Gordo;

It means designers of online communities; people who design digital spaces for group interaction. This is a large and active area of study, and Wikipedia is an interesting example because not only is it active and well populated but the participants have created something of enormous value. Imagine if World of Warcraft did the same.

Github is a digital space based around Git. Why don't you think it fits?

Hi all,

Now that the Wikimedia UK AGM is over, there’s a couple of other important
elections going on within the Wikimedia movement. The Wikimedia Foundation
is electing three (3) community members to its Board of Trustees, the
ultimate governing authority of the Wikimedia Foundation. In addition, the
community is also electing two (2) members to the Funds Dissemination
Committee (FDC) and also the FDC Ombudsperson.

You can find more information on all of this, including the candidate
statements, ask the candidate questions, list of eligibility requirements
for voters and information on how to vote on <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_2013>.

As the work of the Foundation Board of Trustees impacts the ways the
movement pursuit its goals, and the FDC are involved in the grants making
process which the chapter was involved in last year and expects to be again
this year, I would encourage as many of you as possible to take an interest
and vote in these elections.

Katie

Hi all,

A quick reminder/notification (as appropriate!) about two upcoming
events in London this month:

* Royal Opera House editathon, 22 June
* WWI workshop, British Library, 29 June

The Royal Opera House event will be focusing on the ballets of Sir
Frederick Ashton, one of the UK's most prominent choreographers:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Ballet/Royal_Opera_House_editathon

The British Library event will be a chance to use some of the newly
digitised (and not yet online) Europeana WWI material to help build
articles, or to work on any other projects that might be of interest:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/British_Library/WWI

Please pass this on to anyone who might be interested!

Thanks,

- Andrew.

Congratulations to the new trustees. Here's hoping for a happy and productive year. And hopefully the unsuccessful candidates will keep in touch - it would be good to have them all on board, but there are only so many seats.

I'll second Chris as well and say thank you to all the speakers, the attendees, our wonderful staff (especially Daria and Katie who were so helpful with the AGM), and my colleagues on the Conference Committee, all of whom helped make the conference a success.

Many thanks to all candidates, both successful and unsuccessful, for taking part. 

Thanks and regards,

That would be a good thing.

I looked at the page "Online Community Designers" and wondered what that
meant?

https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Online_Community_Designers

Does the phrase mean "Online Community" Designers or "Online" Community
Designers?

Also, not sure how Github fits...... I prefer to use RCS or even SCCS.
But then I am old school!

YMMV,

Hello!

The Conference Committee is planning to meet (remotely - online or by
phone) hopefully before the end of the month. Of particular interest to
many of you will be the review of WikiConference UK 2013 and the
discussion of the 2014 AGM (this is where those green forms I forced you
to fill in on the day will come in handy, so we're very much obliged to
everyone who filled one in). We'll also be discussing EduWiki and
Wikimania, so it's an exciting agenda (or at least as exciting as
committee meeting get!).

If you have thoughts on the 2013 AGM, please do add them at
https://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_UK_2013/Lessons or email
them to me if you're not comfortable with wikis and/or want to speak in
confidence. If you spot something missing from the agenda, add it to
https://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Conference_Committee/Planning_meeting_10#AOB.

Everybody is welcome (I will email this list with details when they're
known); if you'd lie to take part in the Doodle poll to decide the date,
please email me. Likewise with any other questions or comments.

Thanks,

--
