Dear all,
It is an honour for me to announce that during Wikimania, the WMF resolved
[1] to recognise Wikimedia Belgium as a Wikimedia chapter. The resolution
was made public a few days ago.
The first discussions towards the establishment of a Belgian chapter
started many years ago, with the local community doing projects related to
freedom of knowledge since then, like organisation of WLM Belgium &
Luxembourg in 2011, 2012 and 2013. Along with these and other activities,
the idea of a chapter grew and evolved to the moment when, the decision was
taken to start officially the chapter creation process.
This process took longer than usual, due to many reasons, among those the
change in the chapter approval process by the WMF Board last year.
Nevertheless, after months of intensive discussion and interaction between
all parties involved, a recommendation from the AffCom was sent to the WMF
regarding Wikimedia Belgium. And here we are :-)
Please welcome the newest member of the family of Wikimedia affiliates!
Regards,
Carlos
