Background

edit

This annual term (2022–2023) of the user group shows a spike increase in our activities, with a total of 24 meetups held in the past one year, the most within one year since our user group founding in 2017. We even saw the first meetup held in Sarawak and Putrajaya. Engagement with various institutions (namely educational institutions and embassies) had been greatly expanded. Focus was made to recruit more and more new editors and we also managed to established the first Wikimedia student club, based in Sabah.
