Adam Koenigsberg (CastAStone)[edit]
| Podsumowanie |
|
|---|---|
| Program kandydata | BA: The College of Wooster MBA (kandydat): The Ohio State University, marketing w biznesie Słuchanie i koordynacja w celu osiągnięcia konsensusu w trudnych i długotrwałych problemach gdyż jest coś ważniejszego niż nasze ego. Tego nauczyłem się w trakcie moich pięciu lat pracy w radzie organizacji non-profit i stypendium w Senacie USA. Doświadczenie w zarządzaniu kampaniami politycznymi dało mi umiejętność zdobywania funduszy bez sprzedawania naszych zasad, coś czego Wikipedia teraz potrzebuje. Te doświadczenia połączone z moim MBA dało mi umiejętność przedstawiania trudnych decyzji Radzie Nadzorczej wykorzystując moje szkolenie w marketingu i finansach. Wikimedia dla mnie oznacza niesienie światu wiedzy poprzez Dokładność, Otwartość i Szacunek. Czekam na możliwość współpracy przez następne 2 lata by podtrzymać te ideały. Wybierzcie mnie na członka Rady na lata 2009-2011. Nie tylko spełnię ale i przekroczę oczekiwania. |

Brady Brim-DeForest (Bradybd)[edit]
| Podsumowanie | 
|
|---|---|
| Program kandydata | As a Trustee, I will be an advocate of open, transparent dialogue with the community and will strive to serve as both its voice and its messenger.
Specifically, I will:
I have an extensive background in non-profit management and board experience that spans both the non-profit and for-profit worlds. Outside Wikimedia: I work at Tubefilter. I am an active participant in the DataPortability Project, where I have served as a member of the Steering Group and Treasurer of the Board since early 2008. I am a member and Secretary of the Open Web Foundation, a member of the OpenID Foundation, and a co-founder of the OpenFriends Project. I also lead efforts at Open Soil to create an open source model for seed licensing. |
Dan Rosenthal (Swatjester)[edit]
| Podsumowanie | 
|
|---|---|
| Program kandydata | Wierzę, że posiadam wiedzę oraz doświadczenie wymagane do zasiadania w Radzie Powierniczej Fundacji Wikimedia. Jestem członkiem Komitetu Komunikacji Fundacji, jej rzecznikiem oraz przedstawicielem OTRS Legal Queue. Jestem także zaangażowany w działalność społeczności poza internetem: uczestniczyłem w kilku Wikispotkaniach, pomagałem Wikiakademii NIH oraz brałem udział w akcji Wikipedia Loves Art w Waszyngtonie. I’m a clinical student attorney with the Glushko-Samuelson Intellectual Property Clinic and will be receiving my J.D. in May from American University, a top tier law school. Posiadam doświadczenie w zasiadaniu w radze, zarządzałem także budżetem rocznym w wysokości 750 tysięcy dolarów.
Spotykałem pracowników biura wielokrotnie i uważam, że są to fantastyczni, utalentowani oraz oddani ludze. Zadaniem Rady nie jest mieszanie się w ich codzienne sprawy, lecz kierowanie i nadzorowanie Fundacją jako całością. Pomogę to zrealizować poprzez nawiązanie strategicznej współpracy z podobnie nastawionymi organizacjami. Przykładowo, rozpocząłem współpracę z Amerykańskim Muzeum Sztuki Smithsonian, która zaowocowała porozumieniem umożliwiającym dodanie do Commons sporej części ich cyfrowej kolekcji. |
Domas Mituzas (Midom)[edit]
| Podsumowanie | 
|
|---|---|
| Program kandydata | I've worked on core site technology and operations since 2004, and joined the WMF Board of Trustees in January 2008 - thus participated evolution of both technology and organization over the long years.
I see Wikimedia Foundation as a service organization, assisting communities with the projects, and maintaining the infrastructure for creativity and collaboration - providing legal groundwork, communication environment and of course, the free content technology. Organization itself is and should be, due to financing model, always ensuring high efficiency, and always be ready to balance between needs, wishes and capabilities. I'd like to represent a much larger community, not only editors bearing voting rights. There is wide audience of non-contributing users, who have their needs, and for those needs we are or should be working. There are advocates of our work and our mission, and we should assist them. This organization is just part of greater movement, which has chapters, sister organizations and all the volunteers - and it is important to steer it, to maintain the most sustainable balance, ensuring availability of free content for ages ahead - empowering each other. |
Gerard Meijssen (GerardM)[edit]
| Podsumowanie | 
|
|---|---|
| Program kandydata | I have been involved in many projects, Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Commons, translatewiki.net and I learned that a lack of technology, a lack or support and a lack of organisation hamper our projects. I am a firm believer in "putting your money where your mouth is" and I have invested in technology like OmegaWiki, the LocalisationUpdate extension and the proof of concept for a multilingual search for Commons. I will seek resources to realise with priority the missing functionality needed to properly support our existing languages and projects.
