Hi,
I'm not a member of Wikimedia UK (because I can never find the money when I think about joining), but I've noticed a lot of the events are university things or museum stuff, I was wondering, are there any other types of events, for example, I know the Dutch/German chapters run or host the occasional Hack-a-Thon or meetups at other coding related events. Do we do anything other than the GLAM or whatever it is?

Hi Lewis
Answer is 'yes'
The next year's events are starting to be discussed now and input is warmly welcome.
Attached link is a place to keep an eye on as it will show events as they begin to happen. Do get involved if you can, it would be great to meet up with you at one.

Hm, I think we should throw a hackathon, I've been watching the talks at the one in Berlin so far, and its quite interesting. I'd show up and would help with some things (not a member of WM-UK though), but its an idea, anyway...

A hackathon in the uk would be great. My main worry with it would be having enough developers turn up at it, though. There are a lot of German mediawiki developers, which means that the events in Berlin are always successful, but there are a lot fewer devs in the uk. So I suspect the main focus of at least the first hackathon would be introducing people to the code - which then needs a cadre of current developers to lead, teach and assist as they make their first commits.
I'd love to hear thoughts from others about this - particularly from any devs on this list.
Thanks, Mike

I know of 1 developer in the UK, who is currently in Berlin, and I'd hope to have commit by then. One thing I have noticed, is that a lot of the developers there, are WMF staff/contractors from all over the place that have flown in, so it'd be interesting to see what the deal is with that... (I know Tim Starling, the release manager has probably flown in from Australia). It'd also be chance for British Wikimedians to talk to the developers, share some opinions face to face, and for people to do talks on general WM-UK stuff if they wanted to...

Only problem for me may be the timing (I have exams). But that can be sorted later.

I understand it's sponsored by WM-DE (something useful to spend the money on). They also run the toolserver.

I'm not a MediaWiki developer, but I have helped to organise three BarCamp events. These are overnight events done for very little money in partnership with a variety of companies or universities.
We run overnight events in central London with three hundred developers and other interested people for a fraction of the cost of a similar commercial event. How? Well, we organise them in kind of a wiki way. Early BarCamps used to simply be people putting up "hey, we've got this space for the weekend, we need food, wifi etc., stick down on the wiki what you can provide".
I'd be very interested in having some kind of Wikimedia/free culture hack day, perhaps at a university over a weekend. There are a variety of sponsors we could approach to do this.
I wouldn't worry too much about the existing Wikimedia developers: they have events to go to. But getting more people involved from outside the Wiki[p|m]edia community is something we should do: there are plenty of developers I know who have great good will towards projects like Wikipedia and probably would be interested in getting involved, building hacks and so on.
A hack day type event usually takes this form:
Saturday 09:00 - 10:00 Breakfast 10:00 - 10:30 Welcome / Intro 10:30 - 12:30 Intro sessions: ideas, technical stuff etc. 12:30 - 13:30 Lunch and START HACKING
Sunday 08:00 - 10:00 Breakfast CONTINUE HACKING 13:00 Lunch, stop hacking 14:00 present things people have built, then give out prizes.
Who might be able to run such an event? At BarCamp, we've hosted them at The Guardian (near Kings Cross), IBM (South Bank) and City University (near Angel station). A number of hack days have been run at The Guardian, and I helped run WarbleCamp there (a Twitter hack day). We've also had events at eBay/PayPal (Richmond) and Google (near Victoria station).
For Wikimedia UK/WMF, it could be seen as a form of developer evangelism - see http://developer-evangelism.com/
It might draw more people into working on stuff for toolserver, helping run bots, fixing long-standing issues (maybe some awesome image recognition person will turn up and write bots to go tag stuff on Commons), or maybe we'll just get cool ideas out of it. Either way, people will probably go home from it with a better feeling about Wikipedia, and next time they think "I should build a mashup", it may be that they decide to hack on MediaWiki or Wikimedia API stuff rather than Twitter or Facebook.
When I started writing this e-mail, I tweeted asking if anyone would be interested in having a Wikimedia hack day in London. I've already had two positive responses from BarCamp/hack day regulars and Kevin Prince, one of the co-organisers of BarCamp London and a number of hack days, has retweeted it.
If there is interest in doing this kind of thing, we could do it in a very lightweight and cost-effective way by following the sort of model used by BarCamps, hack days and HackCamps.
Yours,

I can definitely see the Board agreeing to support something like this - financially and otherwise as required - but far easier to do if there is a volunteer who isn't on the Board who can scope it, find times, venues and so on.

Are most of the people interested in this located in London? If not I could possibly look into organising a Hackathon somewhere in the East Midlands (fairly central...) - Nottingham perhaps.

I'm doing some behind-the-scenes scurrying and poking with a view to perhaps running an event sometime later on in the year (Oct/Nov/Dec) in London.
