Hello everyone,

Some great news from Wales today to celebrate Wikipedia's birthday. The National Library of Wales has appointed a full-time Wikimedian in Residence.

Jason Evans has been appointed and begins work on Monday.Many thanks to the Library for their commitment to sharing open knowledge and to Robin Owain for all of his efforts that went into making this happen.

You can read more details in this blog post (also available in Welsh). 

Thanks and regards,

Stevie
