To think that I'd live to see this day... Félicitations, vraiment. So many years in the making, so many downs, and ups, and curveballs and bends in the road. A great thank you to those of you in that always vibrant Brazilian community who held it all together, those, new or slightly less new, who walked the path, and all the paths.
Hat down to all of you, may the path ahead be smooth(er), beautiful and fruitful. Cheers, Delphine Le jeu. 13 févr. 2025 à 15:06, Affiliations Committee <[email protected]> a écrit : > Hi everyone, > > It is with immense excitement and pride that we announce the WMF Board of > Trustees’ approval of the Affiliations Committee recommendation to formally > recognize Wiki Movimento Brasil as a Wikimedia Chapter, to be known as > Wikimedia > Brasil effective Jan 31, 2025.
