[Foundation-l] Omidyar Network Commits $2 Million Grant to Wikimedia Foundation

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
Gregory, at Wikimania people are REALLY busy with the business of our
organisation and your notion that there might be people that are their

Realistically if you get a message  in the first place, do not expect
anything within a weak ... Alternatively hold your breath ... and maybe this
will make a difference ...
Thanks.
