Activities

We have awarded one small grant to buy a book to help improve articles on Franz Liszt. Furthermore, we have created info pages about our programs to provide funding for community projects[1] and travel[2].
Work has been ongoing on replenishing our stock of Wikipedia themed merchandise. Tangible results are expected by end of March, early April.
We held two smaller scale meetups for our members, at one of them Milos Rancic from Wikimedia Serbia was also present.
Furthermore, a full-day board meeting was held with the main topic being the implementation of our annual plan.[3]
Orsolya, one of our members has participated in the Open Wiki GLAM of Serbia event in Belgrade.[4]
Bence, our vice-president participated in the Paris finance summit.[5]
Bence (later joined by Ting Chen, Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation) has spent a weekend as a guest of Slovene Wikipedians as they were celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Slovene Wikipedia.[6] The anniversary has garnered substantial media attention. On the visit, Bence has discussed the idea of a Slovene Wikipedia chapter and the general process and requirements of establishing a local Wikimedia organisation.
Our office manager has participated in a conference and training about the new laws and regulations governing Hungarian civil society, and has prepared a summary of the regulatory context.[7]
Our website was restored following a crash in January[8]
We have started preparing a campaign to collect 1% income tax allocations from Hungarian donors. A specialized fundraising agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation was agreed to and (as of March 2012) signed.
Csongor Gál has joined our ranks as a communications intern until about April.
