What will be the shape of the WikiConference 2013?
by Daria Cybulska 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Dear All, The date of the 2013 WikiConference is now pinned down as *Saturday 8 June*. However, the rest of the event is very open at the moment, and your input would be great - particularly your wish list of possible external speakers to make the event more varied, and a non-London location suggestions. The event stub can be found here: http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_UK_2013 Please feel free to comment on the discussion page, or respond to this email. The 2012 WikiConference<http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_UK_2012>was based in London. It did not have a keynote speech, but was filled with many interesting talks from the community. Many thanks!

The report as it stands is here<http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Reports/2012/July>. If you could add your content by the end of the week that would be very helpful.

Wikimedia UK training for the charities in our office - 27 September 2012
by Daria Cybulska 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Dear All, Wikimedia UK is located in a building that we are sharing with ca. 20 other charities. In May we delivered a short presentation to them talking about Wikimedia UK and Wikipedia, and there was a lot of interest in learning to edit. This would be particularly interesting as the charities in the building all tackle very different issues, so their interests will be quite varied. I am setting up a drop-in style editing event in our office on Thursday 27 September, 11am - 4pm, and it would be great if you could attend to give 1-1 introduction sessions to anyone that will be interested in learning. For more information and to sign up please visit * http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ethical_Properties_Wikipedia_Workshop/Septembe… * We would be able to reimburse reasonable travel and lunch costs.

Wikipedia Takes Coventry - 1 September
by HJ Mitchell 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Hi folks, As some of you may know, we're holding a photo contest in Coventry on 1 September. The aim is to capture good-quality, freely licensed photographs of every significant building or place in the city, and thus show a side to Coventry other than the concrete jungle most people envisage. The event is free and all are welcome (Wikimedians and non-Wikimedians alike), so by all means bring friends and family. For more information, please see http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Takes_Coventry. Any questions, feel free to email me (on- or off-list) or get in touch via the details below. I hope to see many of you there, Harry Mitchell http://enwp.org/User:HJ Phone: 024 7698 0977 Skype: harry_j_mitchell

Update: WMUK, Digital Disruption and Demos
by Stevie Benton 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Hello everyone, I hope you're enjoying the sunshine. I wanted to give you all a quick update on the proposed work with Demos and Digital Disruption. We're having a small workshop on 10 September, along with some interested potential partners who've been speaking with Digital Disruption. You can see more details, and discuss this, on the UK wiki at http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMUK,_Digital_Disruption_and_Demos_event,_10_S… Just to be clear, WMUK hasn't committed to any work or contributed any funds at this point. If you have any comments you'd like to share off-wiki please do email me.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] (offlist) Training coffee morning 12 August

I've asked WMF ops to remove the post, but be aware that it's a complex process to remove it from the list archives, and that there's no way of removing it completely from existence - copies will still exist in the email folders of recipients, and in any other unofficial archives that may exist.

Training coffee morning 12 August
by Charles Matthews 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

I'm running another "coffee morning", i.e. informal discussion session about training issues. This one will precede the London meetup on Sunday 12 August, and will be in the same place, Penderel's Oak pub in Holborn (http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/penderels-oak/). I'll get a train that will allow me to be there by 11 am. All are welcome, to discuss current and future training. I'll hang around during the meetup. But it does tend to get noisier, which is why it seems worth setting aside a couple of hours before the meetup itself starts. Charles
