Thanks very much for this announcement, Hasive.
I'd like to take a moment to refresh our collective memory from June of last year. The Wikimedians who organized the Wikimedia Bangladesh Foundation made extraordinary efforts to found their chapter, and the chapter's approval under the Societies Registration Act of Bangladesh in June 2014 was a remarkable achievement. The *Signpost *discussed this in a special report, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2014-06-18/Specia... .
Congratulations to Wikimedia Bangladesh and Bengali Wikipedia for this anniversary and conference.
