I'm very pleased to announce two new developments at Wikimedia DC.
First, we'd like to welcome our first staff member, Lisa Marrs, who will be assisting us as an Outreach & Program Coordination Intern over the next several months. Lisa's duties will include coordinating our outreach efforts and acting as a primary point of contact for cultural and educational institutions; preparing our external communications, including blog posts, press releases, and social media postings; and supporting the organizing teams of Wikimania 2012 and Wiki Loves Monuments USA 2012.
Second, we've moved into our new office space, which is located at 1875 K Street NW in Washington, DC. We'll be using this space through at least the end of September; it will be both a work area for Lisa (and perhaps another intern later in the summer) as well as a location for internal and external meetings over the next few months. We're currently busy getting settled in and setting up the office, and will be ready to welcome visitors in late June; if you're interested in visiting us, please let us know, and we'll arrange access for you.
As always, any comments or suggestions are very welcome. We look forward to hosting everyone here in Washington for Wikimania next month!
Cheers, Kirill
