Hi Andy, I don't know the total, and we may not have finalised things yet as we are still recruiting from people who got involved at Wikimania and are now working out how to stay involved. The two I have personally signed up were both immediately after Wikimania. I assume you are interested in the whole Wikimania related spike, not just those we collared in the barbican? I can see that this is going to be of interest to both this list, especially the Mexico bid team, and of course the Wikimedia UK list. It would also be interesting to get feedback from earlier wikimania teams as to what worked for them. As well as many regulars, Wikimania 2014 attracted a large and enthusiastic group of additional volunteers who we have an opportunity to try and engage with. Apparently most of them were in a particular Facebook group and we have already reached out to them there with invitations to both an Editathon and a campus ambassador training session. We will be doing more plugs there for WLM etc, any experience from previous wikimanias or indeed Facebook campaigners gratefully received. Regards Jonathan Cardy (WMUK)

I should've sent this on my last email, but I apparently forgot: 1. What kind of responsibilities and obligations does one have as a WMUK member? 2. Can I sign up? What are the requirements? Who should I contact about it? On Thu, Aug 14, 2014 at 3:38 AM, Naureen <msnora(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Andres, These are questions we get asked a fair bit. The answers are on our FAQ page, at https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Volunteers_-_Frequently_Asked_Questions - it's a little complicated, but essentially members can vote to elect the board of Wikimedia UK, and they act to hold trustees to account. There are a few hundred members of Wikimedia UK at the moment. Membership is open to all; you do not have to live in the UK, be over a certain age or be editors of any of the Wikimedia Foundation projects. All we ask is that members agree to support our Objects (https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Objects#Objects) and not to bring Wikimedia UK into disrepute. In terms of time, membership takes up maybe an hour or two per year - although it can take up more if you want to be more active. You can join at https://donate.wikimedia.org.uk/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=4 - let katie.chan(a)wikimedia.org.uk know if you have any private questions!

I often get asked a very different question: What are the benefits of paying to join WMUK? Answer: I think members have priority when applying for expenses-paid travel on official Wikimedia duties. (See "Microgrants".) It's a great deal if you want to volunteer a lot of your time without volunteering all your money! On 14 Aug 2014 09:39, "Naureen" <msnora(a)gmail.com> wrote:
