Myself

My name is Joseph Seddon and I am currently the Conferences and Events Director for Wikimedia UK. Although conferences and events is where my official duties lie, I also have interests in the wider open source community outside Wikimedia and in release of content from archives.

My main wiki is the English Wikipedia but I have done bits and pieces on other projects. On the English Wikipedia I have many roles which I undertake to do my bit to help the project keep ticking along which include; administrator, mediator, OTRS volunteer and trainee Checkuser clerk.
