<DIV>The permanent mailing list for Wikimedia-California, <A href="mailto:Wikimedia-california@lists.wikimedia.org">Wikimedia-california@lists.wikimedia.org</A> has been created. Please go to <A href="https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-california">https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-california</A> to subscribe to the list and receive updates as the chapter for the Golden State is formed. You can also add your name on Meta at <A target=_blank href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_California#Roster_.28Join_the_cause.21.29"><SPAN id=lw_1273030632_0 class=yshortcuts><FONT color=#0000ff>http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_California#Roster_.28Join_the_cause.21.29</FONT></SPAN></A>, if you haven't already done so. We'll begin drafting Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws soon, as well as planning projects for the chapter to work on when fully operational. </DIV>
