together with a workshop for OTRS agents. The workshop was visited, despite
the bad weather, by 11 people, including Lyzzy, who was involved in the
discussions on OTRS and explained the German Flagges Revisions system.
Translation Rally End 2009

VWN Sponsored two "*Translation Rallies*" at
translatewiki.net<http://translatewiki.net/wiki/>this year. The second
rally ran until the end of the year (UTC) and resulted
in over 33,000 new translations for MediaWiki and its extensions.
New Year cards

Snail mail New Year cards were sent to all members and the volunteers who
helped the chapter in the activities in the past year. The members were also
invited in a letter for the New Year drinks, and the volunteers were thanked
for their help with a hand written note. Also several organizations with
whom the chapter worked together in the past year received a card. Several
recipients expressed that they were very pleased by this gesture.
