[Wikimediauk-l] Wikimania bid - time to make a decision
We are running out of time to make a decision about which Wikimania bid to take forward. Please see my proposed timetable here: http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimania_bid#Right.2C_time_to_make_a_decision If you have any objections to it, please post them on that page in the next 48 hours. ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

At what time? During the run up and during the conference or does
just during the conference count?
It might be a good idea to contact everybody on the list, and ask
them such questions. The sign page could be archived, and replaced
with a time based plan of commitment, for example.
There are many phases of this project, and many skills that would
help. And also, as with anything, just people required to do stuff...
Bid, get the bid, plan, plan, plan some more, execute (drink beer
here) and after care.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikimania Bid - Local Team
It would also be good if those of us who are listed as the local team
could note our relevant experience. Of course, people can still be
part of team without any relevant experience, but if members of the
team have organised events, negotiated contracts, worked on publicity
or technical set-up, etc, I'm sure the panel will be very keen to
know.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikimania Bid - Local Team
I am a global media anaysis consultant for dow jones. Working with top lline
global clients. Am keen to help the wiki team both as a team member and as a
contact outside who may be able to introduce the team to potential sponsors. Am
currently trying to set up a chat with klm on this subject and have interest
internally inside dow jones as a potential sponsor.
I am working on developing both opportunities and will report back if
successful.
I have a cv style profile on linked in. Feel free to use my work experience in
any way you wish to develop and raise the chances of success for the oxford
bid.
Best to the team
Steve

On-wiki or on-list (or both?)
I have extensive experience in technical management, whether it be for sound /
lighting equipment on stages, or computer networks (through wifi, etc) in my
capacities as an IT Technician for a 1500 pupil secondary school. I am,
therefore, willing to help out in any way I can in these respects, and anywhere
else I can possibly get involved!

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikimania Bid - Local Team
Hi, 2009/4/2 joseph seddon life_is_bitter_sw...@hotmail.co.uk: Following the IRC meeting, it was recommended by the Jury that we try and differentiate between our supporters and the local team of volunteers. I know that many people have offered thier assistance and are willing volunteer but we need to make it clear how many volunteers there are. If you will be willing to Volunteer in some way please indicate here http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2010/Bids/Oxford/Team. Could you define local team a bit better? I'm in the UK, and in fact I'll be at Oxford University from October (assuming I don't utterly mess up my exams) so I intend to volunteer for physical assistance at the actual conference should the bid be successful. But I'm not sure if this is precisely what you mean by local team since I'm not there yet and haven't been properly involved in the bid thus far.

2009/3/31 Cormac Lawler cormag...@gmail.com: My one observation of a weakness is accommodation - why can we not be sure of which college(s) we'll be using? Is there any chance of getting provisional booking? Sorry if this has been discussed before, and for leaving it so late to point out. Yes, that is a weakness. It basically comes from people not having enough time. Hopefully we'll get something a little more specific soon. ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

[Wikimediauk-l] Wikimania bid IRC meeting
Apparently, there is an IRC meeting to discuss the wikimania bid (in #wikimania-oxford) at 8:30 tonight. I only know this because I saw it in the chapter website's sidebar (and got the time from the IRC channel topic) - there doesn't seem to have been an email about it (unless I missed it). So, here is an email! There are lots of tasks (mostly small) that still need to be done, so as many people turning up as possible would be great. See you all there! ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
