Hey all,
I can't believe I haven't asked this before, but are any lurkers on this list either (a) members of the University of Oxford (b) offer-holders from the University of Oxford? Or does anyone know any Wikimedians who fit either of those descriptions but aren't on this list? (Feel free to message me offlist in either case.)
It might also be useful in future to know if there are any active Wikimedians currently studying at Oxford Brookes.
Thanks, Harry

If it's any help, we do have about 500 donors from the city of Oxford, and there are also members of WMUK from Oxford. I can't tell you who they are, but if you're planning an event or something similar, I can email them and ask them to contact you?
PS: Does this mean we might be having Oxford vs Cambridge editing contests in the future?

Any chance of Oxford meetups or a group?
My particular train of though at the moment surrounded the establishment (re-establishment, IIRC) of a student society suitable for Wikimedians in Oxford. So yes :)

If all goes well, yes. The establishment of a society would also help ensure participation in inter-collegiate competitions.

A dozen students in international politics (mostly graduate students) were trained in Wikipedia editing earlier this year, and there was a massively-well-attended public lecture by Jimbo which stirred up a lot of enthusiasm for Wikipedia amongst students and staff. I can nudge my contact with this idea.

I shall be at Birkbeck College this afternoon with a few other Wikiexpert chums, training professionals in the dark arts of Wikipedia. I expect my presence to have the same crowd pulling effect as Jimbo.
