Train the Trainers consultation - reminder

http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Training/Consultation

(We have re-named this page as it may have been a little lost amongst all the other pages.)

I am looking at how the Train the Trainers project has worked so far and would welcome comments.

Those who have been through it will be asked to fill in an additional survey that will form part of the report.

I will then be reporting to the July Board meeting.

Thanks,

Jon

Well done everyone

“One is most amused” – Queen Victoria’s Journals editathon
Queen Victoria

This post was written by Liz McCarthy, Communications and Social Media Officer for the Bodleian Libraries, Oxford

‘This book, Mamma gave me, that I might write the journal of my journey to Wales in it.’ So began the young Victoria in 1832, beginning a lifelong habit – and providing fodder for researchers around the world.

As Communications and Social Media Officer for the Bodleian Libraries, it was my job to find ways to get the word out and help our audiences engage with the Queen Victoria’s Journals project. The project, a collaborative effort between the Bodleian Libraries, the Royal Archives and information company ProQuest, has made Queen Victoria’s diaries available online.

The Bodleian Libraries communications team had already begun to consider how we might create stronger links with the Wikipedia community – we’ve been chatting to Wikipedians in Residence and working with local editors to improve collection-related content. Engaging with the Wikipedia community seemed like a great way to put the Journals material to use as well as to help us develop relationships with Wikipedians in the area, and we decided to run a Queen Victoria’s Journals editathon to coincide with the anniversary of Queen Victoria’s birthday on 24 May.

The project’s timing meant that we had a very short window in which to organise an event, but we went ahead. We quickly pulled together some promotional material and got curators lined up for the day, then spent about two and half weeks promoting the event. The help of Wikimedia UK was crucial in getting the word out and making sure everything was set up correctly, but we also advertised within the University and to various Victorian research groups.

Call out - Volunteer with mark up editing skills to help design a portal!

Hi all, 

I'm working on an ongoing basis to develop our introduction/induction process for new members. 

Some of you may have been in the mini-session I led at the AGM asking for feedback/ideas on this very topic. One valuable insight that came out of that was that we have two broad groups we want to attract to volunteering opportunities - including membership - in the Chapter; those who have edited before and those who have not. 

One idea I'm exploring is reformulating the currently separate sections on the UK Wiki on 'Volunteering' and 'Join us' into a 'Volunteer portal' which brings together these resources underneath an introductory landing page which directs people to further information based on whether they have editing experience. Sadly however my lack of experience working with complex templates, and lack of time to get up to speed to deliver this myself is proving an obstacle. 

What I would love is if some wonderful person/persons could offer a few hours of their time in the next fortnight to work with me on internal wiki to develop a portal template we can then move onto the UK wiki when the content to compliment it is ready - again, I'm drafting the content for new members on the UK wiki, and welcome input from anyone who has time or inclination. 

Drop me a line if you think you can help (or indeed, reply here!) I understand that there are probably many of you who *could* do this but might struggle to find the time in the next few weeks :)

Presentation upload and photos from the WikiConference 2013

Dear all,

A category has been created on Commons which all the presenters at the WikiConference 2013 can upload their presentations to, if they so desire. The category is located at: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:WikiConference_UK_2013_presentations

There is also a more general category where people can upload any photos they have taken. As usual, please check for the presence of the round, coloured stickers on the name badges of every person in all photos you upload; the presence of coloured stickers indicates that that person does not wish for photos of them to be published publicly. The category is located at: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:WikiConference_UK_2013

Best wishes,
Dan (Deskana)

Thanks. Github is one of many. So it fits, but so many other software
suits and frameworks, going back a decade or two.

For example, Usenet?

And, I must mention FLICKR, if only to gain some exposure, even if a
little off topic:-)

I have used FLICKR both as an online repository. But like Geocities,
some thing has changed in the  past few weeks (Yahoo being a common
factor!!!)...

I have 28,000 images. I have tags and organised a large proportion, and
used the images in other projects. I have contributed many of my own
images to Wikimedia Commons. Images from FLICKR have been added by bots
as well.

