:::Very interesting question! As a member of the community, I'd like to see the voting switched to electronic voting with STV (or similar), I think. We'd then have a system that people could use for votes on anything - but then, I'm not sure how feasible it is...

::::It's certainly ''legal'' to allow advance electronic voting, though as LZ notes having a physical meeting is (probably! IANAL) a requirement - so proxy votes submitted electronically, votes on the day cast on paper (ballot paper issued contingent on not having previously voted, of course), would work as a system. The practical issue would be making it reliable & secure, and ensuring there was a quick counting mechanism available on the day to bring the two together.

*A fantastic experience. I've never been to a WikiConference before. Been to a few WikiMeets, which I have enjoyed... but this was a much bigger thing. Well worth getting up at 5:40 for! It was good to hear so many interesting talks and to discuss things with so many interesting people. I got some good feedback on my talk about {{w|User:Yaris678/DiffDeck|DiffDeck}}. I also enjoyed the whole voting thing. More of the same next year! [[User:Yaris678|Yaris678]] ([[User talk:Yaris678|talk]]) 17:33, 17 May 2012 (UTC) | |||

This page is designed to capture feedback of WikiConference UK 2012 and the associated AGM of Wikimedia UK. There are two sections: One for stories or accounts, and one for short comments.
Stories
Comments
- Great relief that it went so smoothly and that the beer in the pub afterwards tasted so nice! Jon Davies WMUK (talk) 13:14, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
- I really, really enjoyed the diverse presentations on Saturday. Short, sharp delivery is perfect for raising awareness and flagging up issues. Would have liked just a few more minutes available for questions, but I understand the time constraints. Next year do the AGM by email, and let's have the whole meeting for presentations :P --RexxS (talk) 16:46, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
- Is that legal? Don't we want to the whites of their eyes (the Trustees)? LoopZilla (talk) 19:08, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
