Roger, Fae and I attended the Chapters conference over the last three
days and between us covered most of the sessions and, I hope, offered
a supportive and positive impression of the UK chapter.
There were lots of debates with the fundraising issues to the
forefront. With luck we can all move on. Mostly people were meeting to
discus and share ways of making our community stronger and more
effective and the chance to meet everyone was fantastic.
The UK delegation acted as presenters, rapporteurs and enthusiasts.
Everything is being put up bit by bit and the discussions around what
the Chapters Association/Council will do were really imaginative.
Am happy to answer any specific questions.
And one important thing to say - well done Wikimedia Deutschland who
did all the organisation and did it well.
Jon
