[Wikimediauk-l] Help us on Britain loves Wikipedia!

2009-11-29 Thread zeyi
Dear All,

Our initiative, Britain loves Wikipedia is coming. According the plan,
the event will launch at the Victoria and Albert Museum on Sunday, 31
January 2010, followed by a series of events each weekend at museums
or galleries around the UK.

It would be great if members can join this event at many volunteering
point. Currently, there are three entries to join in this event:

1, designing Poster: Poster will be used to advertise this event on
local avenue, college campus and other public areas.

2, designing T-shit: T-shit will be given to volunteers on that day,
which need to be remarkable, and represent our logo.

3, signing for volunteers: in the event date, we need volunteers on
museums to lead people, assist museum staff, even encourage people to
join Wikimedia UK. Please check the date and location from
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Initiatives/Britain_Loves_Wikipedia, and
sign the event which is suitable for you to attend.

Please do contact Project leader Mike Peel or me for helping any
issues above. All ideas and comments are welcome!

best

 Do we know where the other events after January 31st will be held yet?

Currently, only one - the British Postal Museum Store in Debden,  
Essex, likely on the 20 February. Where the other events will be held  
will depend on which museums are interested in hosting them. They  
should be spread around the country, though, with a different area  
each weekend.

Another thing that help would be much appreciated with is putting  
together a design for the leaflet, which will be given out at the  
museums and will have instructions and targets on it. You can see  
last year's at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:WLARTatV%26A_Handout.pdf

Also, assistance with putting together the webpages would be great.

Thanks,
Mike

I would (although not yet a WMF-GB member) be delighted to chase up
Chamber's Street Museum in Edinburgh to do a day.

I got dragged round there from around age 8 (32 years ago) by my
grandfather. He was a teacher and ex-mining engineer from WWII. At that
thime they had a lot of hand-made (but look like Hornby) models of
engineering work. I would be most interested in knowing if they still
have them hidden away somewhere. As a kid I loved going round and
pushing all the buttons to make things like bridges raise and mineheads
run. Those would make great little video clips for commons if I can
borrow some sort of decent vid-cam.

What kind of size and colour range are you looking for?
