Recruiting

  • Define better London First relationship
    • We want to have regular monthly meetings with them to oversee organisational process and help with procurement and negotiations.
  • We probably don't need interns with our full team, probably wait until the bid is won or lost, then comes out of WMUK budget for Wikimania (rather than bid budget).
  • Team defined as:
    • Coordinator: Ed Saperia
    • Programme/Partnerships: James Knight
    • Fundraiser: Anastasia Andrianova
    • Venue: Kevin McLaughlin
    • Web: Kimi Lawrie
    • Media/Comms: TBD
    • Treasurer: TBD
    • Graphics: TBD
  • So just a couple of roles left to fill, and these fairly well defined.
  • Need to write up better job descriptions
  • Do we need to hire as per WMUK hiring guidelines?
