Thank you to everyone who came along to the Wikipedia session today at the Open Source unConference - hope you found it useful and interesting.
I've uploaded my slides to the Wikimedia Meta website [1] - please feel free to reuse these - they are licensed under CC-BY-SA except for the copyrighted logos or screenprints which are fair use or used with permission.
Further copies of the Schools Wikipedia DVD which I gave out can be ordered from their website [2] or it can be downloaded straight from there.
After the discussion at the session I thought I shoudl have mentioned the "Simple English Wikipedia" - this is a version of Wikipedia written specifically for children, people with learning difficulties or people whose first language is not English. [3]
The address for Wikipedia's sister projects that I mentioned - Wikibooks, which is about creating freely available textbooks, and Wikiversity, which includes lecture notes - are listed below [4] [5]
Please let me know if you have any questions and I'd welcoem your feedback - good, bad or indifferent - to secretary_at_wikimedia.org.
Andrew
