Hello everyone,<div><br></div><div><p style="margin:0.4em 0px 0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Wikimedia UK has today published a blog post announcing that the technology behind QRpedia has been donated to Wikimiedia UK by Roger Bamkin and Terence Eden.</p>
<p style="margin:0.4em 0px 0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">As a donation from Roger and Terence, the intellectual property in QRpedia and the <a href="http://qrpedia.org">qrpedia.org</a> and <a href="http://qrwp.org">qrwp.org</a> domains will be transferred to Wikimedia UK, which will maintain and support the development of the QRpedia platform for the future for the benefit of the Wikimedia community. Roger and Terence will act as honorary advisors to Wikimedia UK in this, as well as retaining their moral rights of attribution, but will not receive any financial consideration for this. The transfer of the domains will take place as soon as the remaining legal details have been resolved.</p>
