Re: [Wikitech-l] Board elections : organisation team

Hello The organisation team will be Danny Britty Datrio BjarteSorensen We will also be helped by Tim Starling on the technical side. Bjarte will be able to assist/control the technical settings. Two candidates were not kept (I explain below why, nothing personal), and Danny suggested that we add to the team Britty, which I thought was a very good idea. Upon asking, she accepted. Why did we keep these names ? (and not others...) First, I thought a team of 3-4 was a good idea. More would be harder to organise. Danny was already the organiser last year, so will bring the weight of knowledge on top of his own abilities. All people kept have been active for several months at least, so know community dynamics. All people kept are both active on meta AND on irc, which unable vivid and immediate discussions. People chosen represent 4 continents, several languages and several projects. We hope that this will further stimulate the idea the project is international and all languages should get involved on meta issues. Britty represents the female touch and her involvement in translation issues will be most appreciated. Bjarte is a rather newcomer in the meta team (good to avoid formation of cabal...and renew blood). Datrio is very involved in wikinews (and should keep the team aware all projects are involved :-)). Here we are ! The new team has already escaped in #wikimedia-conclave so I can not tell you more. We will keep them informed of the last basic requirements soon. If there is an opposition to one of those, please explain why now or keep your words within you forever ;-) Anthere __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
