Tom, there is a copy on the office wiki, and a copy was sent to each panel
member (Jon,Martin, and myself). It's not my place to share the contents with
you, but you can ask Jon or Martin if you feel strongly.
Having refreshed my memory, Midas' bid stated that the handouts they used
during the training sessions would be CC-By-SA. It will come as no surprise to
those who know me well that I can't lay my hands on the handouts at this
particular moment, but if anybody would like to see them, I have them somewhere.
The questionnaire I referred to in my previous email is the Honey and Mumford
Learning Styles questionnaire, which is copyrighted by a third party.

My understanding (the people to ask would be Martin and Jon, but this is my
understanding in the interim), is that there was one document - designed to
evaluate learning styles and divide participants into four categories - which
they used, but for which the copyright belonged to a third party.
I was under the impression that all the training materials themselves were to
be released under the CC-By-SA license.

Subject: [Wikimediauk-l] "open access ethos of Wikimedia UK"
Hi all,
I would like to know what other people understand as the "open access
ethos of Wikimedia UK". The reason I ask is that I have
been informed that
Midas - who are delivering the Training for Trainers programme - have been
arguing that as they chose to use a process which was not written for
WMUK, some of their material is not available under a CC license. They
have suggested that WMUK pay an additional fee which they are happy to
quote for.
As the initial tender specified "An agreement that the training materials
produced will be open access under a CC-BY-SA licence" I do not really
understand how Midas chose to use non CC material in the process for
delivering their course. At first glance it would seem that this is not in
compliance with the temrs of the tender.
I must admit that I find Open access and open content as being quite
fundamental to Wikipedia, the sister projects and WMUK. This is whaqt I
understand by "Supporting Free and Open Knowledge". I personally have a
strong commitment to developing "Open Educational
Resources" and was
particularly looking forward to the Eduwiki conference which has this as
one of its themes.
In this context, I don't really understand why WMUK is having difficulty
in making sure that its own training programme sits comfortably into the
CC framework. I would welcome any comments which would help explain this?
all the best
