I was very glad to meet several of those involved at Wikimania Cape Town, and am very pleased to congratulate them on their long work on Wikimedia Korea coming to fruition.
Thank you to AffCom and the BoT, and let's hope this is not the last new chapter / thematic org of 2019!
Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos)
