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. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:MartinPoulter/Tales_of_Evaluation 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? -- Dr Martin L Poulter Wikipedia contributor http://enwp.org/User:MartinPoulter Volunteer, Wikimedia UK http://wikimedia.org/wiki/User:MartinPoulter <http://uk.wikimedia.org/> Musician http://soundcloud.com/martin-poulter http://myspace.com/comapilot Person http://infobomb.org/ _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediauk-l(a)wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: https://wikimedia.org.uk
