Expert outreach/Jisc Ambassador
From July 2013 to March 2014, Jisc and Wikimedia UK are jointly supporting a project to create events, case studies and other documentation.
Martin Poulter is acting as an Ambassador between the two communities, with the support of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law at the University of Bristol. He will be employed part-time alongside his two other jobs at the University.
At the moment, the project is in an initial phase of planning and contact-building to see what activities to focus on out of the hundreds that are possible.
To send queries to Martin, it is best to use email at m.l.poulter@bris.ac.uk , but Talk pages on the different Wikimedia projects will be watched.
Major project activities and outcomes will be announced here and on the affected Wikimedia projects. You can follow the project in greater detail on the dedicated user page, User:MartinPoulter_Jisc.
