Since they are likely to change appearance soon if they haven't
already. The list so far is:
Horatia House and Leamington House in Somerstown, Portsmouth, where
the city council is removing cladding after testing found it was a
fire risk
Three high-rise blocks on the Mount Wise Tower estate in Plymouth,
where cladding made of similar material to Grenfell Tower was found
Five high-rise blocks on Camden Council's Chalcots estate in north
London where officials are preparing to remove cladding
Braithwaite House, one of eight blocks tested on an Islington Council estate
Denning Point tower block in east London where Tower Hamlets Council
said the cladding "did not fully comply" with requirements
The Village 135 development in Wythenshawe, Greater Manchester, where
78 panels were being removed from one area of the site
Clements Court tower in Cranford, west London, where Hounslow Council
says it will remove the outer cladding from the building

Some these do appear to be in slightly iffy areas mind. Somerstown for
example doesn't have the best of reputations.

Dear all
The formal notice of Wikimedia UK's 2017 Annual General Meeting was sent to
members by email earlier today, on behalf of the board of trustees. If you
are a member and don't receive the email by tonight, please get in touch
(after checking your spam box!) so that we can check that your membership
is current and that we have the correct email address for you.
If you are not currently a member of the charity, I would urge you to join
here
<https://donate.wikimedia.org.uk/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=4>
or email membership(a)wikimedia.org.uk. For just £5 a year you can help shape
the direction of the charity and stand for election to our board of
trustees, as well as submit motions and vote in General Meetings. As a
membership organisation it's vital for Wikimedia UK to have a vibrant,
diverse and active membership body so please consider showing your support
for open knowledge and for the chapter in this way.
As previously confirmed on this mailing list, the next AGM for Wikimedia UK
will be held on Saturday 15th July at Senate House Library in London and
all volunteers, editors and partners are welcome, although only members of
the charity can vote (in person or by proxy). The day starts at 11am and we
aim to finish by 4.30pm, and we will be keeping you fed and watered
throughout. The agenda for the day is on wiki here
<https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/2017_AGM>. Following the AGM there is an
evening networking and refresher event for previous participants of the
Train the Trainer course, starting at 5pm, and the rest of us will be
heading to a nearby pub I imagine :)
We would like to invite people attending the AGM and meet up to give a
short lightning talk - for example on your own work with Wikimedia, or
developments within open knowledge - so please email
membership(a)wikimedia.org.uk if you would like to participate. There are
limited slots available and talks should be no longer than five minutes.
We would love to see as many of our members, volunteers and other
stakeholders as possible on 15th July, so please sign up through eventbrite
here
<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/wikimedia-uk-agm-2017-tickets-34718203080?re…>.
With very best wishes

Wikimedia UK is the UK chapter of a global Wikimedia movement. The

Apparently it was sent to spam because it doesn't meet GMail's "Bulk
Sender Guidelines":
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126?hl=en-GB#authentication
tl;dr they want you using SPF, DMARC and DKIM. (The message headers
say spf=neutral, which I expect means nobody's set it up.)
These are very faffy (we just set this up at work) but worth it. But
also very faffy.

Werespielchequers and I are having another editathon Next Sunday morning at
the lovely Cinema Museum <http://www.cinemamuseum.org.uk/> in Elephant and
Castle.
The election got in the way for both of us so not much organisation beyond
WMUK agreeing to pay for refreshements and the Museum willing to open up
yet again to us.
Please let us know you can come.
11am for a few hours editing and then the chance to stay for a film
screening of the wonderfully dark Coup de Torchon

I've been asked to provide examples of UK universities releasing media
under open licence (as opposed to giving us their images of
out-of-copyright works).
Do any spring to mind?
