New subject: Meet the Inspire grantees working to increase gender diversity on Wikimedia

Looks like there's a bit of a backlog in promoting recent blog posts on social media (this one had only been featured as a RT on Twitter so far, and we also haven't posted https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/04/30/how-many-women-edit-wikipedia/ yet which might be partly my fault). I just sent out the suggested tweet and also posted it on FB and G+. FB doesn't have a character limit, but the thing to keep in mind there is that the headline and an excerpt from the intro are visible anyway, so one may want to avoid repeating these verbatim. I used the second suggestion, but shortened the first sentence for that reason. On Fri, May 1, 2015 at 1:08 PM, Fabrice Florin <fflorin(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

Much appreciated, Tilman! Looks like this fell through the cracks on Friday afternoon. Michael, this is what I was asking about in our standup yesterday. Let’s set up a more rigorous system for making sure the announcements go out when planned. But I am glad that we got the FB and G+ out this week, which will probably give this announcement a bit more traction. All the best, Fabrice
