Subject: Update on the L2K ahead of Wikimania
To: wiki-indaba-17-participants(a)googlegroups.com, Mailing list for African
Wikimedians <african-wikimedians(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear fellow Wikimedians,
It has been a remarkable six months since WikiIndaba, and three months
since the Wikimedia Conference. I am so excited by what the African
community has accomplished during this period, and what we have yet to
achieve!
I am so grateful for the L2K and how it has inspired the movement and
Foundation. We have referred back to it on so many occasions through the
global strategy process. And of course, it inspired the Latin American
community with their own post-Iberoconf letter, the Carta de Buenos Aires
[1].
In order to properly recognize the L2K, and the importance of the African
community, I would like to acknowledge both it and the Carta with a formal
response while we are at Wikimania. The response will be timed to accompany
the presentation that I intend to give along with Christophe Henner, our
Wikimedia Foundation Board Chair.
In the meantime, I know that you have been in close coordination with Jack
and other Foundation colleagues through the office hours and other
collaborations. Internally within the Foundation, the themes of the L2K
have been present in our conversations around strategy, program, and
community planning.
I am so grateful for your voice, and the representation of Africa in the
community, and your continued work on behalf of our movement.
Yours,
Katherine
