It's not my decision, but I would very much support the BBC giving a presentation at the AGM. There has been talk of trying to find someone to give a talk in order to break up the monotony of the official business we need to get through, and I think someone from the BBC could fill that role perfectly. A presentation from you followed by an open floor discussion could be extremely productive. ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

[Wikimediauk-l] BBC and Wikipedia - a thought
Hi everyone, This is my first post here. I've been responsible for some discussion at the BBC about a possible contribution to the Wikipedia project from the BBC - I think it's come up on the list too. There's no hard proposal or plan, just an ongoing discussion of the appropriate relationship of a national public service content creator and the leading free knowledge source on the net. There's been some discussion of a 'BBC Wikipedia Club' for wannabe contributors/editors who work at the BBC, about more formally gifting content to Wikipedia and - more ambitiously - about hiring a 'Social Media Editor' to manage the corporation's relationship with Wikipedia and other open media sources. Question: would it be appropriate for one or more BBC people with an interest in collaboration to come along to the AGM? If so, should we bring a formal contribution or just sit quietly at the back? If not, is there a more appropriate forum we could get involved with?
