<div dir="ltr">G'day all,<br><br>I'm very pleased (and a bit excited, and a bit nervous) that I've been asked to act as a communications advisor for ChapCom, and I've spent the last few weeks generally learning the ropes, lurking here and there and getting to grips with how it all works :-)<br>
<br>It really helps to have a clear idea of current status in each developing chapter, and I'd really like to be able to update everyone with progress in the Australian Chapter, as well as letting you guys know that I'm available as a resource to use (and abuse!) as you see fit to help get the chapter launched and working successfully in Australia. To this end, I'll be editing away on Meta to incorporate a few of the ideas I've seen on this list, but would also request an update from the interim committee about how they're going with Chapter logistics in general.<br>
<br>I think it would be great to update all list members here, but you can of course also contact ChapCom direct on <a href="mailto:chaptercommittee-l@wikimedia.org">chaptercommittee-l@wikimedia.org</a>. I note (as I've noted before) that the UK Chapter is beavering away to re-launch, and are expecting to hold their inaugural AGM in January. Whilst normally I'd go for the poms in the Ashes, maybe we can resume normal service and beat them to it? :-)<br>
<br>best regards,<br><br>Peter<br>PM.<br><tt><b></b></tt></div>
