I am interested in becoming a member of the Wikimedia UK chapter, I am unable to find any information regarding becoming a member (except the discussion regarding the cost). Also is there any age limit to becoming a member? Thanks. -- Robert[hl] [[User:Lcarsdata]] http://roberthl.wikitest.co.uk/

I think I was supposed to send the list a question on this subject ages ago but was caught up in impending fatherhood. The baby is here (and is not editing Wikipedia, no), so Arkady and I both have some catchup to get on with. - d.

Assistance needed building press release email list for the UK
by David Gerard 24 May '07

24 May '07

There's a press release going out for Tuesday for a UK organisation working with WMF. So the organisation asked me about addresses to email it to. *ahem* guess who's so used to doing press reactively that he's never actually gathered a press release email list. We have addresses for the major (and many minor) newspapers, but not for computer/internet press. So far I have the Inquirer (press.releases[AT]theinquirer.net) and the Register (news[AT]theregister.co.uk). I welcome your assistance with other suitable press addresses. It would probably be a good idea for WMF to get into the habit of proactive press releases, as we do, after all, have an agenda to push (free content, education, wikis, the stuff in the mission statements of WMF and WMUK). So this'll be useful far and wide. Note that no-one here has any money for media directories ... - d.

Digitizing of the Codex Sinaiticus (was: [WikiFR-l] Numérisation du Codex Sinaiticus)
by Delphine Ménard 16 May '07

16 May '07

This French user points out this action of the British Library. Old email but might be more appropriate for Wikimedia UK or Wikimedia Deutschland? I could think of a joint action Wikimedia UK/Wikimedia Deutschland since the manuscript is in both countries. This, in any case, seems to be a very interesting project to be part of, if at all possible. http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/themes/asianafricanman/codex.html (at the end) Best, Delphine ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Xavier Teyssier <xtliste(a)free.fr> Date: May 2, 2007 5:48 AM Subject: [WikiFR-l] Numérisation du Codex Sinaiticus To: Liste de diffusion de la Wikipédia francophone <wikifr-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Bonjour, Apparemment, une des plus anciennes bibles connues va bientôt être numérisée gràce à la British Library. (source : http://www.sur-la-toile.com/mod_News_article_3392___.html ) Quelqu'un a t'il déjà entendu parler de ce projet, et surtout, savez vous quelle est la politique de la British Library quant à la libération des oeuvres numérisées ? Serait-ce intéressant que Wikimédia France prenne contact avec eux pour faire pencher la balance du bon côté ?

Wiki Wednesday in London (June 2007)
by Gordon Joly 02 May '07

02 May '07

The next Wiki Wednesday in London will be different in several respects. http://www.eu.socialtext.net/wikiwed/index.cgi?london_wikiwed_6_june_2007 First and foremost, it will in South London. Secondly, there will be two main presentations, followed by short talks from anybody who wishes to speak. David Terrar is the master of all again. 1) Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 - Microsoft speaker TBA 2) The cultural effects of using wiki technology in organisations - speaker TBA SharePoint has been discussed and presented at previous meetings, hence the first item. The second comes from a question at the previous meetings, but I believe the questioner might have asked about cultural aspects in general, whether inside an organization or not. The name Wiki Wednesday is somewhat of a misnomer, in that all types of CSCW and related software technologies are discussed (e.g. online shared spreadsheets).
