3. Priorities of the chapter

Non-binding debate on the priorities of the chapter

One or two presentations from various people on possible activities the chapter could get involved in followed by questions and answers and a discussion

Possible suggestions:

• Wikipedia Loves Art at the V&A
• someone from mySociety to talk about lobbying
• a techie to talk about squid servers and what we can do to help that

Future

Ideas for a UK conference, please add/modify/discuss:

• Every January
• Moving around - at least alternating between London and Birmingham, perhaps other places as well
• One day, lunch included
• Cost included in membership fee (should give better turnout than charging separately and means we don't have to worry about too few people turning up and it making a loss)
• Talks, discussion and debates about Wikimedia projects and the UK community
• Talks from external speakers
• Talks from WMF
• AGM: Annual report, board election, any other business
