Microgrants/London Wikipedia academy
London Wikipedia academy
- Overview
The academy http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/London_Wikipedia_Academy being organised by Wikipedians at Imperial College requires appropriate publicity and a hospitable environment for discussion on the night. We hope to do this at the lowest cost possible, without compromising on the night itself. After further publicity, we aim for 40 people on the night. We will buy food and drink with long sell-by dates in order to allow use in any future events.
- Budget
Colour Printing: £5 All posters are only using approved. We will happily share these posters with other societies although they obviously show the specifics of our event. We have been careful to apply trademark protocol as discussed with Jay Walsh and Michelle Paulson at the foundation.
Blu-tack:£2
Food for 40 people: Snacks only - biscuits and crisps £20
Drink for 40 people: (no alcohol) Orange Juice and water £10
Cups and tissues: £3
Total £40.
- Expected outcomes
A great many academic and library contacts for Wikimedia UK in London, and an opportunity to further our student society. Most importantly, an exploration of the issues of higher education and Wikipedia today, as well as the description of the Campus Ambassadors program to many UK academics.

- Sounds good to me! Johnbod 15:51, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
- Support. We now have a set of 'Welcome to Wikipedia' leaflets (thanks to the WMF); we can send some of these along to this event if they would be useful. Mike Peel 21:03, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
- Approved. We need to discuss how you are going to fund your activities in the long-term, though. I don't think doing everything through individual microgrant requests is sustainable... --Tango 19:58, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
