Extension request

[edit]

New end date

[edit]

I'd like to ask for end of July to submit the final report.

Rationale

[edit]

We will do a WLA photo exhibition at Wikimania, so final expenses are likely to get in early July. And it would be lovely to also add about the photo exhibition itself in the final report :)

I will start and get most of the final report ready in June but propose to finalize it just after Wikimania.

Thank you
