[WMCEE-l] [WikiBG-Info] Wikimedia CEE Meeting preparation - we need your input!

[Juan de Vojníkov]

Good to hear Vassia that, youd like to attend. The shyness is quite common
within wikimedians. We have 90 very active and 250 active contributers to
cs.wp and only 20 visit regular meetings. Have you tried to get social
people "to" wp?

I think many chapters had to translate bylaws for WMF so they will be
available.

Regards,

Juandev
