[Wikimediauk-l] GLAM-WIKI 2012 - registration now open!
Dear all, I am pleased to announce that registration is now open for the GLAM-WIKI 2012 conference, to be held at the British Library in London on 14th - 16th September 2012. The conference will feature two days of presentations and workshops, with the Friday focused on the work Wikimedia and similar organisations have done in partnership with cultural institutions, presenting case studies and discussing the benefits to both parties. The Saturday will be oriented more towards the practical and technical side, looking at ways to work together and running workshops to share best practice. The third day, Sunday 16th, will be an unconference day, with the focus and agenda determined by the attendees on the day. We are currently taking proposals for talks, workshops and panel sessions, on three broad themes: * Open content in the GLAM sector * Developing sustainable partnerships * New models and future projects The call for papers will close on 23rd July, and the schedule will be announced on 30th July. Registration is now open at: http://glamwiki2012.eventbrite.co.uk/ and accomodation details will be released at a later date when hotel arrangements are confirmed. More details, and the call for papers, are at http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM-WIKI_2012 If you have any questions, please contact g...@wikimedia.org.uk -- - Andrew Gray andrew.g...@dunelm.org.uk ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

My particular train of though at the moment surrounded the establishment (re-establishment, IIRC) of a student society suitable for Wikimedians in Oxford. So yes :) On Fri, Jun 22, 2012 at 11:17 AM, Richard Symonds wrote: > > PS: Does this mean we might be having Oxford vs Cambridge editing contests > in the future? If all goes well, yes. The establishment of a society would also help ensure participation in inter-collegiate competitions.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Oxford Wikimedians
If it's any help, we do have about 500 donors from the city of Oxford, and there are also members of WMUK from Oxford. I can't tell you who they are, but if you're planning an event or something similar, I can email them and ask them to contact you?

[Wikimediauk-l] Oxford Wikimedians
Hey all, I can't believe I haven't asked this before, but are any lurkers on this list either (a) members of the University of Oxford (b) offer-holders from the University of Oxford? Or does anyone know any Wikimedians who fit either of those descriptions but aren't on this list? (Feel free to message me offlist in either case.) It might also be useful in future to know if there are any active Wikimedians currently studying at Oxford Brookes.
