Kind regards,

Dear all,
Some good news I'd like to relay: recently the Board of Trustees invited Nhlanhla Mabaso to join the Advisory Board of the Wikimedia Foundation. You can learn more about him here: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Advisory_Board
Given his experience in the free culture/ free software movements in South Africa - and Africa in general - there will be lots of good advice coming our way! And for those who haven't met him yet, I hope you will in the weeks and months to come.
Best wishes, Achal