As a result of my advocacy for the support for the languages other then English, I became part of the language committee, a member of the World Language Documentation Centre. As a result of my interest in quality illustrations for our projects I promote digital restorations and I am instrumental in good relations with several Dutch GLAM. As a board member, I will seek to balance the needs of the other languages and cultures. I strongly believe that there is this Wikimedia movement and, in my experience we need to partner with organisations that share our values. Together we will realise our aim; to share the sum of all knowledge with everyone. |
Gregory Kohs (Thekohser)[edit]
| Podsumowanie | 
|
|---|---|
| Program kandydata | I have an agenda to lift the accountability, professionalism, and excellence of the Wikimedia projects' leadership and content. I am a marketing research practitioner at a Fortune 100 media and communications company employing approximately 100,000 people. I have also played instrumental roles in launching several Internet brands, including MyWikiBiz.com and Akahele.org (the output of a non-profit corporation). I serve on the Boards of two different non-profit organizations. I'm happily married (sorry, gals) and I have one highly exuberant daughter.
I firmly believe that the WMF Board of Trustees is in need of a good shake-up, as it is engineering the growth of the Wikimedia properties, staff, and budgets with alarming speed, while doing almost nothing to curb the culture of unaccountability, lack of professionalism, and sub-average content quality. The "Wiki Way" was paved with good intentions, but lately harm to individuals and embarrassing disrepute seem to be more frequently ruling the day; so, it is time to step up and start making the hard decisions needed to save the Wikimedia projects from destroying themselves. |
José Gustavo Góngora (Góngora)[edit]
| Podsumowanie | 
|
|---|---|
| Program kandydata | As an English linguistics student who respects plurality, I consider myself suitable for taking this task and communicating with other people internationally. I study at UNED, a distance learning university. For this reason, I can organize my time and, if elected, participate in board duties.
Furthermore, I have been involved with the Spanish Arbitration Committee (aka CRC) during one year. I am also an administrator and bureaucrat since 2007. Apart from that, I am currently a checkuser on the Catalan wikipedia project, from where I am also preparing a talk that will take place in Wikimania 2009, in Argentina, next August. I have been able to earn the community confidence in those projects. In other words, I feel highly committed with Wikimedia projects and principles. As an experienced translator, who has attended and organized several wiki-meetings, with more than 100 articles translated, I feel myself able to translate Wikimedia policy if necessary. I have promoted Wikimedia projects worldwide in countries such as Uruguay, Spain or Andorra, in several interviews with the Media. I would like to keep on doing my job by assuming this responsibility from now onwards. |
Kevin Riley O'Keeffe (KevinOKeeffe)[edit]
| Podsumowanie | 
|
|---|---|
| Program kandydata | Since I have become active at Wikipedia, I have noted that while every single episode of South Park has its own article, numerous topics which are of interest and genuine intellectual concern to those of us on the far right, have been treated with apparent disdain, and have been subjected to seemingly arbitrary deletion. It often seems to me as if articles that are of interest to persons on the political right, are held to a significantly higher standard, for the purposes of achieving notability.
My candidacy is derived from my concerns pertaining to the issue of freedom of speech, or perhaps more precisely, the objectivity of the administration of the WikiMedia Foundation's various projects, with particular emphasis on what I have come to perceive as a liberal-leftist bias ("political correctness") with regard to the administration of Wikipedia. I do not claim this is a huge problem. On the contrary, I have a very high regard for Wikipedia, as well as for the Wikimedia Foundation's efforts as a whole. However, my experiences at Wikipedia, as well as what I have learned in conversations with various others who have had similar experiences, have led me to conclude that this has become an issue that requires redress, and thus is one that can perhaps be best dealt with by having a sympathetic ear on the Board of Directors of the WikiMedia Foundation. |

