Hello everyone,

Here's a Friday treat for you. As you may have heard, Wikimedia Commons reached the landmark of 15 million files donated last week. To mark the occasion, Commons contributor Deryck Chan took the time to write a guest blog for us, telling the story of how he became involved in the project and why it's important. 

You can read the blog at http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2012/12/wikimedia-commons-reaches-15-million-files/ - many thanks to Deryck for his contribution!

Thanks and regards,

Stevie
