Hi everyone, It's been a while since we posted here - thanks for all your support with the onboarding experiment! I wanted to share that we recently announced our next *Language Community Meeting*, which will take place on *May 30th at 15:00 UTC*!
Some of you might be interested in this particular edition, as we plan to cover results from the onboarding experiment and hear experiences from a Nigerian contributor who contributes to the Obolo wiki, which was part of this experiment. If you are interested in joining the meeting, you can sign up on the wiki page: < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Language_and_Product_Localization/Community_meetings#30_May_2025 > We look forward to your ideas and participation at the Language Community Meeting, see you there!
