Hello everyone,
I wonder if there's anyone able to help me please. I'm trying to convert a
.pdf file to a .djvu file but my converter hates me and doesn't work. I
wonder if there's anyone on this list who might be able to convert a file
for me please?
Any help gratefully received!
Stevie

Hello everyone,
It's approaching the time where we need to publish the Wikimedia UK monthly
activity report for February. If you've been involved in any activities
with, or on behalf of, Wikimedia UK and would like to publicise your
efforts please do get involved. You can see the activity report at
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Reports/2013/February
We're also working on the content for our annual review. There's a basic
structure in place and we'd love for as much of the community as possible
to be involved in creating the document. There's several sections to the
report but the main landing page is at
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/2013_Annual_Report
Thanks and regards,
Stevie

Please forgive my pathetic imitation of Kitchener!
Wikimedia UK's
Conference Committee (that is, the committee responsible for the annual
conference and, nominally, the Wikimania bid) is in need of volunteers.
In particular, we need people to help with putting together the
programme for the annual conference at the moment. If you are
interested, please drop me a line at this address.
While I'm here, it's
a good excuse to remind you that we are still accepting talk submissions
for said annual conference:

Hello everyone,
I write to let you know that Daria Cybulska, Wikimedia UK's Events
Organiser, presented at the Women of the World Festival in London this past
weekend. She spoke about why it's important that women engage with
Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.
She did an excellent job and has written a blog post about the event. It
can be seen at
http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2013/03/wikimedia-uk-and-the-women-of-the-worl…
I'd also suggest taking a look at her Prezi

Thanks and regards,

Dear all,
I have just created a page with details of draft changes to the Articles of
Association for the EGM planned for April 13th.
These are drafted to cover the two Governance Review recommendations that
would most affect the conduct of the AGM in June, i.e. the changes to the
size of the Board and extending the Board to include co-opted Trustees.
They also cover a proposal to change the voting system by which elected
trustees are elected, which has been a long-running issue (and ought to
have been sorted out last September; sadly more important governance issues
got in the way).
Obviously it will be for the membership to decide whether to accept or
reject these particular recommendations but it would be great if you could
review the draft amendments at this stage.
Please do read, consider and comment, here:
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/EGM_2013/Draft_Resolutions
And if anyone ever wants to know where we are at with the implementation of
the Governance Review, there is a handy table, here:

Many thanks,
Chris Keating

Hello everyone,
Jimmy Wales gave Wikimedia UK a big show of support this week. Speaking at

You can read our blog post, and see a video of his presentation, at

Indeed. We've never had more than 250 members, not all of whom edit,
though of course most do. As part of their role the board have to try
to judge what the non-member community would like rather than just the
members or those posting here & on the WMUK site. And as this list shows
(how many members does it have?), the community actively interested in
WMUK & irl activities generally is a smallish group - when an informal
census was done it came to about 80, which seems about right - who are
often over-stretched. This is one of WMUK's biggest problems, which we
haven't had much success improving in the last two years. I'm not sure
how much the membership en masse want to "lead" frankly, let alone the
community.

A "member-led" organisation - imagine that? In simple terms, an
organisation that trusts the 5,000-strong UK Wikimedia community more
than a handful of people who currently sit on the board.
