Fantastic news. Thanks for sharing with us, Carlos.

It's exciting to read over some of the group's future plans to do some institutional engagement with museums, archives, and with local universities. : )

Dear all,

It is my pleasure to announce, on behalf of the Affiliations Committee, the recognition of a new Wikimedia User Group: Wikimedia Community User Group Sri Lanka [1].

Among the goals are increasing the awareness of the different Wikimedia Projects in Sri Lanka and empowering people to contribute in English, Sinhala and Tamil, especially in those topics related to Sri Lanka. Additionally, they plan on collaborating with GLAM institutions and hopefully participating soon in inter-affiliate events like Wiki Loves Monuments, for instance.

Welcome, colleagues from Sri Lanka!!!
