From: Gregory Varnum gregory.varnum@gmail.com Subject: New email list for Wikimedia Midwest US Date: 30 June, 2012 1:36:21 AM EDT To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Greetings,
I am pleased to announce that the Midwest region of the United States now has our own email list!
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-us-mw - wikimedia-us-mw@lists.wikimedia.org.
This discussion list allows for individuals in the Midwest US to discuss Wikimedia related collaborations and events. It will also be used to discuss the possible formation of a Midwest US Wikimedia Chapter, already in discussion at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Midwest
The list will also house information on the upcoming Midwest US Meetup at Wikimania 2012: https://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Midwest_US_Meetup
I have volunteered to moderate the list at its start. Hopefully as leaders step up for the Midwest, they can be added and take that task on in the future.
I look forward to engaging with folks in discussion there on the future of Wikimedia involvement in the great Midwest!
