The recent work towards a system for paying for people to attend
conferences is the start of such a scheme. We can't extend it until we
have some general funds, but once we do it would be a good thing.

> b) A workshop for "strategy planning"

Worth scheduling something like that for OKCON/the AGM.

Hi all,

The next WMUK board meeting will be at the London Wikimeet, at  
Pendrel's Oak in Holborn, on the 11th October. You can find  
information about the wikimeet at:
	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/London_26
and the agenda for the board meeting is being developed at:
	http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetings/2009-10-11/Agenda

The aim is to have a fairly informal meeting of the board - more of  
an away day than a board meeting - to focus on the broad overview  
rather than the day-to-day details, and also so that we can all get  
to know each other better (IRC is very impersonal).

I'm not sure what the interaction will be with the wikimeet - whether  
the two are effectively merged together, or completely seperate, or  
somewhere in between. We (i.e., anyone that is present) will probably  
decide on what's most suitable on the day. Thoughts/comments on this  
would be greatly appreciated.

Board members: please confirm whether or not you'll be attending on  
the agenda. Please also add points as you want to the agenda (that  
applies generally, not just to board members).

The next IRC-based meeting will be on the 20th October, and will  
focus on initiatives; the agenda for this is at:
	http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetings/2009-10-20/Agenda

Thanks,
Mike

We have been approached by Wikimedia France who are organising, with the Wikimedia Foundation, a project
meeting for the Usability Project in early November - see email below.

They have offered to fund the travel and accommodation of a UK-based person who is active in Wikimedia technology.

Is anyone on this list interested in attending? If so, please could you email me offlist with brief details
of your technical experience on Wikimedia.

Many thanks

Subject: [Chapters] Multimedia Usability Project Meeting in France - Call for participation 

Dear fellow chapter people, 

Wikimedia France and the Wikimedia Foundation are organizing a meeting 
in Paris on November 6-8, which is meant to find its place within the 
Ford Grant about usability on Commons. 

We have already about 25 participants confirmed, and we potentially 
have a few spaces left. I would like to ask you if you knew of anyone 
within the community who would be interested and useful to participate 
in the meeting. Some of the chapters are already participating by 
sending people, from the chapter and/or community (Wikimedia 
Nederland, Wikimedia Polska, Wikimedia Australia, Wikimedia 
Deutschland) and maybe we've missed people who are within your 
"community of choice" and who would bring lots to the meeting. 

... 

You will find more info about the meeting here: 
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Multimedia_Usability_Project_Meeting_France 

Thank you for your help, 

Best, 

Delphine

Not just along side. Not just added to the list because we are too big
to ignore. No. At the front. They've been saying stuff for a while but
we've generally only been mentioned in passing. We should be fairly
safe. We build from many sources but I don't like our position on the
list. Do they think to target us directly?

This is consistent with AP's internal memo:

We had free beer. We had talks. But no pizza....

Plans for November and December (first Wednesday of the month).

Not January, and then in February 2010.
