Hello Wikisource enthusiasts and friends of Wikisource, I hope you are doing alright! I would like to invite you to celebrate 18 years of Wikisource with the incoming CEO of the WMF, Maryana Iskendar <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Chief_Executive_Office…> . The event is scheduled to take place in 2 weeks from today on *24 November 2021* from *1:30 - 3:00 PM UTC *(check your local time <toollabs:zonestamp/1637760610>). Feel free to drop me a message on telegram (@satdeep) or via email (sgill(a)wikimedia.org) to add your email address to the calendar invite. Maryana is hoping to learn more about the Wikisource community and the project at this event and it would be really nice if you can share your answers to the following questions: - What motivates you to contribute to Wikisource? - What makes the Wikisource community special? - What are the major challenges facing the movement going forward? - What are your questions to Maryana? You can share your responses during the live event but in case the date and the time doesn't work for you, you can share your responses on the event page on Wikisource <https://wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Eighteenth_Birthday> or in case you would like to remain anonymous, you can share your responses directly with me. Also, feel free to reach out to me in case you would like to give a short presentation about your and your community's work at the beginning of the session. Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
