Dear all,
In the Frankfurt retreat of October 2007 (see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Report_from_Frankfurt_-_October_2006/en ) it was envisioned that someone should be charged with the fostering of relationships between Chapters and Foundation as well as with the developing of Chapters and related activities. This is actually a job which has been developed, and officially been done for quite a while already, by Delphine Ménard, as you all may know.
On the current path of stabilizing and professionalizing the organization, the Wikimedia Foundation has decided to now hire Delphine Ménard as Chapters Coordinator (part-time), starting as of today, February 1st, 2007. It is my honor, as board member especially responsible for relationships with chapters, to announce this to you.
Since it is a bit pointless to welcome someone already so involved in Wikimedia, please allow me to express my warmest congratulations to Delphine, I am looking forward to a fruitful cooperation :-)
Best regards, Oscar
