 * Panyd - I'll be there! All Hail The Muffin Nor does it taste nice... 14:07, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I should be there, but I can't be 100% sure yet. Nothing on my calendar for that day, so it's looking pretty likely that I can attend! Unfortunately I was ill today so I've got far too much work to do tomorrow to come. :-( --(ʞɿɐʇ)  ɐuɐʞsǝp 18:40, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Happy to attend and support - am a postdoc in the School of Physics & Astronomy. Might be able to book a room in the Alan Turing Building, and arrange for wireless internet access if necessary, depending on numbers. Mike Peel (talk) 19:05, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Agenda
We are looking to recruit university students to join Wikipedia as editors. We will be handing out leaflets (made by User:Mono), and speaking to people around campus in the late afternoon. In the early afternoon we will be giving a talk at the student union expressing why students should edit and how.

We also hope to meet with the librarians at the college to discuss potential collaboration with editors.

We're hoping that all Wikipedians will be wearing Wikipedia t-shirts, so if you could let us know your size, we would be very much appreciative!
