<h2><span class="editsection"></span><span class="mw-headline" id="General_Assemblee">General Assemblee </span></h2>
<p>In June the second General Assemblee of the year was held. Important
topics on the agenda were the professionalization, an updated 2010
budget and how to support the community health.

<h2><span class="editsection"></span><span class="mw-headline" id="Professionalization_process">Professionalization process </span></h2>
<p>Wikimedia Nederland has filed a grant request with the Wikimedia
Foundation for 2010-2012 regarding professionalization, as an investment
into the future. We feel that there are opportunities for sustainable
growth with the right support. The grant has been partially awarded. You
can find the original application at <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:WM_NL/Professionalization" class="external free" rel="nofollow">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:WM_NL/Professionalization</a> .

<h2><span class="editsection"></span><span class="mw-headline" id="Communication"> Communication </span></h2>
<p>A new design has been made for the chapter website, to replace the
current Wiki layout for "outsiders". The wiki will remain, less visibly,
available to our community members of course. Also the annual report
for 2009 has been layouted properly now and will be printed for all
members. The pdf will become available on our website. A constant
overview of the media attention for Wikipedia / Wikimedia in the
Netherlands can be found on <a href="http://nl.wikimedia.org/wiki/Media-aandacht/2010" class="external free" rel="nofollow">http://nl.wikimedia.org/wiki/Media-aandacht/2010</a>
