Dear all
There are quite a few places left at Saturday's AGM so please sign up *here https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/wikimedia-uk-agm-2017-tickets-34718203080* if you'd like to come. As well as the AGM, this is a key opportunity to feed into the final cycle of the global Wikimedia movement strategy process, as there will be a workshop/facilitated discussion on the emerging strategy in the morning. We will be joined, virtually, at this session by Ravishankar Ayyakkannu from the Wikimedia Foundation's Global Reach and Partnerships team, who will give a short summary of the New Voices strategy track and will be available to answer questions during the discussions.
One of the highlights of last year's event for me was the 'lightning talks' session, but so far this year we only have one person signed up. Please consider giving a lightning talk and sharing some of your wiki wisdom! Talks should generally be about five minutes long, although of course if we don't have many people signed up the timings will be a bit more relaxed. You can sign up by emailing nicola.furness@wikimedia.org.uk with your name and a title for your talk.
I'm looking forward to seeing many of you at Senate House Library on Saturday.
Best wishes Lucy
I assumed all the slots would be taken, but I'd be happy to give a talk if there's space. Let's go with "War Memorials, Wikipedia, and Why You Should Care", just because I appreciate alliteration. (Hi Nicola! If you need more detail, please do email me offlist.)
Is there somewhere public we can put these things and/or sign up for the event in general? I know it's a crazy Wikipedian thing, but it might inspire someone else.
Best,
Harry Mitchell http://enwp.org/User:HJ +44 (0) 7507 536 971 Skype: harry_j_mitchell

Harry - that sounds really good! If you've got a written version anywhere and it isn't on the WMUK blog can you make that a thing for those of us (like me) who sadly won't make it.
I have voted by proxy though :)

There isn't even an *un*written version yet. It's been a long time since I stood up and spoke to a room full of Wikimedians. Also, I didn't think anyone else would be interested! Something to occupy me on the journey tomorrow! ;)

Hi Harry,
If you are still thinking about it, it would be neat to cover any experiences you have had in use of the projects for mapping, successful or not. I play around with OSM, and have remained impressed at how nicely the editing tools work there. At the 'meta' level we have a big gap between the idea of navigating or discovering by place and what Commons/Wikidata/Wikipedia can provide using integrated methods.
Three to four years ago the UK chapter was encouraging projects around geomapping, but the only place I have noticed innovation recently was last year by Commons enthusiasts on better tools for individual maps; though there's been a lot of discussion (and investment) within Wikidata I have not followed.
Thanks, Fae

Afternoon,
Harry how did the lightning talk go? Well I hope! Still keen to see some of this written up and on the WMUK blog - I'm happy to help with writing it up if you like?
Also Fae's post reminds me I need to see what capacity OSM has to tag postboxes :D

Dear all
There are quite a few places left at Saturday's AGM so please sign up here if you'd like to come. As well as the AGM, this is a key
opportunity to
feed into the final cycle of the global Wikimedia movement strategy
process,
as there will be a workshop/facilitated discussion on the emerging
strategy
in the morning. We will be joined, virtually, at this session by
Ravishankar
Ayyakkannu from the Wikimedia Foundation's Global Reach and
Partnerships
team, who will give a short summary of the New Voices strategy track
and
will be available to answer questions during the discussions.
One of the highlights of last year's event for me was the 'lightning talks' session, but so far this year we only have one person signed
up.
Please consider giving a lightning talk and sharing some of your wiki wisdom! Talks should generally be about five minutes long, although of course if we don't have many people signed up the timings will be a
bit more
relaxed. You can sign up by emailing nicola.furness@wikimedia.org.uk
with
your name and a title for your talk.
I'm looking forward to seeing many of you at Senate House Library on Saturday.
Best wishes Lucy

If you would both like to write up Harry's work on war memorials for the blog, we'd be happy to publish it.

Afternoon,
Harry how did the lightning talk go? Well I hope! Still keen to see some of this written up and on the WMUK blog - I'm happy to help with writing it up if you like?
Also Fae's post reminds me I need to see what capacity OSM has to tag postboxes :D

Hi Harry,
If you are still thinking about it, it would be neat to cover any experiences you have had in use of the projects for mapping, successful or not. I play around with OSM, and have remained impressed at how nicely the editing tools work there. At the 'meta' level we have a big gap between the idea of navigating or discovering by place and what Commons/Wikidata/Wikipedia can provide using integrated methods.
Three to four years ago the UK chapter was encouraging projects around geomapping, but the only place I have noticed innovation recently was last year by Commons enthusiasts on better tools for individual maps; though there's been a lot of discussion (and investment) within Wikidata I have not followed.
Thanks, Fae

Harry - that sounds really good! If you've got a written version

and it isn't on the WMUK blog can you make that a thing for those of us (like me) who sadly won't make it.
I have voted by proxy though :)

I'm also happy to help with the writing too, as I think I mentioned to Harry on Saturday. I'm always happy to help any of our community who have an idea for a blogpost to edit and publish it.

Sorry.
Can't wait to cross-post to the LSBG mailing list :D
Maybe you; they can suggest extra fields, and lists of likely values, such as manufacturer? If so, I can help by creating relevant items in Wikidata.
