Hi Tomasz,
this sounds great! I am so glad things are going well!
I have been thinking in this light, maybe we should also set up a wlm-eu blog and put announcements like this on there? (fairly open blog) That could give this kind of partnerships a bit of extra international exposure.
Best,
Lodewijk

Dear All,
I am delighted to announce on behalf of the Wikimedia Polska Association that this week we have finally signed an official agreement on partnership and cooperation with the National Heritage Board of Poland (NHB), which is the main state institution dealing with protection of cultural heritage monuments in the country. Wiki Loves Monuments is now under an Honorary Patronage of the Board (yay!).
Both parties to the agreement have obliged themselves, for instance, to inform about each other's projects; thanks to that obligation, news on Wiki Loves Monuments will be published on the NHB's homepage (http://www.nid.pl) and information about the project will be printed on all advertisement materials (posters, leaflets, invitations etc.) produced for the European Heritage Days.
Moreover, in accordance with the agreement, we have received the full registry of monuments in Poland which will uploaded on Wikipedia in (most probably) a few days' time. I believe this to be an amazing milestone for our Wikiproject.
The Wikiproject itself has significantly developed since our meeting in Berlin and now we have 40 *active* and enthusiastic members who are working on our lists of monuments, adding coordinates and pictures -- this makes us the most active Wikiproject of the Polish Wikipedia.
Furthermore, we have prepared a yet-unfinished category tree on Wikimedia Commons < http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Cultural_heritage_monuments_in_Po...
as well as a categorisation template with a full English translation http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Zabytek.
We are also in the process of securing a media patronage and, hopefully!, an Honorary Patronage of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, for which an answer we should receive in the next few days.
That would be it, if anyone has any questions, I am more than happy to answer them.
Regards,
Tomasz Kozłowski | [[user:odder]]
