too. The job will be for 6-months (terms negotiable, though the initial preference was for a full time position) and based at the MGS offices in Edinburgh. As the title implies this is to help coordinate the logistics of the GLAM programme in Scotland using MGS's 350+ member organizations (see link) as well as vitalizing Scotland's Wikimedian culture in general such as Wiki-meets and other outreach activities.
