Hello Maarten
I am very happy to see that you are offering to help us in the near future! I am quite
excited, because I believe that we can learn a lot from you, as you have experience with
chapter administration. I heading home tomorrow, but will be back in Stellenbosch during
the first week of January. If you are in the area, which is very close to Cape Town, I
will be willing to show you around. Just drop me a mail. I really hope you enjoy it here
in South Africa!
Kind regards
Lourie

Subject: [Wikimedia ZA] About me + problem in SA
Hi all,
I'm Maarten from Belgium. I am new and I want to present myself to the mailing list.
At the end of this year, I will move to South Africa for my new job (a green energy firm),
they have a small team in Durban. During my stay (2 y), I will be happy to help the South
African Wikipedia team.
More about my Wiki work: I have been very active on the Dutch Wikipedia (I'm now
almost 6 years admin), and I helped organising a number of events in Belgium. I was the
main organiser of the Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM) Belgium/Luxembourg event, and with a
small team we are struggling to set up a Belgian
chapter. This is very complicated
due to the language problems in
Belgium. I would really be thrilled to convince the team to organise the WLM competition
in SA too. It's an ideal starter ('pilot programme') for a chapter.
However, I have a problem. I will arrive in SA on December 27 (Durban/CT: not yet
determined), and lodging / car / ... will be arranged for. But due to some unforseen
changes, my colleagues won't be able to accompany me until 6 January. Who can help me
and wants to show me the region during this period (incl. New year's eve)?
Grtz,
Maarten
