Board interest meeting

The next Board elections will be taking place at the Annual Conference 2011 in April. The current Wikimedia UK board is eager to share its experiences from the last year with those interested in standing for the Board in the coming year. This 2 hour, informal meeting is aimed at discussing those experiences, and answering the questions and concerns of those thinking about standing.

Community discussion meeting

Wikimedia UK is currently undergoing huge growth, enabled by the annual Fundraiser. Plans for the coming financial year are being set out via the 2011 Budget. The Wikimedia UK board feels that it is important to ensure that the whole of the community is behind the direction the chapter is undertaking over the coming year. This direction will be reported at the AGM, however discussion prior to this would be beneficial.

Agenda:

1. Introductions - who's who in the room
2. Outline of the current plans for the coming year
   1. Staff and office (Mike?)
   2. Projects (Andrew?)
