- To fulfill with the standards of the Affiliations Committee was modified the name of the group to Wikimedia Small Projects in Spanish. Was created a communiqué reflecting the change and the fact that the support to other linguistic communities will not be modified.

Ongoing discussions
- Was proposed a change for the Linguistic Commission because of the peak in members. You can comment in Taberna (if you are Spanish speaker), Pub (if you are English speaker) or Lounge (if you are German speaker).
Miscellaneous
- On April 22 was approved SmallProjects, a research project that will allow us to fully understand the fate of small projects and the reasons why affiliates do not take them into account. It is the pilot of an ambitious project that will focus all projects in any language.
- We have reached twenty members! We hope to keep moving forward to reach the goal.
