This blog post ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2009/03/interesting_stuff_an_open_bbc...) and picture (http://www.flickr.com/photos/37996583811@N01/3345242414/) from a BBC event seem very interesting and promising! Maybe we should consider contacting them, as a chapter, to see if there is anything we can start to do together. The picture shows that they seem to want to encourage their experts to contribute and forming a Wikipedia club, also licensing BBC content for Wikipedia so to me it sounds like something that we should be following up on and offering as much assistance as possible both on the individual level but more importantly as a chapter.
Thoughts?

That does sound like something the chapter would be good for - someone should send them a keep email and see if they are open to discussions.
Certainly, this could be highly beneficial.

And was anybody asking the BBC about the use of Open Standards?
