Hi Jon, I've left some comments on the talk page. [1] I found your comment that Wikimedia UK has been inhibited by An Animal Farm culture of ‘Volunteers good, staff bad outrageous. That's never been the case, as is clearly demonstrated by the fact that we have staff rather than being an entirely volunteer-based organisation. Please can you either provide evidence to back up your statement here, or apologise for it.

With a bit of talent and application, it could be made to last to, what, Sunday evening?

Of course the CE of WMUK doesn't have to apologise to you for his opinion, one he is paid to have and to express; or for outraging you. If he'd like to clarify why he holds it, that's another matter. It is not the way I would have put the point he is trying to make, but then we all have somewhat different perspectives. Indeed, we all have different, partially obstructed views, as they say when trying to sell dodgy theatre tickets.

[Wikimediauk-l] AGM
Hi, I was doubting if it would be worth to miss other sessions (one of which facilitated by me) to join the WMUK agm this weekend, but I couldn't find an email announcing the final agenda with prepared motions etc. I was curious, is such an announcement towards the membership forthcoming, or did I miss something? I know it is probably somewhere on the wiki, but this kind of information would by me be very much appreciated in a push format rather than pull :) Best, Lodewijk ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: https://wikimedia.org.uk

Hi Lodewijk, I've sent four emails and a pack in the post...

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] AGM
Might it be that for some reason I did not receive those? I do remember seeing email a while ago (checked: 27 June), when things were preliminary etc, but don't recall anything recent with the final agenda etc? And definitely not four. And don't recall a post package either (but living outside the UK that might be an exception). If you could send me the dates/topics/sender I could check my archives and spam though. Anyway, if it was just me then too bad of course. Apologies if for some reason I overlooked.
