Hello,
This is such wonderful news.
We have come a long way. This chapter has been two years in the making. I remember our
very first meet-up in July 24, 2010 at Java House, Loita Street along with Oliver, Oscar
and Dennis. Out of the ~20 winners of the Google challenge that I had notified about the
first meeting, only the four of us attended. Despite our failed efforts to proselytize our
fellow participants, we still had hope. Despite the criticisms, we still moved on. Despite
the many failed projects, we've still managed to succeed in little projects, with high
impact. Despite the chaos in this mailing list, the energy amongst us still prevails.
Despite the fact that we're not yet legally recognized, we have managed to impact the
community and partnered with several legally-recognized entities. Despite the huge gender
gap in the global Wikimedia movement, we have managed to get a fair number of (awesome)
ladies on board. Despite our differences, we are bonded by camaraderie.
And yes, I would like a cake too. Or a bash. Or going back to Java where it all started.
Whatever.
Warm regards,
Abbas.
