Not strictly accurate - *we want to become* fully involved with this group. But are not formally yet
See earlier mail from me about 10 mins ago for full explanation Steve From: wikimediauk-l-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:wikimediauk-l-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Roger Bamkin Sent: 29 March 2012 12:27 To: wikimediauk-l@lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Wikimediauk-l] CREWE session in May I've been involved a bit with the CREWE page and supporting Steve Virgin with this. We are VERY involved with this group. There have been several meetings and we are intending to see if we can find a speaker for the AGM Roger On 29 March 2012 11:07, Thomas Morton <morton.tho...@googlemail.com> wrote: Steve Virgin has been doing a lot of work in this area and should be involved. I will reach out to him - it is on my list :) May is full of AGM - so give those dates a wide berth! In the middle! :) This would likely have to be on a week day anyway (at least from what I have gathered so far), which makes it a lot less likely to clash with anything (although a lot less convenient for Wikipedians, possibly). It may end up getting pushed later though, depends how fast things move. As for venue, I'm sure our PR friends will be able to fund or provide a venue; I suggest we are open to venues outside of London and this could be a chance to show off our progress in Wales (or alternatively Bristol) and discuss that as a good news partnership case study. Steve has been working on some plans with that in mind, which I am sure he will be happy to share with you on request, though they may not be available for open publication yet. Sounds interesting; I'd certainly be interested to hear Steve's thoughts (he did express support I think, when I first mentioned this, but not heard anything since - so I presumed to take an initiative... ;)) Personally I am not adverse to heading outside London. In my initial discussions, though, the suggestion was the outside London attendance was unlikely to be as good. PS costs of travel or venue are not an issue for this one; doing it well, sustainably and being seen to do the right thing are a challenge. Agreed; a slick session would be great.
