FYI > Dear fellow Wikimedians, > > On 23 March, 36 Wikimedia CH members met for the 8th General Assembly at the > Youth Hostel in Zurich, the same location where the next Wikimedia Hackathon > is going to be held in May. The total membership has increased by 66% to 387 > members at the end of 2013. > > The annual activity report presented the major achievements of the year under > the slogan „Closer to the Wikimedians, closer to the Wikimedia Projects“, > emphasizing that community support has become the main priority for the Swiss > chapter. It has seen an increase in staff from one to four employees plus a > part-time IT contractor. This additional manpower has been helpful to carry > on various successful projects in the GLAM and education areas, and to > promote Wikipedia offline (for example Kiwix in jail). The Wiki Loves > Monuments photo contest was another success story, with the unexpected first > place of a Swiss railway picture in the international selection. > > Several of the bylaws modifications proposed by the Board have been accepted, > while others have been rejected by the members present. > > There were 8 candidates for 6 open seats on the Board. The future composition > of the Board after the election: > Patrick Kenel, President (reelected) > Frédéric Schütz, Vice President (reelected) > Bagawathram Maheswaran, Treasurer (reelected) > Gabriel Thullen (reelected) > Mauro Cassina (reelected) > Stéphane Coillet-Matillon (new) > > Matina Hämmerli, who has been elected as a new member one year ago, was not > reelected. We thank her for the time she spent to work with us on the Board. > In accordance with the bylaws, the new Board will take over its one-year term > 60 days after the GA. > > Patrick Kenel > ~~~~ > Wikimedia CH - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens > www.wikimedia.ch > > > _______________________________________________ > Chapters mailing list > chapt...@wikimedia.ch > https://intern.wikimedia.ch/lists/listinfo/chapters
