Jonathan Cardy's view

Very happy to support this and will make time to help the bidders achieve their project. I have had the pleasure of seeing Rock drum's work on several occasions and have every confidence that this project would also be a success. I'm sure many of the trainers would welcome having a clip from this, and if I may suggest it would be great to have this on Youtube as well. Jonathan Cardy (WMUK) (talk) 15:23, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Comments from Daria

Fab idea. I'd like to see more info though about what's the plan for the video once it's produced. Are we envisaging any goals for distribution, usage? If you look at it in this way, the video becomes also a tool for raising awareness of GLAM work of Wikimedia UK, which perhaps would fit more into G3.2 There is increased awareness of the benefits of Open Knowledge.

Hi Daria. Personally I think our options are open for using the finished video. Besides the obvious - display at Wikimania, distribution on Commons, etc - it could be used to attract potential new partner institutions, open their minds about the concept of Wikipedians-in-Residence and so on. As a promotional tool for WMUK this could be pretty powerful especially among those organisations that perhaps haven't heard of the GLAM-Wiki movement yet. Jrbsu (talk) 21:54, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Theresa Knott's opinion

Looks like a great idea. I don't quite understand the "sustenance" part. either £400 in total or £450 per day? is that a typo, or is that me being stupid (completely possible). Theresa knott (talk)

Total for the whole project. Either as an estimated £400 for receipted itemised expenses, or as general per diems as per our expense procedures. -- Katie Chan (WMUK) (talk) 16:09, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
