Wikimedia UK is pleased to be able to announce today the appointment to the
board of three new trustees: Joseph Seddon, Simon Knight and Padmini Ray Murray.
Joseph is a highly experienced Wikimedian who will be well known to many in
both the UK and wider communities; he was previously a hands-on director of
Wikimedia UK before it became a charity, and has been following our progress
closely and attempting to provide quiet advice ever since.
Simon is a PhD student who has been very active with WMUK over the last few
months in education projects including as an EduWiki speaker; his research
interests focus on learning analytics and open content education, and covers
such issues as using Wikipedia as a platform to support information literacy.
Padmini is an academic with significant knowledge of the University Education
field; she lectures at Stirling University on subjects including social media
and participatory technologies. Her home is in Edinburgh.
Joseph and Simon have been appointed as 'replacement elected trustees', to fill
the board seats left vacant by the resignation of previous trustees Ashley van
Haeften (User:Fae) and Mike Peel. Their terms run until the next AGM when they
will put themselves up for re-election. Padmini has been co-opted for her
specialist expertise and will serve a two year term.
We welcome them all.
Michael
