[Foundation-l] Wikimedia Poland to start a travelling POTY pictures exhibition in Warsaw (an announcement)

[Itzik Edri]

Tomasz, that's absolutely great project and from the pictures he look
amazing.

During Wikimania in Haifa we also held a POTY exhibition, but I must say -
your exhibition is lovely and look much more professional!

Good luck!

Itzik.
