{{Wikipedia Education Program Structure|hide=yes}}

We had a number of [[:Category:Education_Program_Structure_proposals|exceptional proposals]] about what the future of the Education Program Structure would be. Choosing members of the Working Group was extremely difficult, and we thank everyone who applied for the time they took to share their vision for the future of the program. We hope the Working Group members will carefully consider a number of important points raised in everyone's proposal.

The Working Group Kick-Off Meeting will be held July 16–17, 2012, in Washington, D.C., immediately following Wikimania.

*'''Briefly describe your current "day job" and what it entails on a daily basis. 

I work with LSU faculty across the disciplines to integrate communication-intensive activities into their courses in a manner that helps students improve their writing, speaking, visual, and technological communication skills while also learning course content at a deeper level.

*'''If you had a bucket list of the top ten places in the world you wanted to see or do, what are your #1, #2 and #10 choices?

1. Tahiti - there's something about a bungalow over the water...<br>
2. Tuscany<br>
10. Australia (although its probably more like #8)<br>

*'''Where were you on January 28, 1986, and what do you remember about that day?

I was in grade school, glued to the TV.  That was the day I declared I wanted to be an astronaut and then didn't all in the same day.

*'''Other than your Wikimedia movement involvement, have you ever volunteered your time and/or services to a non-profit enterprise? If so, what enterprise and approximately how many days or hours/year? 

I enjoy outreach programs that involve youth eduction.  Each school year I volunteer as a Junior Achievement instructor for 3rd graders and have been heavily involved in Louisiana 4-H Youth Leadership.  I am an active member of the Junior League of Baton Rouge where I am the chairman of research and development, the committee that selects the volunteer organizations that our 1,000+ members will support. 

*'''If you edit Wikipedia, what are your favorite topics and why? What Wikipedia article are you most proud of? 

I'm not a huge editor.  I'd rather spend time help students contribute to articles they find interesting.

*'''What are your hobbies, leisure pursuits, etc.? When you are not working, what do you like to do most? 

Rarely am I not working, but I seem to find a few hours a week to feed my tennis addiction.

*'''Briefly describe your current "day job" and what it entails on a daily basis. 

I am an Assistant Professor at the [http://www.ischool.berkeley.edu/ UC Berkeley School of Information]. I teach courses on intellectual property and cyberlaw, do research on the same, advise students, and work to provide free public access to primary legal materials and legal research tools through [http://courtlistener.com CourtListener].

*'''If you had a bucket list of the top ten places in the world you wanted to see or do, what are your #1, #2 and #10 choices?

10. [[File:Dalmatia_coast.jpg|thumb|Dalmatia Coast]] Croatia
You've now got me wondering if my entire top 10 are places whose names include both an 'i' and an 'a'.

*'''Where were you on January 28, 1986, and what do you remember about that day?

I have a lousy memory, but I'm pretty sure I was sitting in Ms. Garland's 6th grade class in [[Birmingham, Alabama|Birmingham, AL]] and someone came by the classroom to tell her about the ''[[Space Shuttle Challenger disaster|Challenger]]''. I vaguely recall watching the footage as they played it over and over that evening on the news.

*'''Other than your Wikimedia movement involvement, have you ever volunteered your time and/or services to a non-profit enterprise? If so, what enterprise and approximately how many days or hours/year? 

Yes. Various ones over the years. If one counts local government as a non-profit, I'm currently on a [[Emeryville, California|City]] committee regarding [[Early childhood education|early childhood development]]. I also probably spend on average 10% of my time on [http://courtlistener.com CourtListener], which is an effort to provide free public access to primary legal materials and legal research tools.

*'''If you edit Wikipedia, what are your favorite topics and why? What Wikipedia article are you most proud of? 

From my user page, {{User|Brianwc}}, you can see that my students have created or contributed to around 176 Wikipedia articles on intellectual property and Cyberlaw-related topics. I like to see that list grow and improve. I do some editing on their work under my username, but prefer to edit anonymously from coffee shops. I think it's important that Wikipedia permit anonymous editing, and so I like to make worthwhile contributions that way so that it cannot be said that all the anon edits are spam/vandalism.

*'''What are your hobbies, leisure pursuits, etc.? When you are not working, what do you like to do most? 

I like to read, ride bikes with the family, and eat at places I've never been before. I enjoy my work so I don't really distinguish between work and leisure pursuits. Luckily for me, they're comingled.

