Dear Shupai, Kindly remind me what resolution did we take on the issue Deon is raising. I remember him raising that he applied for the Wikimedian in Residence position and he made a follow up why he was not selected as a candidate but instead he was informed they don't recognize Afrikaans, @Deon correct me if I'm wrong here!
I think I said I was going to write a letter to chastise them for such kind of harsh response since Rossouw an Afrikaans speaker played a pivotal role in this project. And I remember Michael speaking but my internet went down I don't remember how we finally said we were gonna move forward with this issue? Kindly remind me so that I respond immediately.
