2014 Activity Plan/Wikimania 2014

Lead member of staff

Katherine Bavage

Indicative budget amount

£10,000

Description and overall rationale

Wikimania 2014 will be held in August in London. WMUK has supported the bid and the implementation team. During the next eleven months we will be allocating staff time to supporting the team, especially in the areas of fundraising and communications. We will also be employing an administrator until February 2014 to assist the team.

The goal in this area is to support this independent community event as an opportunity to raise international awareness of our chapter and compliment our 2014-15 programme.

Timelines - i.e. what happens quarter by quarter

Success criteria and Metrics - overall and quarter by quarter breakdown if relevant

Goals

• Welcome and distribute information packs about the chapter to as many visitors to our offices before and during Wikimania as wish to come (visitor book)
• Have a stall in the Chapter’s Village - reach out to 600 people (sign up sheet at event)
• Offer a programme of extra-conference activities, reaching out to 200 people (on wiki sign ups/sign up sheet at event)
• Develop the 2014-15 activity plan in a way that it benefits from Wikimania

Risks

• WMUK activity programme failing to capture the legacy of the event and benefit from it.
