Apparently "forums" is preferred, but evidently not by me!

Now on Wiki (just) the first draft of our ambitious five year plan.
Would love input form community, especially areas I may have left out.
Will come to the board on April 21st or 22nd.

Here's a quick 24 hour poll on the issues surrounding WMUK accepting
kit from donors. <http://www.doodle.com/i2snavpc55dc95iv> (the table
looks better if you click "Show all 7 options")
Comments on this thread welcome. The board will be discussing a
particular donation this evening, but we are more interested in the
general principle of how to accept donations in-kind without any
compromise on our values and how to ensure we run no future risk of
being compromised in the media by appearing to support any particular
"brand".
Cheers,
Fae

Hi,
Our friend Jo in the The National Archives has uploaded a test
photograph at <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lt-General_Sir_Bernard_Montgomery.jpg>.
Comments or offers to help with later mass uploads and categorization
would be gratefully received. This image is one of an initial test set
of 300 original scans of never before published World War II artworks
in their collections for which we hope to encourage Wikipedia
biography articles to be created about these war time artists (as
commissioned by the Ministry of Information). Consequently help on
Wikipedia fostering that side of the collaboration is also needed.
Over the summer the idea is to publish to Wikimedia Commons something
in the order of (a multiple of) 10,000 images from the digital
collections, for the first time uploaded to the internet for the
public benefit. Experimenting with the initial test set will establish
our best practice for metadata requirements and layout.

Cheers,
Fae

Wikipedians
As Tom mentioned — you are all more than welcome to come round, make
yourself at home and continue making the web better! You may also have to
put the kettle on and make us Mozillians a round of tea ;)
Going forward we could also perhaps also talk about holding a meetup,
un-conference or the like.
The address: 101 St Martins Lane, 3rd Floor, WC2N 4AZ

Mozilla have just launched a new co-working space called Mozilla Spaces.
See:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/mozilla-spaces/http://thenextweb.com/uk/2012/03/23/a-look-inside-mozillas-new-london-co-wo…
The point of it is that it's supposed to be a place for people who
work on the "open web".
And, of course, Wikipedians definitely qualify. I asked Dees, who is
running the London Mozilla Space, if Wikipedians are welcome, and the
answer is "Yes. Yes. And Yes. End of!"
So if you happen to find yourself with a spare hour or two, and you
are near St. Martin's Lane, London, hit up @cyberdees and go hang out
with some Mozilla folk.
Editing with Firefox is not compulsory, but highly recommended. ;-)
(Obligatory security warning: if editing from public wifi, especially
if you are an admin or have other elevated user privileges, be sure to
use HTTPS - if you are using Firefox, install HTTPS Everywhere.)
