Hello everyone,
This is a gentle reminder that the Wikimedia UK office will be hosting an
IRC Office Hours chat tomorrow from 1730 GMT. Everyone is welcome. Some of
the staff (and hopefully Trustees) of Wikimedia UK will be on hand to
answer any questions you might have about recent activity.
It was a pleasure to host you all and glad you made progress. Will pass
your thanks on to Richard Nevell.
Jon Davies
CEO UK Chapter.
PS Hope you were all warm enough.
