It contains stories, short interviews, essays around themes like our advocacy work, the founding of Wikimedia Europe and our ongoing campaign “Public Money – Public Good!”, how we welcomed our 100,000th member, hosted the Wikimedia Summit for the first time since the pandemic, and how we continue to engage with our volunteer communities and to develop and strengthen Wikidata and Wikibase – to name just a few of the exciting contents.
