According to Facebook, Jimbo will be at the AGM.
Is this true?

Hi everyone,
This is my first post here. I've been responsible for some discussion at the BBC about a possible contribution to the Wikipedia project from the BBC - I think it's come up on the list too. There's no hard proposal or plan, just an ongoing discussion of the appropriate relationship of a national public service content creator and the leading free knowledge source on the net.
There's been some discussion of a 'BBC Wikipedia Club' for wannabe contributors/editors who work at the BBC, about more formally gifting content to Wikipedia and - more ambitiously - about hiring a 'Social Media Editor' to manage the corporation's relationship with Wikipedia and other open media sources.
Question: would it be appropriate for one or more BBC people with an interest in collaboration to come along to the AGM? If so, should we bring a formal contribution or just sit quietly at the back? If not, is there a more appropriate forum we could get involved with?
Steve

Hi Steve et all,
Speaking as a member of Wikimedia UK, I think this would be a fantastic contribution to the AGM and a great start to what can hopefully be a prosperous and fulfilling relationship between the two parties, both for Wikimedia UK's activities and the Wikimedia's activities as a whole.

It's not my decision, but I would very much support the BBC giving a presentation at the AGM. There has been talk of trying to find someone to give a talk in order to break up the monotony of the official business we need to get through, and I think someone from the BBC could fill that role perfectly. A presentation from you followed by an open floor discussion could be extremely productive.
Concur. Something like this could bring benefits all round.

This seems to have been missed by the board - any comments?

Does it include anyone who knows about the dirac codec? Medium term that is something wikipedia is going to be looking to use.

People trying to manage their relationship with wikipedia is the kind of thing that gets wikipedians paranoid.

People trying to manage what Wikipedia says about them gets us paranoid, I don't think that is what is meant here.
