Readers of this blog might be interested to know that there is now a page for this project at http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Expert_outreach/Jisc_Ambassador Not much to report right now because we are still in the planning phase, but the achievements of the project will be listed there, hopefully with links to “embassies” on the Wikimedia projects.

Martin is already very well-known to the Wikimedia community so I’m sure that no one will mistake my words of delight for empty platitudes. His direct experience of working with both collaborating institutions on this project makes him the ideal person for this task. Working even more closely over the coming months, I’m pretty certain that education outreach will now be noticeably better for our fledgling organisation. Our community has good reason to be really be excited about all this!
