Dear all Ahead of our Annual General Meeting this Saturday 15th July, our Annual Report and Accounts for the year ending 31st January 2017 have been published online here <https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/File:Wikimedia_UK_Annual_Report_2017_(signatu…>.

by John Lubbock 12 Jul '17

12 Jul '17

I asked for press passes to go to Afropunk Fest <http://afropunkfest.com/london/> in London on July 22-23 and was told we can get some, but now I'm not sure that I can go myself. Would any of our members like one in exchange for photographing acts (especially those without photos on Commons)? Let me know. John Lubbock Communications Coordinator Wikimedia UK

uk.wikimedia.org is no more
by Michael Peel 08 Jul '17

08 Jul '17

It looks like uk.wikimedia.org just got turned off and redirect to wikimedia.org.uk , as per https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170005 . This was long overdue as the last part of moving over to wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/ and I'm just mentioning it in case anyone wonders where it went. (And I was so close to the 100k global edits mark, but now I have quite a few thousand more edits to make before I get there!) Thanks, Mike

Firefox doesn't like cert for https://donate.wikimedia.org.uk
by David Gerard 25 Jun '17

25 Jun '17

Just renewed my WMUK membership, and Firefox balked at the SSL certificate. The cert doesn't expire until 2019, but Firefox 54 doesn't like it. Oddly, Chromium 58 is fine with it. Can anyone see what's wrong, which CA Firefox doesn't like any more etc? - d.
