1) I am coming to Vancouver end of April and am hoping we can
arrange a get together. Wondering what time and which day
would be best ( I am thinking the 27th in the evening ). Also
where should we meet? Depending on how many people who are
interested we could either meet in a class room at UBC or at a
restaurant.
2) Membership drive: As we are now officially incorporated and
hopefully will soon be an official chapter we need to prepare
for our launch and a membership drive. 1600 Wiki editors list
themselves as Canadians here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Canadian_Wikipedians
A 150 have added themselves on meta http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Canada/Participants
WRT the process Alan Walker is working on a website which will
take online registration. We have been thinking a nominal fee
of $ 5 or 10 dollars to cover mailing and stationary costs
plus some web hosting. We are in the process of setting up a
bank account for Wiki Canada. This will take another couple
weeks yet as the bank needs to mail the paper work out to the
directors. Thus official registration will not begin until
after this is accomplished.
3) First major project: I have been thinking that our first
major project should be attempting to get Wiki student / staff
groups going at Universities. Do others have interest in this?
Other suggestions for initial projects?
