Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Metropolitan police images

[Chris McKenna]

Thanks for that Andy, at the very least this is a good start and it has the
advantage of being a good thing in its own right if it doesn't develop any
further.

[Wikimediauk-l] Metropolitan police images

[Andy Mabbett]

I've been in correspondence with London's Metropolitan Police] over
the last few months, discussing the possibility of them open-licensing
some of their images - not least the scenic (as opposed to
scene-of-crime) pictures taken from their helicopters, and/ or images
posted to their social media accounts.

They have decided that they so not wish to do so on a blanket basis,
but say that they are willing to consider requests to do so for images
in an individual basis. You may send requests to:

[Wikimediauk-l] Two special workshops before Wikimania.

[Jon Davies]

Hello fellow Wikimedians,

*Two special events just before Wikimania aimed at spreading good practice.*

 *Governance workshop 7th of August.*

Based on the successful board training workshop held in March this year, we
are organising another such workshop, this time coinciding with Wikimania
here in London. This workshop will be based on the successful March
training workshop, with largely the same material covered. It's intended
for people who are (or will shortly be) board members of Chapters or
Thematic Organisations. This session is planned for 7 August 2014, i.e. as
a pre-meeting to Wikimania.

For more details, including a provisional agenda and registration link,
please go to <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Boards_training_workshop_August_2014>.
Places are strictly limited, on a first come first served basis.

*Train the Trainers - two day course. 4th and 5th of August*

We are also hosting an international version of our successful  'Train the
trainers' workshop which we've advertised to you previously. The
application deadline for a place there is Sunday 15 June. More information
and registration is at <
https://donate.wikimedia.org.uk/civicrm/event/info?id=68&reset=1>. Don't
miss out on a place, especially if you have previously indicated an
interest in attending but have not yet registered.

Hope to see many of you in London in August,

Katie

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Royal Society events - editors/helpers needed, June 7th & 13th

[Edward Hands]

John

Thanks for the reminder.  I've signed up via Eventbrite for this 
Saturday.  Probably can't do Friday 13th.


best wishes
Edward Hands

Hi all,

My last two big events as WiR at the Royal Society are:

a) Next Saturday morning 10.30-1.30 there is - 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Royal_Society/Neuroscience_Wikipedia_Edit-a-thon_at_the_Royal_Society,_June_2014 
(Eventbrite link there) , which despite efforts to avoid a clash, has 
ended up clashing with the Wikimania prequel Open culture Barbican 
event, AND a WMUK board meeting. A small event, but classy - no 
training, just neurologists and Wikipedians editing together.


b) The following Friday 13th, 
http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/royal-society-research-fellows-wikipedia-training-tickets-11674467647 
- for the early/mid career Research Fellows, not actual FRSs: "Those 
of you at this year's Induction Day in February will have seen John 
Byrne, the Royal Society's Wikimedian-in-Residence, talking about the 
training he planned to offer, with various options. In the light of 
the feedback received we are offering this session that will combine 
the options, as this was most popular. There will a hands-on 
introduction to basic Wikipedia editing, so please bring a laptop (a 
few will be available if this is impossible). There will also be 
suggestions on how to maintain contact with the Wikipedia community in 
your field, and give them some access to your expertise, all at a low 
time-cost to you. Helpers will be on hand during the editing training, 
and places are limited, so please apply soon." Actually there is a 
possibility this date may change.


Email me re either, or apply on Eventbrite for the 7th (not Eventbrite 
for the 13th please),


Thanks,

John

[Wikimediauk-l] Fwd: Info: BBC Andrew Marr show this morning

[Fæ]

For those that did not catch Jimmy Wales' interview on the The Andrew
Marr Show earlier this morning, you can catch it on IPlayer. It is 20
minutes in and lasts for 7 minutes.[1]

The meat of the interview is about Jimmy's advice to Google about
potential censorship of biographic material in Europe, with some
discussion of Snowden.

Marr closes with a promotion of the New Statesman debate "Secrets and
Lies: Should we know how far surveillance goes?" at King's College on
Tuesday this week with Jimmy as one of the panellists (tickets
£15!).[2]
