Hello everyone,
You may know that the education newsletter
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News> is now being published
on a quarterly basis. The newsletter is going to be published early March,
June, September and December every year. And the first quarterly issue is
expected to be published in early December 2015 which is 10 days from now.
In the past 10 weeks we have received great contributions from education
programs all over the world. Thanks to these contributions we are expecting
a rich issue of the newsletter. Thank you for sharing your experience with
everyone in the Wikimedia movement!
Stay tuned for the first issue of *Education Quarterly*!
Thank you!
P.S. Please note that the deadline for adding content to every issue of the
education newsletter is 15 days before the publication date. e.g. The
deadline for contributions in the March issue is the 15th of February.
