Hi,<div><br></div><div>I&#39;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&#39;re planning to involve a diverse range of people and groups, and organise a first &#39;proper&#39; meeting in February.</div>
<div><br></div><div>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&#39;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&#39;s remit - but I&#39;d like to hear what other people on this list think.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, please feel free to forward this mail to any other people or groups you think might be interested.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Cormac</div>
