There is a "bar camp" happening in Birmingham on 7 June 2014 (see below for details). It would be good to have someone from a Wikimedia perspective there if anyone is interested, and maybe use the opportunity to advertise Wikimania this August (the Wikimedia UK Wikimania team are all busy that day).
*What is a bar camp?* A bar camp is a conference where what happens is organised by the delegates on the day. The event organisers have to arrange something, the main one being the venue, but the rest is down to the delegates. So all the hassle of talk submissions, review and scheduling is taken away. http://www.flossuk.org/Events/BarcampBirmingham2014 -- Chris McKenna Wikimania 2014 Support Wikimedia UK chris.mcke...@wikimedia.org.uk tel: +44 (0) 20 7065 0990 Wikimedia UK is a Charitable Company registered in England and Wales.
