-The company paperwork has been filed with SE as a General Partner and SB, EE, RO, and OM as limited partners. As soon as the company is registered we can obtain a bank account.

Edit-a-thons

-RO is attending Ambassador training before Wikimainia-similar to Train the Trainer-so she should be able to train at events.

-Interest in the Ada Lovelace event is higher that initially expected-RO is looking to move it to a larger venue.

-The group has been invited to give a talk at the WWI event at Collins Barracks on 25 Nov-EE has volunteered to give the talk. Collins Barracks has also offered a venue for a edit-a-thon in mid November.

Wiki Loves Monuments

-OM has arranged a photowalk in Cork to promote the event.

-SE created county maps with points for all of the monuments. The points also have links to the upload wizard-EE created the links from the campaign that Alison created. Alison also created categories for the images to be placed into. That will make it easy for us to keep track of how many images have been uploaded.

-SB has heard back from several Heritage Councils about adding monuments. She will collate them and then pass them on to SE to be added to the list/maps.

-The date of the Launch event at St Audeon’s has been set for 26 August at 6pm pending approval from OPW.

-RO will create a mock up of a flyer and an invitation.

-SB is working on a grant proposal for funds from the Department of Arts, Heritage, and the Gaeltacht to cover some of the event costs.

The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 30 July @ 6pm in Dublin. If you are in Dublin would like to attend the meeting or would like Skype in send an email to wikimediaireland@gmail.com