I "moved" a community to FLICKR that did not do well as a Mediawiki. But
thrived on FLICKR.

Compare:

http://deadpubssociety.org.uk/index.php/List

http://deadpubssociety.org.uk/

with

http://www.flickr.com/groups/deadpubssociety/ (over 7,000 images)

I am also active in other "online community" groups on FLICKR. But that
has all changed with the past few weeks, with the new FLICKR which
promotes the image and obfuscates the semantics of the data.

Re: Wikimediauk-l Digest, Vol 95, Issue 9

Gordo;

It means designers of online communities; people who design digital spaces for group interaction. This is a large and active area of study, and Wikipedia is an interesting example because not only is it active and well populated but the participants have created something of enormous value. Imagine if World of Warcraft did the same.

Github is a digital space based around Git. Why don't you think it fits?

Hi all,

Now that the Wikimedia UK AGM is over, there’s a couple of other important
elections going on within the Wikimedia movement. The Wikimedia Foundation
is electing three (3) community members to its Board of Trustees, the
ultimate governing authority of the Wikimedia Foundation. In addition, the
community is also electing two (2) members to the Funds Dissemination
Committee (FDC) and also the FDC Ombudsperson.

You can find more information on all of this, including the candidate
statements, ask the candidate questions, list of eligibility requirements
for voters and information on how to vote on <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_2013>.

As the work of the Foundation Board of Trustees impacts the ways the
movement pursuit its goals, and the FDC are involved in the grants making
process which the chapter was involved in last year and expects to be again
this year, I would encourage as many of you as possible to take an interest
and vote in these elections.

Katie

Hi all,

A quick reminder/notification (as appropriate!) about two upcoming
events in London this month:

* Royal Opera House editathon, 22 June
* WWI workshop, British Library, 29 June

The Royal Opera House event will be focusing on the ballets of Sir
Frederick Ashton, one of the UK's most prominent choreographers:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Ballet/Royal_Opera_House_editathon

The British Library event will be a chance to use some of the newly

Congratulations to the new trustees. Here's hoping for a happy and productive year. And hopefully the unsuccessful candidates will keep in touch - it would be good to have them all on board, but there are only so many seats.

I'll second Chris as well and say thank you to all the speakers, the attendees, our wonderful staff (especially Daria and Katie who were so helpful with the AGM), and my colleagues on the Conference Committee, all of whom helped make the conference a success.

Hello everyone,

As you may know, Wikimedia UK held its AGM yesterday in Lincoln. This included elections for trustees to serve on the Board of the charity. 

You can find details of the elected candidates on our blog at http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2013/06/wikimedia-uk-announces-election-of-new-board-members/

Many thanks to all candidates, both successful and unsuccessful, for taking part. 

Thanks and regards,

Stevie

That would be a good thing.

I looked at the page "Online Community Designers" and wondered what that
meant?

https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Online_Community_Designers

Does the phrase mean "Online Community" Designers or "Online" Community
Designers?

Also, not sure how Github fits...... I prefer to use RCS or even SCCS.
But then I am old school!

YMMV,

Hello!

The Conference Committee is planning to meet (remotely - online or by
phone) hopefully before the end of the month. Of particular interest to
many of you will be the review of WikiConference UK 2013 and the
discussion of the 2014 AGM (this is where those green forms I forced you
to fill in on the day will come in handy, so we're very much obliged to
everyone who filled one in). We'll also be discussing EduWiki and
Wikimania, so it's an exciting agenda (or at least as exciting as
committee meeting get!).

If you have thoughts on the 2013 AGM, please do add them at
https://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_UK_2013/Lessons or email
them to me if you're not comfortable with wikis and/or want to speak in
confidence. If you spot something missing from the agenda, add it to
https://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Conference_Committee/Planning_meeting_10#AOB.

Everybody is welcome (I will email this list with details when they're
known); if you'd lie to take part in the Doodle poll to decide the date,
please email me. Likewise with any other questions or comments.

Thanks,
