2015-12-30 Thread Santiago Navarro 
Thank you Winifred for your words. I remember a discussion with Katy 
Love in Mexico City and she shared with me that an APG needs very hard 
work. After seeing a simple APG process I can say, yes, she was right. 
This king of new grants is a new oportunity for groups that want to 
apply for their first annual grant. I know that we must work a lot to 
spend the money of the community the best as possible and get the more 
impact as possible.


I want to say thank you to Winifred, but also Katy, Kacie and all the 
people who helped us in with this. And of course, to the committee for 
their recommendations.

Besides producing four quality recommendations this month (found on

work, and offered constructive and supportive feedback to the 
applicants.


I also want to recognize and congratulate our first four grantees:
Wikimedia Czech Republic, Wikimedia Eesti, Wikimedia Espana, and 
Shared

job
engaging during every phase of the grants process, and we are

In response to feedback about the grants process

process, and overcome the difficulties of having to coordinate 8 different
timezones, as well as improving the S-APG process on-the-fly. Remarkable!

I was thinking of ways that farmers might use Wikipedia. Or maybe that a
group of them had gotten together to improve our content in Ag. Or
something. But no such luck...

Hi all,

Several organizations have held AGMs and (re)elected boards.

Congratulations to Wikimedia Deutschland for electing a new board. Great
wisdom and strength to them in their transitional period.

Congratulations to Wikimedia Israel (WMIL) who reelected the board of WMIL
and to WMHU for reelecting a new board.

Finally good luck to Giuliana Mancini as the new Executive Director of
Wikimedia Italia.

Dear all,

As board liaison to the Election Committee, I would like to take this
opportunity to heartily congratulate the successful candidates for the
Board of Trustees, the Funds Dissemination Committee, and for the FDC
Ombudsperson elections. I would also like to thank all those who
participated in these three elections, as well as those who voted in them.

The Election Committee made all this happen - many thanks to all committee
members for working since March to manage and bring these elections to a
successful conclusion (and for announcing the results well before the
deadline of June 28).

And a very special thanks to Risker, for her tireless and determined work
on this committee, for consistently stepping up to the plate and for
ensuring that things moved forward at each and every stage.

[Wikimedia-l] Congratulations

Hello,
My warm congratulations to the people chosen to the WMF board, and to the
FDC positions, and also my thankfulness to those who were candidates.
Running for a public office is a lot of work and even more to invest time
and energy in such a position. Without these people, things would be a lot
less democratic in the world.
Kind reards
