Dear members Since under the chapter's rules I'm still a member of WMAU until 30 June—at which time no membership will be revewable for anyone under the rules, I'm sorry to say—may I ask whether the minutes of today's "committee" meeting will be posted promptly, unlike last time? Looking at th

I don't think the Foundation will supply a letter, unless you have a particular person there in mind. This would not be a Wikemedian in residence, but an artist in residence, funded by Canberra and supported by "a written commitment" from the chapter (what would that commitment be?). Who is app
