[Wikimediauk-l] Volunteer Strategy Gathering 1 Data
Hi all, Happy Wikipedia Day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Day! The raw data from the post-it notes which John Cummings kindly got people to fill out is available at this google document: Volunteer Strategy Gathering 1 Data https://docs.google.com/a/wikimedia.org.uk/spreadsheets/d/1MutXIjzqWf0GUgE7blv5oa2g5j-gu_cgi4jc_d2ipZY/edit#gid=343921556 I have coded these responses, principally through the use of colour and upload to commons, see the galleries on Volunteer Strategy Gathering/November 2014/Data https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Volunteer_Strategy_Gathering/November_2014/Data. Coding is always somewhat subjective so if people want to adopt another approach, the raw data is available. I am working in preparation for the Volunteer Strategy Gathering 2 https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Volunteer_Strategy_Gathering/February_2015 about which more details will be available soon. However, I would encourage everyone to look at the ideas which are coming up and think how they would like to contribute to the shaping of the second gathering. Please contribute to the wiki or contact me by email, phone etc. all the best Fabian Tompsett, Volunteer Support Organiser, Wikimedia UK, Address: 56-64 Leonard St, Shoreditch, London EC2A 4LT Phone:020 7065 0990 *Mobile: *07840 455 746 Wikimedia UK is a Company Limited by Guarantee registered in England and Wales, Registered No. 6741827.

If only this list was read by their interior designers and not by their Wikimedian in Residence I'm just saying that if anyone wants to take photos there they should probably take their own weight in flash units. They've got some nice stuff. The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railton_Special and the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smethwick_Engine for example. Their stuff on steel cut jewelry would be useful for filling in some of the gaps on wikipedia.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikipedian in Residence, Thinktank, Birmingham
Andy, Sounds like another interesting role. Is there a relationship between Thinktank and At-Bristol (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-Bristol )? Would it be an opportunity to encourage them to consider to go down a similar road?
