Dear wikimedians from around the world,
We're pleased to share with you that there is already a group of more than
45 wikimedians discussing and supporting the creation of a local chapter of
the Wikimedia Foundation in Brazil.
(You'll find more details at the following page:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Brasil) Please join and share with
us all your comments and advices)
In November of this year we'll have the opportunity to welcome Jimmy Wales
in São Paulo (he is a keynote speaker of a business conference) and a group
of volunteers is deeply committed to establish the local chapter beforehand.
They are working hard to follow all the steps recommended by the Chapters
Committee.
(You'll find both the Portuguese and the English version of the bylaws here:

The Wikimedia Foundation's staff, particularly Jay Walsh, Kul Wadhwa and
Delphine Menard, is also helping a lot with the press, business and
chapter's strategies for the establishment of the organization in Brazil.
*We are sincerely thankful for all the support and we welcome everybody
receiving this message to join the discussion and to help launch the
Brazilian Chapter.*
Looking forward hearing from you
(Please come and visit too!)
Thomas

Hey that's good news.
We'll soon, I hope, have a spanish and a portugese speaking chapter.
That's just great.
Good luck with the incorporation.
All the best :)
