Dear All,
Thanks to all who have accepted the meeting invite for the upcoming meeting
on Sunday. I would like to encourage those who have not joined our Telegram
to do so by clicking the link below:
I would also like to inform you that I've asked Derrick to join our meeting
for only 30 mins so that we can reflect on Wikipedia Rwanda Usergroup's
winning of the bid and discuss about selection of the next host country for
2023 which will need to be announced at the end of this years conference.
Best,
Bobby Shabangu
