 Ditto: A warm thanks to WMIT for taking up the call, and to everyone who
 took part in the conference. I enjoyed it tremendously and found both
 formal and informal parts facilitated well.  I regret that I had to fly
 back a day early!

 For those staying on past tonight: as bars go, I recommend the Ostello
 Bello, by Missori station, where a few of us stayed. It is not only an
 excellent hostel, it runs a wonderfully energetic and inexpensive bar with
 2 floors of seating, and table games  guitars to  play.  (Packed every
 night I was there :)

 Sj,
 Just landing in Newark

   And how come an English pub in Italia?! At least the grapa was good.
 ;)
 
 
  As I mentioned to a few people at the time, the beer was mainly German,
  Czech and Irish, and the spirits mainly Scottish, American, Italian and
  Russian,  and the food was mainly nachos.
 
  Might not sound very English but that's exactly like every pub in London.
  :-)
 
  I will now stop spamming the list and get on my flight.

   Hi,
  
   After four months
  
   After 6 years without employees, and 4 months of the recruitment
 process
   (collecting resumes and interviews)  I happy to announce that last
 month
   WMIL hired Executive Director to support the increase in WMIL's
  activities,
   projects, volunteers and professionalization..
  
   Meet Dorit Shafir Dyamant:
  
   Over the last decade she mainly worked at NGO's in a variety of roles:
  from
   marketing  through projects management and producing conferences. She
  have
   MA degree in nonprofit management from the Hebrew University in
 Jerusalem
   and B.A in literature and comparative philosophy from University of
  Haifa.
  
   As a student at the Hebrew University, she founded and produced for 6
  years
   the project Words and poets' - an open evenings meetings for young
  poets.
  
   She married to Itay, and mother to Marom and Shalev. And I quote her,
 I
   love to read three books at the same time, I write primarily for myself
  all
   my life, and I fervently supports positive thinking and action based
   sharing and cross-fertilization.
  
   She will attend the ChapConf in Milan next week and I encourage her
   colleagues (CEO/ED and any chapters representatives or WMF's staff) to
  meet
   her, share tips and welcome her to our Wikimedia family!
  
   Dorit email is do...@wikimedia.org.il and she already been subscribed
 to
   all the relevant mailing lists.
  
   I will use this opportunity also to share our new website (we just
  launched
   it today) - we still have lot of bugs to fix and text improvement, but
 as
   most of you can't understand Hebrew, it will not really change a lot
 for
   you :) (We will launch the English version in the next few weeks):
