Hi there,
This is excellent news. Congrats to Nhlanhla, and to the Wikimedia
Foundation for gaining a valuable Advisory Board member.
Kind regards,
Karien

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
