To: Discussion list for Bangladeshi Wikimedians <<a href="mailto:wikimedia-bd@lists.wikimedia.org" target="_blank">wikimedia-bd@lists.wikimedia.org</a>>, <a href="mailto:Wikipedia-BN@lists.wikimedia.org" target="_blank">Wikipedia-BN@lists.wikimedia.org</a><br>
<br><br>Dear Wikipedians,<br>
<br>
I am very pleased to announce our initiative to create an official<br>
Bangladesh chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation, named Wikimedia<br>
Bangladesh. Maybe many of you already know: currently the existence of<br>
this chapter is unofficial, but we believe it is time to get an<br>
official identity to promote free knowledge all over Bangladesh more<br>
efficiently. We have already formed a small work-group to work in this<br>
process [1].<br>
<br>
Wikimedia Bangladesh will be a non-profit organisation devoted towards<br>
promoting Wikipedia and related projects and creating public awareness<br>
in Bangladesh.<br>
<br>
To kick-start the process, we have contacted the Chapters Committee<br>
[2] of the Wikimedia Foundation. We also updated our chapter page [3]<br>
on Meta-Wiki [4]. We have also submitted the draft of our Memorandum<br>
of Association [5]. Currently the creation of this chapter is under<br>
active consideration by the Chapters Committee.<br>
<br>
We invite Bangladeshi wikipedians to support the Wikimedia Bangladesh<br>
chapter and review the official memorandum of understanding. Please<br>
reply in this thread and provide your invaluable feedback.<br>
<br>
With regards,<br>
<br>
