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.
I also don't see any problem with the WMF hosting a mailing
list--we
have a number of locally user-based email lists for entities which
have no interest in forming a chapter (Wikimedia-sf to name one) and I
see no problem with the creation of a Wikimedia-man-uk (or something
like that).
