Basically because they called my number, after Mike Peel put them onto me. So I supply backup for WMUK as needed in practice. I'm in London (Newsnight is recorded at TV Centre), Mike's in Manchester, Andrew's in Nottingham ... Before WMUK at all, I was a press volunteer for WMF, and still am. That's the capacity I do press in. > Maybe it is time to tell the press and get some people from the current > board some airtime, i.e free publicity and establishing some involved board > memebers. More and more has been done by current WMUK people, which is good as it takes load off me! But once your number's in the media's address books, your phone will ring forever. Alison still gets calls too ... - d. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
