...if you can find it ;-)

I've accepted a nomination, by their Regional Programme Manager, to
become a Fellow of the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts,
Manufactures and Commerce. The nomination was “for your work on open

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] WMUK vacancies

[Richard Nevell]

Hi Deryck,

It is very much dependent on when the successful applicant would be able to
start (notice may have to be given to employers and references checked),
but ASAP would be desirable. We hope that decisions on successful
applicants would be made within a week of interview.

[Jon Davies]

*Where will the jobs be?*
Desks available in the London office, certainly in the UK.
I would like the Volunteer support person to be with us as it is so
important to coordinate all our activities.
Nothing set in stone.

[Wikimediauk-l] Interview panels

[Richard Nevell]

We are seeking volunteers from the community to be on the interview panels
for

*Volunteer Support
Organise
**r * 20th
February in London

*GLAM organiser * 21st
February in London
*
Education organise
**r*22nd
February in London

You do not have to be an HR expert, just a member of the community who
cares.  You will be expected to read applications and decide on a
short-list with other members of the panel. This is generally done by email
and phone and support will be given. At the interviews questioning will be
shared and then a decision on who to appoint will be made.  This is an
important process and confidentiality is essential.

Please do not put yourself forward if you or a 'significant other' are
thinking of applying for any of these posts.

Expenses will be paid.

Thanks,
Richard Nevell

[Wikimediauk-l] Last night's Board meeting

[Jon Davies]

Thanks to everyone who contributed to last night's board meeting. This
includes community members who contributed to the 2013 programme planning,
staff who worked so hard on budgets and papers, Saad Choudri who worked to
very tight deadlines to create a Wikimedian in Residence agreement that we
can move forward with and our trustees who worked through a challenging
agenda.

The wonderful news is that we have agreed a budget and programme for next
year. It is not set in stone and we must expect it to evolve, but it means
we can now plan ahead. I am particularly encouraged at the thought of the
three new posts which I believe will make a huge difference to our capacity
engaging volunteers and the community. They will be advertised very shortly
and I encourage community members to apply.

For details see 2013 Activity
Plan

Jon
