Re: [Wikimania-l] Wikimania - annually, with South Africa in 2018?

I actually agree with Pine on this one. I’m actually very disturbed that no chapter from a developing country (with the possible exceptions of Mexico and Argentina) signed off on this letter during Wikimania, despite the presence of a number of affiliates from those countries at Wikimania.
