 Now that we have our bank account open, we are putting the finishing touches 
 to the agenda for the AGM. We have previous talked about inviting an 
 interesting speaker/s to pull the crowds, as it were, and inspire our 
 activities for the year ahead.

 What are you ideas for people you'd like to hear? Ideas previously discussed 
 include:

 - Prominent open source community people - Linux/Creative Commons?
 - Other people who have set up successful chapters - e.g. Germany, 
 Netherlands, Switzerland
 - People involved in Wikimedia things here - e.g. David on media relations or 
 Andrew on Wikipedia for Schools

Things that can be organised quickly! The conference idea will start
properly next year. If you can find someone that wants to give a short
talk, it would be nice to have something a little less dry than voting
on rather technical resolutions! If you want to find someone quickly,
it's probably best to look within the Wikimedia community.

How about someone affiliated with the Open Knowledge Foundation such
as Rufus Pollock? Would be interesting to hear about the wider open
knowledge movement in the UK.
