A story tells you of two friends, were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other in the face. The other one that got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything wrote in the sand. " Today my best friend slapped me in the face." They kept on walking until they found a oasis, where they decided to bathe. The one who had been slapped, got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the drowning, He wrote on a stone, "Today my best friend saved my life." The friend who slapped and saved his friend,asked him. After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you wrote on stone,Why ? The other friend replied, "When someone hurts us we should write in sand, where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone, where no wind can ever erase it." Learn to write your hurts in sand and to carve your benefits in stone. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Send this story to the people you'll never forget. If you do not send it to anyone, it means you're in a hurry and that you have forgotten your friends. Take the time to live ! Do not value the things you have in life, but value who you have in your life.

Our Annual General Meeting 2010 will be held on Saturday 24th April at the University of London Students' Union. Please come along to hear what we have managed to achieve and help us plan our activities for the future.

The AGM will run alongside the "Open Knowledge Conference" (OKCON), an interdisciplinary conference now in its fifth year that brings together individuals from across the open knowledge spectrum for a day of presentations and workshops. At this year's conference, Wikimedia UK will be supporting and organising a track dedicated to the projects and communities central to Wikimedia.

Agenda

The Open Knowledge Conference will start from 10am. The AGM will run from 2pm to 4pm. The agenda was:

  1. Annual Report and Accounts
  2. Election of the new board, including hustings (you can also ask the candidates questions and cast your ballot before the AGM)
  3. Voting on the administrative motions
    1. Creating a new class of membership for Member Organisations with two votes each
      • Amending the motion to grant only one vote each
    2. Setting the fees for Member Organisations at £100 per year
    3. Reducing the fees for Individual Members to £5 per year
    4. Allowing the Board to waive membership fees in individual cases
    5. Appointing the people elected under the Election Rules as directors

You will need to be a member to vote in the election and vote on the motions. If you aren't a member already, then you can join now!
