Good morning everybody,
Daria and I are puzzled as to why a small internal meeting gained the status of a 'summit'! It was part of the analysis we are doing particularly with regard to the UK sponsored WiR posts and one of a series of processes. It involved people who had been paid by WMUK or closely involved in that proocess looking at the particular issues that brings up.
We fully expect Andy and everyone to be involved through the consultation and in particular we are planning a day event (it was provisionally May 24 but we are not sure of the date yet, it is likely to slip into June). This will be up on the wiki as soon as we know and everyone will be welcome. Andy's experience will be very relevant.
Jon
PS Can I thank Jonathan and Daria and everyone else who gave up their Saturday.

What information have you found about this event? I have been unable to verify its existence based on searches of google, WMF wikis and mailing lists to which I am subscribed.
The closest I can come is Daria posting on the 17th March on the WMF Outreach Wiki about WMUK's survey about WIR positions in the UK [1], or her posting on the Water Cooler on Thursday (3 April) about the volunteer opportunity related to analysing the data from this survey [2].
This makes me wonder whether some wires have got crossed somewhere along the line?

As a four-time[1] Wikipedian-in-Residence (indeed, as WMUK's first

I don't seem to be able to find anything on the wiki, not even an event listing.
