[Wikimediauk-l] Wikipedia Science Conference, 2nd and 3rd September 2015

2015-02-19 Thread Fabian Tompsett
Hi all,

Planning is going ahead for this autumn's Wikipedia Science Conference.
Weare keen to build community involvement into this from the outset.

There is new Planning subpage
https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Wikipedia_Science_Conference/Planning where
you can help shape this conference and catch up on volunteer opportunities
in the run up to the conference itself.

This conference has great potential in bringing together both Wikimedians
and scientists to discover the common ground which will make future
colloboration so exciting.


all the best

 So closer to the station than the regular meetups.

 I have only just heard about this. Someone from ContentMine will be there,
 and I'll go along. The event runs from 11:30 to 5 pm.

 (ContentMine will also be represented that day in a Birmingham event: they
 are the people scraping facts from scientific journals. There are 60+
 events worldwide.)

[Wikimediauk-l] chief executive recruitment

2015-02-19 Thread Simon Knight
Dear all



Things are moving along with the Chief Executive recruit process - Just a
reminder: The deadline for applications is February 23rd.


We are continuing to discuss the format of the selection process, one
element of which will be a short (likely ~10 minute) presentation.



** *I’d like to invite suggestions for presentation-prompts here ***



We have some ideas of course, but I think people had conversations very
relevant to this at the volunteer strategy day in Birmingham.  I can build
off some of the thoughts there for ideas, but others may be feeling more
creative, or have better memories(!).  So, thoughts welcome,



Many thanks


Simon