*'''Briefly describe your current "day job" and what it entails on a daily basis. 

I'm an IT manager for a radiology company on Long Island.  I spend my day working with the IT team to manage our projects, and working with the rest of the management group.  I do a variety of things from data analysis and reporting to strategic planning, and any number of odds and ends in between.

*'''Where were you on January 28, 1986, and what do you remember about that day?

I was in London, living in [[Plumstead]] and working in [[Acton, London|Acton]].  I didn't have a TV or radio and didn't get a paper delivered so I didn't find out about the disaster till the next day.

*'''Other than your Wikimedia movement involvement, have you ever volunteered your time and/or services to a non-profit enterprise? If so, what enterprise and approximately how many days or hours/year? 

I don't know if the Oxford English Dictionary's [http://www.oed.com/public/reading/reading-programme reading progamme] counts; it was unpaid work but not for a charity.  I helped to found the OED's [http://jessesword.com/sf/ science fiction words] reading programme about ten years ago, and I still occasionally assist there.  I've also done voluntary data entry work for the [http://www.isfdb.org Internet Speculative Fiction Database].  I was webmaster for the [[National Puzzlers' League]] for several years in the late 1990s.

*'''If you edit Wikipedia, what are your favorite topics and why? What Wikipedia article are you most proud of? 

I've written quite a few biographies of Anglo-Saxon kings such as [[Offa]] and [[Wulfhere]], and also several articles on science fiction magazines, now mostly extinct, such as [[Astonishing Stories]] and [[New Worlds (magazine)|New Worlds]].  Hard to pick a favourite, but I think [[Galaxy Science Fiction]] is quite good.

*'''What are your hobbies, leisure pursuits, etc.? When you are not working, what do you like to do most? 

At the moment I am involved with a web startup which is absorbing almost all my spare time.  When I actually have spare time, I like editing Wikipedia, both reviewing and writing.  I read a lot; the non-fiction is mostly history and science, and the fiction is anything that catches my eye from the [[New York Times Book Review]].  I collect old (pre-1980) science fiction; mainly magazines.  My basement is filled with about fifteen or twenty thousand books and magazines.

I was a sophomore at [[University_of_Tennessee]], and dropping by a friend's dorm room to pick him up and walk to a computer science class when his Residence Advisor came in to the room and told us about the space shuttle. We quickly moved to his room to watch the broadcast. I can still remember those images on his small television screen. 

*'''Other than your Wikimedia movement involvement, have you ever volunteered your time and/or services to a non-profit enterprise? If so, what enterprise and approximately how many days or hours/year? 

I do currently serve as faculty advisor for our local student food bank, which we are busily planning to launch this fall. I also volunteer time with my church and currently serve on the stewardship council, which means I wash a lot of dishes during after pot luck dinners.

*'''If you edit Wikipedia, what are your favorite topics and why? What Wikipedia article are you most proud of? 

I am most proud of [[Memento_(film)]], which my class worked on as an editing team in 2004/5. The page has progressed tremendously and though that is due largely to the work of others, it was a wonderful learning experience for me.

*'''Briefly describe your current "day job" and what it entails on a daily basis. 

I'm currently leading a crew of eight wildland firefighters for the Alberta forestry department.  A good day involves jumping in a [[Bell 212]] helicopter and heading off to a new fire.  A day like today involves sitting in a trailer near the [[Athabasca Oil Sands]], playing ping pong, and waiting for a call.  In the winters I continue my seemingly never-ending education career, currently in library science.

*'''If you had a bucket list of the top ten places in the world you wanted to see or do, what are your #1, #2 and #10 choices?

# [[Iceland]]

*'''Where were you on January 28, 1986, and what do you remember about that day?

I was six years old in rural [[British Columbia]].  At that point, I believe we didn't have a television, so I probably didn't hear about the disaster until school the next day.  I recall that being a very snowy winter, so my day probably involved a toboggan and various canine accomplices.  And Lego after dinner.

*'''Other than your Wikimedia movement involvement, have you ever volunteered your time and/or services to a non-profit enterprise? If so, what enterprise and approximately how many days or hours/year? 

To be honest, Wikipedia really awakened the volunteer spirit in me for the first time.

*'''If you edit Wikipedia, what are your favorite topics and why? What Wikipedia article are you most proud of? 

