G'day all :-)
I mentioned in a previous post (
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2009-November/056092.html)
that I was personally interested in getting some external advice from
Volunteering Australia (
http://www.volunteeringaustralia.org/html/s01_home/home.asp ) about good
practice, and learning a bit more about how other large volunteer
organisations manage things - I'm going to be popping in to Volunteering
Australia in the next couple of weeks or so to have a meet and greet sort of
chat - I've been very clear that I'm just a volunteer who enjoys
contributing to wikimedia projects, and I hope they may be able to offer
some interesting ideas, as well as answer a few questions I've got - I've
copied Jay from the foundation in on this too, as well as the australian
chapter list really just to let folk know :-)
Having chatted about this a little with Witty Lama following the aussie
chapter AGM, I'm pleased that he's coming along too - I'll update this
thread following the chat with any interesting news or ideas :-)
cheers,
Peter,
PM.
