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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ?
Cordialement,

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).