I love geography, especially mountains and rivers.  I also enjoy working on arts articles, especially independent rock albums, speculative fiction, and off-beat cinema.  [[WP:BLP|BLP]] articles also attract my attention, as I believe Wikipedians have a burden of responsibility to ensure that this project doesn't encourage the sort of hurtful tabloid gossip that flowers so easily on the 'net.  I'm happy with [[Adams River (British Columbia)]], though there is lots more I could put in there.


*'''What are your hobbies, leisure pursuits, etc.? When you are not working, what do you like to do most? 

Hobbies include writing fiction, stop-motion animation, mountain climbing (only the easier ones), basketball, getting way too into HBO series, gazing longingly at maps, wandering around libraries, and exploring the endless backroads of my country.  And clicking the bluelinks on Wikipedia.

*'''Briefly describe your current "day job" and what it entails on a daily basis. 

I'm retired from university teaching and spend my time reading & writing history (for Wikipedia and for paper encyclopedias, & also for papers at conferences.) My big project with my wife D'Ann Campbell is a history of women's roles in WW2 (covering all the major roles in 20 countries.)

*'''If you had a bucket list of the top ten places in the world you wanted to see or do, what are your #1, #2 and #10 choices?
1. museums in India; 2) museums in Germany; 10) visit relatives in South Australia


*'''Where were you on January 28, 1986, and what do you remember about that day?
We were in Chicago -- D'Ann and I were both on sabbatical with our 6-month old twins. we were packing for a semester-long visiting professorship in Moscow. I watched the news about the space disaster all day & remember Reagan's speech. We later moved to New Hampshire; Astronaut Christa McAuliffe if she lived would have been the teacher for our kids, so we were continually reminded of that day. Liz, the older twin, for years wanted to be an astronaut in part because of all that (she is now a rocket scientist & designs space missions.)

*'''Other than your Wikimedia movement involvement, have you ever volunteered your time and/or services to a non-profit enterprise? If so, what enterprise and approximately how many days or hours/year? 
For several years in the mid 1990s I was very active in setting up email discussion groups for historians--H-NET. I set up over 90 of them. I still edit H-ETHNIC on a daily basis.

*'''If you edit Wikipedia, what are your favorite topics and why? What Wikipedia article are you most proud of? 
I write for Wikipedia to learn more history and historiography. Having taught US history for decades I find it more rewarding to explore other countries (esp. the British Empire.) The "War of 1812" article is my favorite and I'm giving a paper about how Wikipedia editors refought that war at the July Wickimania.  That article will appear in the Oct 2012 issue of ''Journal of  Military History'' (ask me for a preprint).

*'''What are your hobbies, leisure pursuits, etc.? When you are not working, what do you like to do most?

*'''Where were you on January 28, 1986, and what do you remember about that day?

Additionally, I serve on the boards of several nonprofits.

*'''Briefly describe your current "day job" and what it entails on a daily basis. 

I'm a legislative assistant/correspondent for a member of Congress. Basically I monitor legislative activity, advise the member on policy issues, and meet with stakeholders/constituents. Specifically I handle tax, budget, appropriations, small business, and housing issues. The "correspondent" part of my job title also means that I handle all of the letters that our office writes to constituents.  

*'''If you had a bucket list of the top ten places in the world you wanted to see or do, what are your #1, #2 and #10 choices?

I'm not sure about 1 or 2, but number 10 would be having one of those "walk-and-talk" meetings like on [[The West Wing]], but in real life. 

*'''Where were you on January 28, 1986, and what do you remember about that day?

Not alive yet.

*'''Other than your Wikimedia movement involvement, have you ever volunteered your time and/or services to a non-profit enterprise? If so, what enterprise and approximately how many days or hours/year? 

In high school I was very involved with a Wilkes-Barre Junior Leadership, a student service organization. I helped on a few projects, but my favorite was a battle of the bands that raised a few thousand dollars for the local library. I also was president/producer of a college student theatre company. 

*'''If you edit Wikipedia, what are your favorite topics and why? What Wikipedia article are you most proud of? 

I haven't had time to do much Wikipedia editing. However, now that I'm done with grad school I'd like to spend more of my free time editing articles about public policy, politics, and government. 

*'''What are your hobbies, leisure pursuits, etc.? When you are not working, what do you like to do most? 

I play the piano and love various types of theatre - musical, improv, etc. I like playing pick-up basketball when I can. Is [[NPR]] a hobby?

*'''Briefly describe your current "day job" and what it entails on a daily basis. 

