[Wikimediauk-l] Expense Claims

[Richard Symonds]

All,

Our Financial year has just ended (or begun?), so I'd appreciate it if any
outstanding expenses that date from before 31 January get to me before 10
February - ie, by the beginning of next week.

You can use the expense claim for at
https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Expenses_claim_form to make the claim, then
either email it directly to me (with scans of the receipts), or put the
whole lot in an envelope to 'FREEPOST WIKIPEDIA'.

All the best,

Richard Symonds

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] [Wikimedia-l] Have your say on Wikimedia UK's strategy

[Simon Knight]

Because it was written independently and is more about me than the general call 
for contributions (although I wanted to highlight that too in case it could 
widen participation).

If it's of general interest it can go on the wmuk blog but it strikes me that 
it lacks wider appeal (I have also jokingly noted that quantity of blogs is a 
KPI for me...fortunately my readership numbers are not). 

Having said that it is no bad thing to have publicity spread across venues. 

I don't mind answering such 'out of interest' questions but I'm not sure they 
need to go to the whole mailing list.

Out of interest, why is Simon's post about WMUK's strategy on his professional 
blog, rather than hosting it directly on WMUK's own blog rather than just a 
redirecting blog post 
?

[Wikimediauk-l] Have your say on Wikimedia UK's strategy

[Stevie Benton]

Hello everyone,

Wikimedia UK's board and staff have been working hard over the last few
months on our new Strategic
Plan,
and we have just released the draft for community consultation. We hope
that the model we have
used
may
be of general interest to the wider wiki community, and we hope that as
many Wikimedians as possible will help us in critiquing and building on it.

The model starts with our Vision and
Values,
and uses those to inform our Mission. Within the Mission, we have
identified five high-level Strategic
Goals that
will help us focus our activities. For each goal, we will be measuring our
ongoing progress against a series of desired outcomes, using numerical
targets where possible and narrative measures where we are unable to track
hard numbers.

This approach should ensure that our day-to-day activities are closely
focused on our Mission, and that our 'distance travelled' charitable impact
can be tracked over the entire five year term of the plan.

Please do get involved in the discussion following the links above. There
is also a page for general feedback and comments
here.
 The consultation period closes on 28 February 2014 with a view to the
board approving the documents at their meeting in March.

You may also be interested in a related blog post by Simon
Knight,
one of the WMUK trustees who has been closely involved in this work.

Thanks in advance for your help,


Stevie

Quick query - given the extensions, have we filed the WMF submission
yet or are we holding off for further comments through February? Not
clear from the meta page...
