Hi everyone!
I'm very happy to announce that the Affiliations Committee has recognized
[1] Wikimedia Community of Kazakh language User Group [2] as a Wikimedia
User Group. The group aims to increase the collaboration between the
members and other organizations outside of Wikimedia who are interested in
sharing the knowledge, to create meetups, contests and other activities
related to the Kazakh language.
Please join me in congratulating the members of this new user group!
Regards,
Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight
Chair, Affiliations Committee
