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
