Hi Mike,
this all sounds good to me. I think I could attend the afternoon part
of the IoP workshop and could help out with articles related to
biophysics, open access or open science.
As for your solo11 session, I saw that you had planned for Sci 3.0
involvement - what did you have in mind there? Have discussed this
with Mark, and we see two main areas that could fit:
http://figshare.com/ and
http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:OpenScientist/Open_grant_writing_-_Encyclopaedia_of_original_research
(a follow-up on http://www.science3point0.com/coaspedia/ ). I could
also offer thoughts on citing versioned sources (as per
http://okcon.org/2011/programme/citing-versioned-sources ) and of
course on the Wikimedian in Residence projects.
As for others to invite, there would be the usual Open Notebook
Science suspects (cf.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Notebook_Science#Active ), most of
which use wikis (Carl Boettiger switched from OpenWetWare to Wordpress
some months ago, which may be worth some discussion). It could also be
interesting to have someone from
https://github.com/ehec-outbreak-crowdsourced/BGI-data-analysis/wiki
(e.g. Mark Pallen from Birmingham, quoted in
http://www.nature.com/news/2011/110721/full/news.2011.430.html ).
Thanks and cheers,
Daniel

Hi Tom, Daniel, all,
There are already plans afoot here. :-) On the day before the conference,
Martin Poulter's organising a Wikipedia Workshop for the Institute of Physics
(which has obvious overlaps in terms of audience with this conference):
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Physics_Workshop
and during the conference itself, Henry Scowcroft of Cancer Research UK is
organising a session on How are wikis being used to carry out and
communicate science? which I'm involved in - suggestions of people/groups to
involve in that session would be most welcome. There's also a couple of other
related elements in the works.
I'm mostly viewing this as an outreach activity, encouraging people to join
in editing, rather than something that's community-focused (which editathons
tend to be).
Thanks,
Mike
P.S. this follows on from WMUK's involvement in Science Online London 2009,
where I gave a panel presentation on Wikipedia.

I've just been talking to Daniel Mietchen who is a Wikimedian in
Residence for Open Science. This position has just been profiled on
the Wikimedia blog, [1] and will be discussed in next week's Signpost.
He has suggested that Wikimedia UK could perhaps have an editathon or
event around the Science Online conference in September in London.
In addition people may want to attend the event to represent Wikimedia UK.
