Hi Anna I think you worked for the municipality of Tarragona. I wonder if you had any relationship with tarracowiki: www.tarracowiki.cat
Sorry if I have confused you with another Anna Torres Adell. Anyway welcome to Anna and congratulations to Wikimedia Argentina. 2014-02-22 7:08 GMT+01:00 <wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org>: > Send Wikimedia-l mailing list submissions to > wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org > > > Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2014 18:49:37 -0300 > From: Galileo Vidoni <gali...@gmail.com> > To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org> > Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Announcing Anna Torres Adell as new Wikimedia > Argentina ED > Message-ID: > < > cadibolicsjr1kh5m+eyks+tmacg+apjkiugvjsvphjkbs9q...@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > > Dear movement fellows, > > I'm pleased to announce that Wikimedia Argentina has a new Executive > Director.
