This is the chapter report for Wikimedia Nederland for December 2010
<h2><span>Fundraiser</span></h2>
<p>Work on the fundraiser continued throughout December, with several
improvements with respect to landing page and banners which showed to be
successful.</p>
<h2><span>New year cards</span></h2>
<p>New year cards were designed and printed again. They were sent to all
members and several relevant contacts by mail with an invitation (when
relevant) to the new year reception / Wikipedia's 10th birthday party on
January 15, 2011. Active volunteers and contacts were thanked properly
with a hand written message on the cards. Reactions were positive. In
total some 180-200 cards were sent. For all those that did not receive a
card, hereby the best wishes of Wikimedia Nederland for 2011: <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WMNL2010-Nieuwjaar2011-Front_%28HighRes%29.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">File:WMNL2010-Nieuwjaar2011-Front (HighRes).jpg</a></p>
<h2><span>Wiki Loves Monuments 2011</span></h2>
<p>First steps were taken to come to a European Wiki Loves Monuments
2011. We reached out to other chapters to find out whether they are
interested in such event, to be organized on a national level with
international cooperation. A post mortem was published (<a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/post_mortem" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/post_mortem</a>)
with information about how it was organized and tips and tricks. When
it was established that there is sufficient interest, a mailing list was
created to coordinate efforts (<a href="https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">[1]</a>).</p>
<h2><span>Amsterdam Museum</span></h2>
<p>The Amsterdam Museum (formerly Amsterdam Historisch Museum) will
release in January as a birthday present to Wikipedia her digitized
collection under a free license! This will be celebrated at January 15
in the Amsterdam Historisch Museum. More details will follow in the
January 2011 report.</p>
<h2><span>Small subsidies</span></h2>
