Hi everyone!
I'm very happy to announce that the Affiliations Committee has recognized [1] the Wikimedians in Residence Exchange Network User Group [2] as a Wikimedia User Group. The group aims to protect the common elements of the Wikimedian in Residence role, creating a peer support network which invites new and experienced Wikimedians in Residence to find each other for collaboration, and to encourage a global professional environment which inspires institutions to offer appointments to persons to engage with Wikimedia projects.
Please join me in congratulating the members of this new user group!
Regards, Kirill Lokshin Chair, Affiliations Committee
