Wikimedia UK is pleased to be able to announce today
the appointment to
the board of three new trustees: Joseph Seddon, Simon Knight and Padmini
Ray Murray.
Joseph is a highly experienced Wikimedian who will be well known to many
in both the UK and wider communities; he was previously a hands-on director
of Wikimedia UK before it became a charity, and has been following our
progress closely and attempting to provide quiet advice ever since.
Simon is a PhD student who has been very active with WMUK over the last
few months in education projects including as an EduWiki speaker; his
research interests focus on learning analytics and open content education,
and covers such issues as using Wikipedia as a platform to support
information literacy.
Padmini is an academic with significant knowledge of the University
Education field; she lectures at Stirling University on subjects including
social media and participatory technologies. Her home is in Edinburgh.
Joseph and Simon have been appointed as 'replacement elected trustees', to
fill the board seats left vacant by the resignation of previous trustees
Ashley van Haeften (User:Fae) and Mike Peel. Their terms run until the next
AGM when they will put themselves up for re-election. Padmini has been
co-opted for her specialist expertise and will serve a two year term.
We welcome them all.
Michael
