@JoBrodie sent this to me on Twitter: http://blogs.food.gov.uk/science/entry/if_you_can_t_beat The Chief Scientist at the Food Standards Agency is interested in getting them to edit Wikipedia. Anyone at WMUK want to contact them or is there stuff going on behind the scenes I don't know about? ;-

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Food Standards Agency expressing interest in academy?

Dear all, Just a general comment from me - to keep communications flowing prodigiously. What with all the outreach that's going on, it's important areas of overlap e.g. between, say the Campus Ambassadors program working with food tech students and another possible initiative going on not attac

Vinesh makes a good point that has been recognized by WMUK and is being factored into expectations for office support. Currently http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM-WIKI/Events is a coordinating list for GLAM related points of contact, I would see no problem extending this to other organizations expr

On that note, we at IC wikisoc are interested in the Science, natural history and V&A museums as they are all right next to our south ken campus, and may integrate with our CA programs! Vinesh Sent from my iPhone On 19 Apr 2011, at 16:49, "Fae" mailto:fae...@gmail.com>> wrote: Vinesh makes a

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Food Standards Agency expressing interest in academy?

I agree that we should try to keep all partnerships on one page rather than subdivide by themes. I think Partnerships is a more logical name than GLAM or CAGE, the advantage of having them all organised through one page is that we have a chance to coordinate and try to minimise clashes, or at least
