| Wikimania 2014 happened, and it was brilliant. More than 200 sessions, and more than 4,000 attendees according to the figures from The Barbican. We had guests from more than 70 countries. And now we are tired. We’ll share more reflections on the conference, including facts and figures, once the dust has settled and everything is back to normal. Here’s a group photo, taken on Sunday afternoon. Thanks to everyone who took part, everyone who contributed, and most importantly, thank you to all of the volunteers who made it happen! | | During [[wm2014:|Wikimania 2014]] last week, we were lucky enough to be able to screen our documentary about the [[Cultural partnerships|GLAM-Wiki programme]] in the UK. The film brings together interviews with some of the [[outreach:Wikipedian in Residence|Wikimedians in Residence]] from institutions across the country – and with Wikimedia UK staff. We want it to function as an outreach tool – as a way of teaching people about the GLAM programme, but also as a celebration of the work of so many volunteers and paid Wikimedians in Residence. |

Wikimedia UK
Open knowledge for all
|
|
If you'd like to see what Wikimedia UK is working on, our website is the best place for our community of volunteers, donors and members to stay up to date.
|
|
|
The Wikimedia projects are special: they are written and curated by thousands of volunteers. They are also supported by voluntary donations, through Wikimedia UK, the Wikimedia Foundation and other international chapters.
Wikimedia UK is a charity registered in England and Wales that supports and promotes Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects such as Wikimedia Commons. Our mission is to help people and organisations create and preserve open knowledge, and to help provide easy access for all. We do this by supporting volunteer editors and contributors ('Wikimedians'), by working in partnership with cultural and educational institutions, by hosting training sessions and editing events, and by acting to advocate the benefits of open knowledge generally.
There are several ways to get involved in the charity's work. You can become a member for just £5 per year. You can volunteer to work with us in a variety of ways, both online and offline. You can also make a donation (and if you're a UK taxpayer, we can claim Gift Aid). Subscribe to our Friends' Newsletter to stay in touch. Click the buttons below to learn more.
