[Foundation-l] Since Egypt has shutdown internet, should we too?

[Ting Chen]

Dear Mido,

the Wikimedia movement is like a big family. Even though we sometimes 
quarry with each other but especially in time like this we are all with 
you. In the last days I often think back of the hospitality from all of 
you to so many Wikimedians from all around the world back in Alexandria. 
Read your line about following TV ans Twitter also reminds me of June 
1989 when I followed radio news hour after hour for every news through 
sleepless nights. Back then, very alone, without the community that 
gathered here.

For me it showed again how important it is to have neutral and free 
informations. And I hope that everything turns out good, and everyone 
will be safe at the end.

with my thoughts with you and all our friends there
