Although i dont speak for everyone i think that supporting something like this would be
something that the chapter would be interested in supporting.
However, for the time being i think that it beyond the chapter to provide any form of
hosting. We are attempting to seek our own hosting right now so it may
be some time before we can offer such hosting services. Prehaps using this mailing list
would be a suitable option for the time being as i think it is well within
our remit. I think both the MFCP and WMUK's can offer each other alot and as we both
grow can support each other.

Subject: [Wikimediauk-l] Manchester Free Culture Group
Hi,
I've been discussing with a few people (not on this list) about forming a group of
people in and around Manchester who are interested in free culture - for seminars,
workshops, and other related activities. There have been a few very small and informal
meetings so far - but we're planning to involve a diverse range of people and groups,
and organise a first 'proper' meeting in February.
So, this mail is for two things. Firstly, if anyone on this list is interested in such a
group, you can contact me offlist for now - as we don't yet have a website or mailing
list. Which brings me to the second point - which is to ask whether Wikimedia UK could
support such locally-based activities by, for example, hosting a mailing list, wiki,
and/or other webspace? It seems to me to be well within WMUK's remit - but I'd
like to hear what other people on this list think.
Also, please feel free to forward this mail to any other people or groups you think might
be interested.
Thanks,Cormac
