Just a personal testimonial also to emphasize Marc's point and not necessarily when I did a work for WMF as a contractor, my previous girlfriend got interesting in Wikimedia projects after she saw somethings I worked on my spare time as a volunteer. She even began to write at Wikimedia Brasil mailing list and outreach Wikimedia projects. ;)
In fact, she still does sometimes some outreach and have even participate of a Wikimedia meeting recently. (Well, better not say her opinion on Wikidramas, totally aligned with mine : ) Tom 2014-05-28 11:04 GMT-03:00 Marc A.
