 Dear all,

 It is an honour for me to announce that during Wikimania, the WMF resolved
 [1] to recognise Wikimedia Belgium as a Wikimedia chapter. The resolution
 was made public a few days ago.

 The first discussions towards the establishment of a Belgian chapter
 started many years ago, with the local community doing projects related to
 freedom of knowledge since then, like organisation of WLM Belgium 
 Luxembourg in 2011, 2012 and 2013. Along with these and other activities,
 the idea of a chapter grew and evolved to the moment when, the decision was
 taken to start officially the chapter creation process.

 This process took longer than usual, due to many reasons, among those the
 change in the chapter approval process by the WMF Board last year.
 Nevertheless, after months of intensive discussion and interaction between
 all parties involved, a recommendation from the AffCom was sent to the WMF
 regarding Wikimedia Belgium. And here we are :-)

 Please welcome the newest member of the family of Wikimedia affiliates!

 Regards,
 Carlos

   Hello Wikimedians,
  
   Last year, I went to Wikimania to create a documentary about the
  convention
   itself, to educate the public about what Wikimania is and simulate the
   feeling of what it's like to be there.
  
   Here is the short documentary:

   Here is a version without burned-in English-language subtitles (I'll
 be
   adding open captions to this one soon):

   My thanks to everyone who let me interview them on camera last year.
  
   I'll be at Wikimania in London this year looking more stories from
   Wikimedians - I hope to see you there :)
