I won't be able to make the volunteer strategy meeting tomorrow, sadly. In
case anyone's interested, I've written another of my reflective essays,
this time about evaluation and metrics.

The questions I would have been taking to the event are:
1) When I want Wikimedia UK to support events like the Wikipedia Science
Conference in future, how much advance notice, planning etc. will be needed?
2) We've had situations where a charitable partner has come forward with a
hundred pounds, or a thousand pounds, and volunteer support, to make an
event happen at quite short notice, but we need a bit of staff time to
follow through. Will the project-based way of working present any barriers
to taking those opportunities?
Hopefully some written guides will come out of the day?