I am a full time consultant who teaches and facilitates a strategic planning and execution process.  I spend 50-75 days a year with leadership groups, senior managers and project team in corporations, universities and government agencies facilitating the development and execution of enterprise and project strategies.  I am a lead instructor/facilitator at the Prometheus Academy, a 5 day strategy course held 3 times annually in Montgomery, Alabama.

*'''If you had a bucket list of the top ten places in the world you wanted to see or do, what are your #1, #2 and #10 choices?

** 1 – Spend a few nights in the [http://www.oregoncaveschateau.com/ Oregon Caves Chateau] which was architected and built by my wife’s great uncle [http://www.nps.gov/orca/historyculture/gustlium.htm Gust Lium]
** 2 – Float and fly fish the [[Smith River (Montana)]] in Montana
** 10 – This will always be a longshot – Visit and fish in the [[Pantanal]] in Brazil

*'''Where were you on January 28, 1986, and what do you remember about that day?

Of course this was the day of the Space Shuttle Challenger diaster.  Although I was then stationed in London, I was working that day in Kaiserslautern, Germany.  It was late afternoon and a group of us were watching the launch on AFRN.  At the time, it seemed like it would change the whole future of the space program. 

*'''Other than your Wikimedia movement involvement, have you ever volunteered your time and/or services to a non-profit enterprise? If so, what enterprise and approximately how many days or hours/year? 

I spend 4 days ever year as a volunteer for the [http://www.warriorsandquietwaters.org/index.php Warriors and Quiet Waters Foundation] of Bozeman helping wounded warriors learn to fly fish.  I spend an coccasional day or so working on local Trout Unlimited and Madison River Foundation projects.

*'''If you edit Wikipedia, what are your favorite topics and why? What Wikipedia article are you most proud of? 

Fly Fishing, anything about the personalities and literature of fly fishing; Montana history, geography and biology; Yellowstone and Glacier history, geography and biology; Bibliographies.

*'''What are your hobbies, leisure pursuits, etc.? When you are not working, what do you like to do most? 

At my age, hobbies have come and gone over the years.  But for the last 50 years [[fly fishing]], [[fly tying]] and everything about the [[Bibliography of fly fishing|literature of fly fishing]] have been my main leisure activities.  I do a fair amount of gardening when the weather permits as well.

*'''Briefly describe your current "day job" and what it entails on a daily basis. 

During the Public Policy Initiative days, I recruited, coordinated, and most directly worked with the program's participating professors and Campus Ambassadors. Now, I provide strategic support and program-design advice to Wikipedia education programs around the world, and currently I am directly involved in developing the Wikipedia Education Program's activities in the Arabic-speaking world. I also work to increase the effectiveness and sustainability of the Wikipedia Ambassador program on a global level.

*'''If you had a bucket list of the top ten places in the world you wanted to see or do, what are your #1, #2 and #10 choices?

Honestly, I'd be interested in visiting as many countries in the world as I can. At the moment I am particularly interested in the Iberian Peninsula (maybe for the amazing architecture?), Bhutan and the region around it (for being wise enough to measure Gross National Happiness), and many U.S. states and Canadian provinces that I've not yet visited.

*'''Where were you on January 28, 1986, and what do you remember about that day?

No consciousness...

*'''Other than your Wikimedia movement involvement, have you ever volunteered your time and/or services to a non-profit enterprise? If so, what enterprise and approximately how many days or hours/year? 

I was actively involved in founding and/or running several organizations on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley — including a new academic student journal, an organization that uses video production to raise awareness about social issues, and an organization that provides leadership training and teambuilding exercises for other student groups. More recently I've also served as the media consultant to a large international scholarly association.

*'''If you edit Wikipedia, what are your favorite topics and why? What Wikipedia article are you most proud of? 

I've not started any articles, but I've done a good amount of copyediting, small content edits, and image uploads. I actually recently compiled a list of start or stub class articles that I'm really interested in and want to improve substantially; somehow a lot of those articles are about food!

*'''What are your hobbies, leisure pursuits, etc.? When you are not working, what do you like to do most? 

I'm working most of the time, but on the occasions when I do have some leisurely time, here are some examples of things I like to do: reading non-fiction, relaxing at coffeeshops, learning to play new songs on the guitar, discussing social issues with friends, exploring new places, seeking out live music and local events, browsing outdoor markets (like farmers' markets or flea markets), trying out different kinds of food, doing web design and sometimes video production, learning new skills, and meeting new people. Sometimes I run around grass fields playing Capture the Flag too.
