User Group
We have received the final User Agreement from Wikimedia. We are now officially a user group.
The Outreach Grant is complete and awaiting endorsement. SE will officially submit in on 23 February.
EE and SE are in the process of becoming certified trainers by Wikimedia UK. In return we would like to try to hold some outreach in Northern Ireland. SE will reach out to her contact at the Titanic museum. JQ will reach out to his contacts as well.
Our Twitter following is slowly increasing, but certainly within range of other user groups our size. SE will continue to maintain the account while RO will continue to maintain Facebook.
Edit-a-thons
WWI-Collins Barracks-we had 1 participant at this event. Though the group was small, we did manage to improve several articles dealing with the Irish in WWI. Due to an incident at the event it was decided that a code of conduct should be published before we have another event.
NUIG Writing Centre-10 March-SE will conduct the training on this date. The follow up Edit-a-Thon will take place sometime during the week of 13 April. SE and RO will attend.
Ro is working with WITS to join their event in March.
Cochrane Symposium-April-SE confirmed that we will run a masterclass at this event.
WLM
SE will create a To-Do list for WLM activities. This will be discussed at the next meeting.
Conferences
CELT Annual Symposium-NUIG-19 June-We have been invited to run a workshop at this event. More information to follow.
Misc
RO has created a group on Meetup.com for the Wikimedia Community Ireland to help with recruitment. SE has agreed to personally greet each new member. We are already seeing some activity. It was agreed that we will start to organise some social events for the group. EE will arrange for speakers.
Also in recruitment, RO will be speaking at the Girl Geek Dinner meetup on Thursday.
The next meeting will take place on Tuesday 24 February at 7pm in Dublin. If you would like to attend, either in person or via Google Hangouts, please send an email to wikimediaireland@gmail.com
Sorry to hear there was an incident at the editathon. I've run or attended many many editathons and I don't recall any thing that would count as an incident, so hopefully such things are rare.
However Wikimedia UK has a friendly space policy, https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Participation_policy you may find it useful when drawing up your code of conduct.
Regards
Jonathan
