Hi all, it was great to talk to some of you yesterday at the London meetup,
and especially the discussion around trying to better organise those
Wikimedians who are also software developers. I think we all agree that
some of the tools people have created to edit and improve Wikipedia,
Commons etc are really useful, but that they aren't very accessible or user
friendly. I think we could make a useful impact if we could organise
developers to put their heads together to work on improving and extending
the vast array of tools that exist already. To this end, I've started a
Slack channel for Wikimedia developers to discuss how we might move forward
with the idea. If you would like to be added to the channel to discuss with
other Wikimedia developers how to take the idea forward and share what you
might already be working on, please reply with your interest and let me
know your email address so I can send you an invite to the channel,
wikidevsuk.slack.com .
All the best,
John Lubbock

Hello all,
Just a reminder that Wiki Loves Monuments is around the corner, andn
coincidently we are looking for input on volunteer equipment. (Specifically
photography and AV equipment)
Here is a list of current equipment we have:
https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Equipment_Loan_Procedure#Multimedia
We’d ideally strive for some kind of balance between quality and quantity,
but are not averse to a big ticket item if it will facilitate a specific
piece of work.
But ideas suggested to me by volunteers and other Wikimedians so far have
been:
More lapel microphones (to record panel events etc)
Shoulder rig
Video light box.
Filters.
Extra batteries and memory cards.
A bigger telephoto lens
A handy audio recorder
A camera drone
A selfie stick
We have a budget of £1000. If as part of the suggestions, people could also
look at prices and possible good value vendors, that would be helpful
too. Please
reply all here, or alternatively, with suggestions on the wiki.
<https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Talk:Equipment_Loan_Procedure> Looking to
firm up decisions over the next couple of weeks.
Thanks

Hello,
I'm writing a Wikipedia article about Spalding War Memorial but struggling
for useful photos and I live at the opposite end of the country. s there
anyone on this list who lives within striking distance who might be willing
to go and take some better pictures for me?
Thanks,

Dear all
As I know some of you will already be aware, Wikimedia UK, Women in Red and
Wikimedia editors and communities around the world are partnering with BBC
100 Women to raise awareness of the gender gap on Wikipedia, improve
coverage of women and encourage women to edit.
A multi-location, multilingual volunteer-led editathon will be taking place
in various locations across the world on *Thursday 8th December. *In the
UK, editathons will be taking place for BBC staff, presenters and special
guests in all four nations of the UK with events in Belfast, Cardiff,
Glasgow, London and Reading. Women in Red are also running a virtual
editathon to involve more established editors, particularly those who are
already working on the gender gap.
You can read more about this project on the meta page, which we will be
updating as the week continues:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK/Events/BBC_100_Women
Whilst the events in the UK are primarily for BBC staff, presenters, VIPs
and other special guests, Wikimedia UK is collating a small guest list for
the Broadcasting House event. If you would like to attend, please email
Nicola.Furness(a)wikimedia.org.uk (copied in above) and let her know which of
the following times would be best for you: 2 – 4pm, 3 – 5pm, 4 – 6pm or 5 –
7pm. Nicola is liaising with the BBC over capacity and will confirm your
space ASAP.
We are also exploring the potential for external guests at the events
in Cardiff, Reading and Glasgow, so please email Nicola if you are
interested.
All best
