Andy, Sounds like another interesting role. Is there a relationship between Thinktank and At-Bristol (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-Bristol )?

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikipedian-in-Residence summit
Good morning everybody, Daria and I are puzzled as to why a small internal meeting gained the status of a 'summit'!It was part of the analysis we are doing particularly with regard to the UK sponsored WiR posts and one of a series of processes. It involved people who had been paid by WMUK or closely involved in that proocess looking at the particular issues that brings up. We fully expect Andy and everyone to be involved through the consultation and in particular we are planning a day event (it was provisionally May 24 but we are not sure of the date yet, it is likely to slip into June).

Hi Jon, I'm confused - how can it be a 'small internal meeting' that also includes people that aren't 'internal' to the WMUK office?

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikipedian-in-Residence summit
Internal is the sense that it was staff and people who had been/are employed as WiR plus one other person who had been heavily involved in the employment and a trustee. When we reviewed Train the Trainers we followed a similar model of small groups, individual interviews etc. This was part of the process. The weekend as this was the only day that worked for the group as a whole. I hope that explains it and that we will encourage Andy and everyone to continue to participate in this review.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikipedian-in-Residence summit
Thanks for your answers on this Jon. Nice to see you engaging with volunteers. I seem to be left to answer my own question. I have to assume an on-wiki page does not exist. The charity and the board of trustees is 100% committed to transparency and staying volunteer-centric. To demonstrate that is still the case today, I see no reason why the minutes of this important weekend meeting should not now be promptly published on-wiki. I am taken aback that there was a review of Train the Trainers. As an unpaid volunteer Lead Trainer I would expect to be informed or invited to contribute. Why do we know nothing about it? Thanks for confirming this meeting existed with the members of the charity Jon, I am sure you have no interest in keeping the details of who went and why they were chosen an unnecessary secret. This is the sort of leadership on transparency that our CEO needs at his core, preferably to avoid these questions ever occuring. Fae.

It involved people who had been paid by WMUK or closely involved in that proocess looking at the particular issues that brings up. We fully expect Andy and everyone to be involved through the consultation and in particular we are planning a day event (it was provisionally May 24 but we are not sure of the date yet, it is likely to slip into June).

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikipedian-in-Residence summit
Oh dear, I seem to have started this by referring flippantly to the meeting as a summit in an email to Ed Saperia about the early-June Barbican event, which I cc'd to Andy as he has signed up on the page for that. The term was entirely my own invention for that email, and not used by anyone before or during the event. I must say I assumed during the meeting, without asking, that Andy had been invited but couldn't make it. I think we would have benefited from his presence. The meeting did not cover Train the Trainers in much detail at all (while I was there; I missed the start), except in terms of talking about the trainers and helpers available to WiR's for training events. It was a useful SWOT-based discussion on the issues we all face, sharing experiences. Sorry to have stirred all this up. John --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

See: * https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Wikimedian_in_Residence_draft_job_description * https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/File:Example_WiR_agreement.pdf I believe several JDs from around the world have been published, it would be useful to add them to the GLAM wiki. Unfortunately the WMUK example of an agreement has gradually become more bureaucratic over time so I could not recommend it as best practice. The first agreements I created for GLAM projects/WIRs were 2 or 3 friendly pages explaining how reporting and responsibilities would work and not intended to be a contract that needed to have an institution review by its lawyers. This approach tends to be a sticking point when negotiating a GLAM project, particularly when the level of finds being spent may be a few hundred rather than a few thousand quid.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikipedian in Residence
@Doug (W): sorry, I usually sign myself as Rexx on this list to avoid confusion, but I believe I forgot to this time. @Richard (New): Romaine is a GLAM volunteer from WMNL who speaks good English and subscribes to the Wikimedia GLAM collaboration [Public] list, which Mike cc'd his post to. It is most likely that Romaine saw Mike's message on the WM GLAM list but replied to our WMUK-L list. Not being a member, the software held up Romaine's post until somebody released it six days later (after the deadline had passed to which it referred). I was merely commenting that such delays were unfortunate and hoping that we could avoid them in future.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikipedian in Residence: Staffordshire Archive Heritage Service
'heritage service' is a bureaucratic way of saying they manage the county's museums. On 31 October 2012 15:51, Lodewijk lodew...@effeietsanders.org wrote: Hi Andy, thanks a lot for the announcement. Please forgive me the lazy and perhaps silly question, but what exactly does ' heritage service' in this context refer to? I'm not looking for an elaborate definition, but rather whether it is primarily physical stored heritage (small objects), buildings or intangible heritage. Thanks, Lodewijk 2012/10/31 Andy Mabbett a...@pigsonthewing.org.uk [note cross-posting] I am pleased to share with you the news that I shall be Wikipedian in Residence with Staffordshire Archive Heritage Service, here in the English Midlands, from mid-November (part-time). This is a pilot project. I will be working with number of Staffordshire museums, to increase staff awareness of Wikipedia, train them to edit, and make recommendations for future public engagement (e.g. editathons), as well as planning a larger project to follow. I shall create a Wikipedia project page once I am in post. Naturally, I hope that the use of QRpedia, and the release of some media under an open licence, will feature. I hope you share my pleasure in looking forward to this promising project. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
