Hi everyone,
March is Women's History Month, and this will be the second year for
WikiWomen's History Month, an *international* collaborative event that
takes place offline at edit-a-thons and online through project focuses.
Events and projects focus on improving women's history coverage on any
language project. We have a page on English Wikipedia, like last year,
to gather all of the events:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiWomen%27s_History_Month
So far we have events in South America, Europe and the United States.
I hope you'll consider throwing an event in your town, village, or city
- or do a women's history focus for your WikiProject - large or small!

Hello everyone,
I'm pleased to announce that Wikimedia DC will be holding an election of
our Board of Directors over the course of the next five weeks.
Full details regarding the election, including instructions for candidates
and voters, are available on our website at
http://wikimediadc.org/wiki/Internal:Board_election_(February_2013). A
summary of some key points:
(1) Candidates and voters must be members of Wikimedia DC to participate in
the election. If you haven't renewed your membership from last year, you
will need to do so by February 15.
(2) Candidates must submit their nomination package, including
certifications of eligibility, mandatory disclosures, and candidate
statements, to the Election Committee by February 15.
(3) Ballots will be distributed on February 16. Voters who wish to request
electronic ballots must do so by February 15; the same deadline applies to
voters who will be receiving paper ballots and wish to update their mailing
address.
(4) All completed ballots -- whether paper or electronic -- must be
