Welcome to the first issue of Open Access, a revived Wikimedia UK newsletter reporting on
the activities of the UK chapter, members and supporters and on all matters of interest to
them. This month, we have a number of dates for your diary for events celebrating
Wikipedia's 10th birthday; features on Yeonpyeong and Visual Arts on Wikipedia; and
short summaries of the last Cambridge meet-up, a talk given to the Chartered Institute of
Public Relations, and our Microgrants.
Next month, we'll be doing a round-up of recent GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives
and Museums) activity - including the GLAM-WIKI conference that took place at the British
Museum last November.
As a Chapter we want members to get involved as this is your newsletter. We want to learn
about our members and what they are working on. We want to hear what you think, learn
about your ideas on how to improve things for all, or otherwise listen to what you think
about the topics covered here. You can leave general comments at the bottom of the wiki
page, or send them to the editor (Charles Matthews, on editor(a)wikimedia.org.uk).
Follow Wikimedia UK also on
