Dear All,
Please see the following page on the UK Wiki which I've created to start a
conversation about a specific element of our donor communications - namely
a regular newsletter.
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/2012_Donor_Newsletter_Review
Please make comments, give advice, express concerns on the discussion page,
and of course feel free to edit the article directly with ideas for content
etc.
I would draw particular attention to the fact I am hoping to design and
distribute a survey that will go out to donors in the coming weeks, with
the express aim of better understanding what they want in hearing from us,
and what they understand about the work of WMUK in relation to WMF and
wikipedia. I would be grateful for suggestions on questions and suitable
online survey tools - you can edit the article to add this directly.
One final things - if you want an opportunity to have a broader chat about
this beyond the discussion page, feel free to call me directly
(07803505172) or email directly.
Many thanks,
Katherine Bavage
Fundraising Organiser
PS Please not my subscription to the list is currently to a personal email

Since Wikimedia Australia have managed to secure press access and
credentials for the Paralympic Games, I've been asked if I could run a
Wikinews workshop in London shortly before the Paralympics.
I'm curious as-to what interest there would be, outwith those from "Down
Under".

Hello everyone,

Do take a look, leave comments and share with your friends!

Hi everyone,
We've been having some discussions with Bold Creative and Demos for some
time, examining how we can work together in our areas of shared interest,
of which there are many.
To this end I've created a short page on the UK wiki -
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Events/Proposal_-_WMUK,_Bold_Creative_and_Demos
- for you to make suggestions, comments and offer ideas.
Please do get involved in the discussions as this could prove to be an
excellent opportunity to have a real influence in areas of importance to
our movement.
Thanks and regards,
Stevie

I welcome this initiative and would be prepared to come up from London on

However, as two people have already said they are unavailable, I would
like confirmation that the meeting will take place, preferably by Friday
lunchtime.

As previously mentioned to the list, I want to do some meetup-lite
events connected with training; and the first will consist of my being
at the CB2 cybercaff in Cambridge from 10 am to 1 pm this Saturday 21
July. This is the same venue as the normal meetups but I'm relying on
word-of-mouth this time - please pass on the news to anyone who might
be interested in the area (WM training, distance education being the
particular new focus).

to walk from the rail station. I'll get a table _upstairs_ at 10 am.
