Courtesy of HP, we will be having dinner on a boat as it travels along showing us different bits of Bristol. Taxis have been arranged by HP to take up from HP Labs to where the boat leaves from (which is very close to Radisson hotel if people want to get changed or drop off bags). This dinner will also be attended by some local dignitaries from HP, Bristol City Council and some local initiatives. They are interested it hearing more about what Wikimedia is doing around the world and in telling us about what they are going. There should be some interesting conversation. Be sure to thank HP and the Council for their sponsorship of the summit!
After the Conference session ends at 6pm, taxis have been arranged by HP Labs to take delegates back from HP Labs to town, near to both the hotel and where the boat leaves from (which is very close to Radisson hotel if people want to get changed or drop off bags). This 2 hour round trip along the river is an opportunity to see some of the best of Bristol and also includes drinks and dinner all free, courtesy of HP Labs' sponsorship. There will be a number of local dignitaries from HP Labs, Bristol City Council, the Open Source community, schools, community initiatives and the Universities in the City. They are interested in an exchange of ideas and in building closer ties with Wikimedia, therefore they'd be interested in hearing more about what Wikimedia is doing around the world. They'd also want to take the opportunity to explain what they are doing in terms of innovation, education, technology etc.. There should be lots of interesting conversation. Wikimedia UK is looking to build closer links with potential content donors in a town that is a thriving media, innovation and technology hub. Your experience and help in building closer links will prove invaluable.
