I am looking at how the Train the Trainers project has worked so far and
would welcome comments.
Those who have been through it will be asked to fill in an additional
survey that will form part of the report.
I will then be reporting to the July Board meeting.

“One is most amused” – Queen Victoria’s Journals editathon
[image: Queen Victoria]<http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Queen_Victoria_1887.jpg>

Queen Victoria
*This post was written by Liz McCarthy, Communications and Social Media
Officer for the Bodleian Libraries, Oxford*
‘This book, Mamma gave me, that I might write the journal of my journey to
Wales in it.’ So began the young Victoria in 1832, beginning a lifelong
habit – and providing fodder for researchers around the world.
As Communications and Social Media Officer for the Bodleian
Libraries<http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/>,
it was my job to find ways to get the word out and help our audiences
engage with the Queen Victoria’s Journals
project<http://www.queenvictoriasjournals.org/>.
The project, a collaborative effort between the Bodleian Libraries, the Royal
Archives<http://www.royal.gov.uk/the%20royal%20collection%20and%20other%20collection…>and
information company
ProQuest <http://www.proquest.co.uk/en-UK/>, has made Queen Victoria’s
diaries available online.
The Bodleian Libraries communications team had already begun to consider
how we might create stronger links with the Wikipedia community – we’ve
been chatting to Wikipedians in Residence and working with local editors to
improve collection-related content. Engaging with the Wikipedia community
seemed like a great way to put the Journals material to use as well as to
help us develop relationships with Wikipedians in the area, and we decided
to run a Queen Victoria’s Journals
editathon<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_University_of_Oxford/%2…>to
coincide with the anniversary of Queen Victoria’s birthday on 24 May.
The project’s timing meant that we had a very short window in which to
organise an event, but we went ahead. We quickly pulled together some
promotional material and got curators lined up for the day, then spent
about two and half weeks promoting the event. The help of Wikimedia UK was
crucial in getting the word out and making sure everything was set up
correctly, but we also advertised within the University and to various
Victorian research groups. [Continues

Hello!
The Conference Committee is planning to meet (remotely - online or by
phone) hopefully before the end of the month. Of particular interest to
many of you will be the review of WikiConference UK 2013 and the
discussion of the 2014 AGM (this is where those green forms I forced you
to fill in on the day will come in handy, so we're very much obliged to
everyone who filled one in). We'll also be discussing EduWiki and
Wikimania, so it's an exciting agenda (or at least as exciting as
committee meeting get!).
If you have thoughts on the 2013 AGM, please do add them at
https://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_UK_2013/Lessons or email
them to me if you're not comfortable with wikis and/or want to speak in
confidence. If you spot something missing from the agenda, add it to
https://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Conference_Committee/Planning_meeting_10#AOB.
Everybody is welcome (I will email this list with details when they're
known); if you'd lie to take part in the Doodle poll to decide the date,
please email me. Likewise with any other questions or comments.
Thanks,

Dear all,
A category has been created on Commons which all the presenters at the
WikiConference 2013 can upload their presentations to, if they so desire.
The category is located at:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:WikiConference_UK_2013_presentat…
There is also a more general category where people can upload any photos
they have taken. As usual, please check for the presence of the round,
coloured stickers on the name badges of every person in all photos you
upload; the presence of coloured stickers indicates that that person does
not wish for photos of them to be published publicly. The category is
located at:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:WikiConference_UK_2013
Best wishes,
Dan (Deskana)
Gordo;
I entirely agree! It was not meant as an exhaustive list, just some
examples. Feel free to add more!

Gordo;
It means designers of online communities; people who design digital spaces
for group interaction. This is a large and active area of study, and
Wikipedia is an interesting example because not only is it active and well
populated but the participants have created something of enormous value.
Imagine if World of Warcraft did the same.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_participation
Github is a digital space based around Git. Why don't you think it fits?
