Dear Wikimedia Asia Project Members,<br><br>Thanks, Deryck Chan for the welcome!<span class="gD" style="color:#00681c"></span><br><br>Greeting from Seoul, South Korea! This is Vantharith from Khmer Wikimedia Team.<br>I was introduced by our fellow Wikipedian friend, <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Sir_Nicholas_de_Mimsy-Porpington" title="User:Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington" target="_blank">Anirudh Bhati</a> from India. And I&#39;m glad to be here and look forward to work together sometime in the future.<br>


<br>Let me give a short intro to our Khmer language projects. We currently have 3 running projects:<br><ul><li>Khmer Wikipedia</li><li>Khmer Wiktionary</li><li>Khmer Wikibooks<br></li></ul>Among the 3, Khmer Wikipedia is the biggest, while other 2 are almost inactive due to low contribution and user-base.<br>
Our Team, we don&#39;t have physical organization and structure - we are just a online community of like-minded volunteers who believe in the power of sharing free knowledge, esp. in our own native language.<br><br>We are making some noise online and we are still in the process of building offline network on the ground.<br>
We have hold few WikiMeetups in our capital Phnom Penh. But lately, our activity is low due to lack of human resource on the group.<br>One of our lead team member moved to other city and while few others are too busy with their work.... so...<br>
<br>Anyway, now the ground in Phnom Penh, we have our Indian friend, Anirudh who is lending his hands in helping out with the outreach.<br>In case any Wikipedians happen to visit Cambodia, esp. the capital, please let us know. So we can arrange a meetup and let you guys talk about anything relevant to Wikimedia, to inspire our youth here.<br>
<br>All for now and looking forward to working with everyone.<br>And in case, I happen to travel any of Asia Project team country - will for sure let you know, so we can meet and talk!!!<br><br>Thank you and kind regards,<br>

Hello,<br><br>I was not in the list, but now I have subscribed (thanks to Ragib bhai for the poke) and it is awaiting for moderators approval at the moment. According to the ChapCom Wikimedia Bangladesh is an existing chapter [1], but not yet established (board approval I mean). Hope we will get that real soon. :D<br>




<br>Feel free to ping me to know anything about it, or anything other you are interested. :)<br><br>Regards,<br>Tanvir Rahman<br>Wikitanvir on Wikimedia<br><br>[1] <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/?diff=2969077" target="_blank">http://meta.wikimedia.org/?diff=2969077</a><br>
