I attended the Cabinet Forum from 26-28 October:

* The workload was significantly more than I had expected - both for Cabinet and for the Workplace Lunches - and I'd like to discuss how we can manage this in the future. {{discuss}}
* I had some useful insights and tips into how the Workplace Learning Lunches seminars should be worded including:
** Links to the "freemium" concept - free basic content, paid-for premium content
** Focus on the "result" being content donation, with the seminar itself just an interim step
** 
* I met some useful contacts including:
** The CEO of a multinational company in Britain who use MediaWiki extensively in their company - we've been invited to visit to see it in action
** Spencer Hyman, founder of lastfm.com who is keen to:
*** Join up, and encourage his contacts who support Wikipedia to do the same
*** Put us in touch with museums for [[Britain Loves Wikipedia]]
*** Put us in touch with media businesses for [[Workplace Learning Lunches]]
** The Director of the Open Rights Group, who I spoke to about encouraging cross-membership and coming to OKCON
* There's an opportunity for us to influence the EU debate on copyright terms as the Spanish Presidency is organising a major conference in March and we may be able to get involved

The company's Annual Return to Companies House is due on 5th November.

I had a letter from an ill person asking for financial support.
