<div style="margin-top:5pt;margin-bottom:5pt;"><font face="Calibri"> </font></div>
<div style="margin-top:5pt;margin-bottom:5pt;"><font face="Calibri">DPLA is seeking members for the new Wikimedia Working Group (WWG), which has recently been approved for formation. This is an opportunity to shape and help further the collaborative work of
the DPLA Member Network, to share expertise with and learn from Hub and DPLA colleagues, and to help address common needs and challenges. </font></div>
<div style="margin-top:5pt;margin-bottom:5pt;"><font face="Calibri"> </font></div>
<div style="margin-top:5pt;margin-bottom:5pt;"><font face="Calibri">The working group seeks to continue work started by DPLA's grant-funded Wikimedia project, improving the capacity and sustainability of the project through such initiatives as improving documentation,
supporting project participants, and driving new cross-network collaborations. Anyone who contributes to or works with a hub or is active in the DPLA community is encouraged to apply.
