[Wikimedia-l] What were the most important news in the Wikimedia movement last month?

[Tilman Bayer]

And again this month, suggestions are welcome for the most notable or
interesting news items from the Wikimedia universe (outside the scope
of WMF's own monthly report), for the upcoming May "Wikimedia
Highlights", at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Highlights#Movement_news_items_for_May_2012
until Sunday morning UTC, or also comments on the existing suggestions:

*Trustees for chapter-selected Board seats nominated and confirmed
*WikiWomenCamp 2012
*GLAM activities in Africa (and related to Africa)

Thanks!
