I know of 1 developer in the UK, who is currently in Berlin, and I'd
hope to have commit by then. One thing I have noticed, is that a lot of
the developers there, are WMF staff/contractors from all over the place
that have flown in, so it'd be interesting to see what the deal is with
that... (I know Tim Starling, the release manager has probably flown in
from Australia). It'd also be chance for British Wikimedians to talk to
the developers, share some opinions face to face, and for people to do
talks on general WM-UK stuff if they wanted to...

A hackathon in the uk would be great. My main worry
with it would be having enough developers turn up at it, though. There are a lot of German
mediawiki developers, which means that the events in Berlin are always successful, but
there are a lot fewer devs in the uk. So I suspect the main focus of at least the first
hackathon would be introducing people to the code - which then needs a cadre of current
developers to lead, teach and assist as they make their first commits.
I'd love to hear thoughts from others about this - particularly from any devs on this
list.
Thanks,
Mike

Hm, I think we should throw a hackathon, I've
been watching the talks at
the one in Berlin so far, and its quite interesting. I'd show up and
would help with some things (not a member of WM-UK though), but its an
idea, anyway...

Hi Lewis
Answer is 'yes'
The next year's events are starting to be discussed now and input is warmly
welcome.
Attached link is a place to keep an eye on as it will show events as they
begin to happen. Do get involved if you can, it would be great to meet up
with you at one.
Best
Steve

Hi,
I'm not a member of Wikimedia UK (because I can never find the money
when I think about joining), but I've noticed a lot of the events are
university things or museum stuff, I was wondering, are there any other
types of events, for example, I know the Dutch/German chapters run or
host the occasional Hack-a-Thon or meetups at other coding related
events. Do we do anything other than the GLAM or whatever it is?
