Potential items

Office Manager

Three possibilities that need to be costed and decided upon:

  • Continuation at current level of 8 hours per week?
  • Increasing to ~20 hours per week?
  • Full time position?

Events Organiser

  • Full time position?

Printing and distributing Bookshelf materials

Materials from the WMF's Bookshelf Project are starting to become available - see http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bookshelf . They would likely need some minor alterations so that they are in British English, after which we could print and distribute copies. Other works could also be created and distributed via the same method.

Could distribute to:

  • Libraries
  • Schools
  • Universities
  • Museums
  • At events like GLAM-WIKI, annual conference, etc.

Costs would be:

  • Printing
  • Postage

Rough estimate might be £1k(?).

Seed for membership merchandise

  • Seed money for printing T-shirts etc.
  • Can also be used as prizes in competitions, rewards for helping out at events, etc.

Rough estimate might be £200(?), with the aim of becoming largely self-sustaining.

Chapters Conference 2011

We will need to fund the travel for 2 board members to attend this. Weekend of 25-26 March, in Berlin. Should cost ~£0.5K. Would also be good to provide sponsorship for other chapters, or general support for the conference (pending them meeting the requirements of our grant for the 2010 conference...). Perhaps budget £2k in total?

Wikimania 2011 Sponsorship

Scholarships for people to travel to Wikimania 2011 in Haifa, Israel? £1k?
