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
