[Wikimedia Announcements] Chapter report Wikimedia Nederland, December 2010

This is the chapter report for Wikimedia Nederland for December 2010 Fundraiser Work on the fundraiser continued throughout December, with several improvements with respect to landing page and banners which showed to be successful. New year cards New year cards were designed and printed again. They were sent to all members and several relevant contacts by mail with an invitation (when relevant) to the new year reception / Wikipedia's 10th birthday party on January 15, 2011. Active volunteers and contacts were thanked properly with a hand written message on the cards. Reactions were positive. In total some 180-200 cards were sent. For all those that did not receive a card, hereby the best wishes of Wikimedia Nederland for 2011: File:WMNL2010-Nieuwjaar2011-Front (HighRes).jpg<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WMNL2010-Nieuwjaar20… Wiki Loves Monuments 2011 First steps were taken to come to a European Wiki Loves Monuments 2011. We reached out to other chapters to find out whether they are interested in such event, to be organized on a national level with international cooperation. A post mortem was published ( Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/post_mortem<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wi…) with information about how it was organized and tips and tricks. When it was established that there is sufficient interest, a mailing list was created to coordinate efforts ([1]<https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments> ). Amsterdam Museum The Amsterdam Museum (formerly Amsterdam Historisch Museum) will release in January as a birthday present to Wikipedia her digitized collection under a free license! This will be celebrated at January 15 in the Amsterdam Historisch Museum. More details will follow in the January 2011 report.
