All,

As you know, Wikimedia UK has applied to the Charity Commission to be recognised as a UK charity. Our income is over £600,000 and we have over 200 members. There are approximately 15,000,000 people in the UK who regularly use Wikimedia projects and 10,000 people who regularly contribute to them. With ambitious plans for growth and an active Board of Trustees, we are now entering an exciting new phase.

As such, we are now  looking for someone to run the new London office in Old Street, and support the CEO in the development of our office and financial systems as we build our team. We are, therefore, hiring for our second permanent role: an Office and Development Manager. Further details are available on the Wikimedia UK wiki at http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Office_and_Development_Manager. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them on this list or on the discussion page. Jon, the CEO, is very keen to answer questions as well, and will do so as soon as he is available, but regretfully he has limited access to the internet at present. If your question is urgent, and can’t be answered by myself or the board, please let me know and I’ll try and get the question to him however I can.

Kind regards,

Richard Symonds
