Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Friday March 20 Canberra brunch

As for a venue, I've heard good things about Milk and Honey (http://www.milkandhoney.net/milkandhoney/). I do apologise for being the one responsible for such an unsightly meeting time, but I'm actually going to Sydney that afternoon. I'm also excited to hear about contacts with these other organi

I've already touched base with the committee on this, but I'll spread the word a little further. Some of you may remember my attempts to contact people associated with the introduction of Wikipedia as a text for HSC English in NSW, and after some time I have received a response. A contact at the C

I'm organising another small weekend 'conference' on the last weekend in November and am using "Ursies" Ursula Hall at ANU but I believe that is probably the only weekend when the colleges will have free space for residential blow-ins, students don't leave until that Friday. Otherwise, the colleges

"What size" is one of the many questions we hope to answer with this get-together. I have my own ideas, Brianna and Liam have theirs (probably much more grounded in reality). In terms of scope I'm thinking Wiki community + organisations with related interests as the main targets, but I'm not 100% s

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Another smh special :-)

I've found in my dealings with him that he genuinely wants to understand our community and is fair. He fairly reported my responses on the two occasions he has spoken to me, has only published my words when he says he's going to publish, and I have sent him to a number of specific policy pages and

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Last chance - 'Backstage Pass' in Sydney this Friday

Hi all I have been called down to Melbourne to work for a week, starting tomorrow morning, so have to now pull out from Friday's excursion. Absolutely gutted I am missing out on this opportunity - I will take my name off the list on the Wiki event page. I hope someone can replace me at this late

Brianna and Cary have railroaded me into coming along. I'll see you tomorrow! (bah, have to wake up before 9) 2009/3/11 Liam Wyatt : > Ladies and Gentlemen! > > This is a final call for participants at the first “Backstage Pass” tour to > be held by Wikimedia Australia in Sydney THIS FRIDAY @ 10am

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Last chance - 'Backstage Pass' in Sydney this Friday

Well I look forward to seeing you there! Does that mean that Cary (and therefore the foundation office are aware of the event?) don't feel pressured to come along - like everything else in the wiki-verse you can't force people to be interested in something. So if it's not your cup of tea an
