WikiConference UK 2011: will you be coming?

Hello. Thanks for expressing an interest in attending WikiConference UK 2011 in Bristol this coming Saturday (16 April). If you you will be coming, please could you register (if you haven't already) so that we can ensure we have enough catering, printed material and badges to go around? You can officially register at http://wikiconferenceuk2011.eventbrite.com/ . Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 15:23, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Bristol

Did you get an e-mail from me? I'm having technical grief, so maybe not. Johnbod (talk) 13:59, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

And again. Johnbod (talk) 15:40, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Replied to the first, I'm now hoping to get down to Bristol on Saturday morning, but I've got to be in London Friday evening. ϢereSpielChequers 15:46, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Greeting from Japanese Wikipedian

Hi, we had a beer at "Mandarin" in Haifa. Wikimedia Japan is at an early stage of development, and I am pretty sure that we are going to need your help. We'll be in touch! Tomo_suzuki ( talk ) 22:10, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Tomo, I hope you had a pleasant journey home. I'm sure we will be able to collaborate on a few things, I know the Museums we collaborate with would be impressed if articles like Hoxne Hoard and Tipu's Tiger were to be translated into Japanese, and it would be great to include you in similar exercises in the future.

	Great meeting you at Wikimania! I look forward to continuing to volunteer with you and further our Wiki-friendship =) SarahStierch (talk) 11:07, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Oxford meetup

Good to meet you at Oxford a couple of weeks ago. Do you have any information on the digitizing machines you mentioned? A manufacturer's name and model name/number would suffice for a search. I visited the Didcot Railway Centre recently and had a brief chat with the archivist of the Great Western Society. I'm planning on joining them and hoping to do some cataloging and transcribing of their archive. There was definitely some interest in what Wikimedia could offer working with them. They are an accredited museum under the MLAC scheme. See Great Western Trust Museum and Archive for details. Robevans123 (talk) 19:33, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi Rob, "Epson Expression Model 10000XL flat bed scanners, with Graphic Arts, USB2 and Firewire interfaces." We have just been sorting out the paperwork and are drawing up an application process for GLAMs to borrow them, but the key criteria will be what they will openly license and upload to commons. ϢereSpielChequers 21:17, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Looks good - very high dpi and depth. I'll let them know the capabilities and criteria, and if they're interested, put them in touch with you, if that's ok. Robevans123 (talk) 22:42, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, much appreciated. BTW are you coming to Wikimania? ϢereSpielChequers 22:34, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Alas, no. Was planning to come to Wikimedia UK AGM and drop in on Wikimania, but (due to circumstances beyond my control) now won't be able to. Hope it all goes well. Robevans123 (talk) 08:09, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
