Sorry if this is edging to off topic, but I know many of you are in or
near London, and I've been asked to forward this invite from our
Imperial College Wikimedia society.

Hi Jonathan,
Further to our conversations, can I ask that you send the below e-mail
to the academic mailing list/anyone else you can think of who might be
interested.
The London Wikipedia Academy is a mini-conference aimed at starting a
conversation between academics and Wikipedians in London, moving from
ethereal opinions to organised, evidence based, informed discussions.
There will be a number of exciting speakers all engaging in a vital
conversation for modern higher education.
Students, librarians and academics from across London have been
invited by the first official student Wikipedia society in the UK,
Wikipedians at Imperial College, to meet at their South Kensington
campus April 13th 545-8pm.
This unique and original event promises to allow those pro and anti
Wikipedia to discuss the key issues around its inevitable use by staff
and academics, on every topic that is taught at higher education
institutions in the capital.
Please register your interest by adding your name or emailing the
address at the bottom of this webpage:
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/London_Wikipedia_Academy
We hope to see you there!
Wikipedians at Imperial College

Hello! Hola!
Just to inform that I had been invited by Amical Viquipedia (an association linked to Cat Wik) to do a presentation of the Research Committe goals at a panel on Research and Wikipedia at the Open University of Catalonia next Marc 15th. The panel is part of the week of celebrations of the Wikipedia and Viquipedia 10 anniversary. More on the event here: http://www.viquimedia.cat/viqui/Apunt:Recerca_sobre_Viquip%C3%A8dia,_taula_…
I will report back if any good suggestion or relevant comment emerge.
Cheers! Mayo

Hola!
I hope that you are fine.
I did my homework, so here you have a suggestion of template for the Directory of research projects (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template_for_research_projects), issue to be discussed at out next chat meeting (Feb 25).
However, to me it remains several aspects to be defined before hands. That is:
* The scope of the Research Projects directory: Now the scope is defined as: "This is the canonical directory of Wikimedia research projects that are underway or have recently been completed. Research projects are documented on many different wikis, but should all be findable through this page. To qualify for inclusion in this list, a project should be significant in scope and ethical in nature (according to the guidelines [to be] developed by the Research Committee)." It remains still the need to define the goals of the Research Project Directory and why it makes sense to create it (i.e the problematics linked to research projects and how this research project directory can help to overcome them, etc).
* The need to define the criteria for inclusion (the above mentioned guidelines) and who or with which process a research project might pass the "test" of fullfilling the guidelines.
"Chat" you on Friday! Mayo

Subject: [RCom-l] The Subject Recruitment Approvals Group moved to meta
Hey folks,
As part of my work in the Subject Recruitment Area of Interest, I've converted the enwp version of the Subject Recruitment Approvals Group to meta and dropped the language about the SubjectRecruitmentBot.
See the page here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Subject_Recruitment_Approvals_Group
I'd like to talk about this approach to managing recruitment request to Wikimedia project users at our next meeting so please have a look before then.
Thanks,

Dear all,
I received an expression of interest from the chairs of WebSci '11 (an ACM conference held in Koblenz on June 14-17, 2011 [1]) as a possible venue to host an RCom-sponsored panel. They would be happy to invite us to discuss major research challenges that Wikipedia is facing after its 10th anniversary. I think this would make a great opportunity to reach out to a broader research community than WikiSym/Wikimania and to engage a discussion on areas the committee is specifically interested in prioritising.
The organisers asked me to come back to them shortly with an overview of possible topics for the panel: your input on this is very welcome. Please let me know if you would be interested in attending, so I can start putting together a proposal. If we get the green light we can then discuss the actual contents during the next RCom meeting.
Best,
Dario