| Podsumowanie | 
|
|---|---|
| Program kandydata | After I finish high-school next year, I intend to pursue an Honours Degree in nuclear physics at Stellenbosch University, South Africa. I am a committed team player, but confident in taking the lead when required. I am determined, organised, and hard working. I have made significant contributions to the English Wikipedia, having both “Rollback” and “Account creator” rights. I also collaborate on Spotlight.
I truly believe that I would make a great trustee. Although I am young, I am capable and mature. By striving for the impossible I always achieve the possible. Being on the board would give me the opportunity to make a significant difference. My main goal is to get South Africa, but also Africa, to become more involved with the Wikimedia Foundation. This would bring financial support, increased involvement, and help the Foundation to expand into largely untapped geographical regions. Being part of the Board of Trustees is one of my greatest dreams. By becoming a trustee, I could help the Foundation expand in untapped geographical regions. I am not seeking prestige or power; I would be highly motivated knowing that I could help achieve the Foundation's goals. So please, do not pre-judge me. I have what it takes. |

Kat Walsh (mindspillage)[edit]
| Podsumowanie | 
|
|---|---|
| Program kandydata | I have been a WMF board member since October '06. I will finish my JD this year at George Mason, focusing on copyright, patent, trademark, policy, and economics, and have been an editor of the Journal of Law, Economics, and Policy. I am also a registered patent agent and a classical musician.
I see my role thus far as a "conscience", helping keep the board focused on Wikimedia's core values and principles: freedom, openness, neutrality, transparency, collaboration. I have a commitment to and understanding of free content and free software, the communities around them, and their ideals, goals, and practical aspects. I think it's also important to stand back and encourage independent community action, growth, and experimentation. I see the board as working on a big-picture level, creating a framework for decentralized community effort, and thinking both on the short term and the very, very long term. Some key projects I have been involved with include the license transition, licensing policy, patents/file formats, staff search/hiring/evaluation, subnational chapters, board restructuring, and the development of a professional office compliant with good nonprofit practices. |
Ralph Potdevin (Aruspice)[edit]
| Podsumowanie | 
|
|---|---|
| Program kandydata | As an engineer, currently unemployed, and a former student in computer sciences, cognitive science and electr(on)ical engineering, I think I have the skills required to imply in WM and the Wikipedias in particular. I appreciate and support the seriousness, independency, democracy and open-mindedness of Wikipedias. I regularly improve the French Wikipedia, essentially, by correcting typos, changing bad syntax into good and the like, and participating in the redaction of articles. I intervene in discussions and votes on page suppressions and so on. I'm doing my best to continuously continuing to learn wiki syntax and thus making more efficient contributions. I would be very glad to go on that way in the coming months, as a community member and why not as a board member. |

| Program kandydata | Nazywam się Steve Smith i jestem studentem prawa z Kanady. I am a former business manager for a non-profit with annual revenues in excess of half a million dollars and a former director of three different non-profit corporations and one for-profit. While this 1200 character limit is awfully restrictive, my platform is as follows:

| Podsumowanie |

|---|---|
| Program kandydata | O mnie: Mam 47 lat, rodzinę i 3 dzieci, pracuję jako specjalista medycyny wewnętrznej, medycyny sportowej i jako starszy lekarz ratownictwa medycznego w wiejskim regionie Bawarii. Dużą część wolnego czasu poświęcam na pracę dla Wikipedii, because I know that a vision only lives from people working for it.
The fact that Wikipedia is not only an innovation but a vision, that's no secret. ... and even a vision that has been high-flying so far. In addition, wiki succeeded not only in defining, but also in implementing transnational ideals and values. Some wiki-projects do run very good, others more hesitant. So, a vision is not a self-runner, but needs consistent support and goals. What they actually need, no one knows better than the community itself; so I (in case of being choosen) will be a board member "to touch" - who will try to realize your ideas (and not just my own). I have some experience in the leadership of volunteer organizations (although not on the global stage ☺). It would be a great honor for me to be allowed to represent your interest in the Board. |

| Podsumowanie | 
|
|---|---|
| Program kandydata | Wikimedia should be a model for open, scalable organizations.
Poza Wikimedią: Od 3 lat jestem dyrektorem organizacji Jeden Laptop na Dziecko, pracującej w ramach lokalnych partnerstw na rzecz wolnej dystrybucji treści. |

| Program kandydata | Zostałem wybrany na członka zarządu w ubiegłym roku. W zeszłym roku aktywnie pracowałem nad różnymi uchwałami i tematami w radzie w tym: rezolucją o BLP, zmianą polityki licencjonowania. To nazwy tylko dwóch najbardziej znanych z nich. Jestem w radzie powoływania komisji a także jednym z jej przedstawicieli na posiedzeniach Komitetu. Jesienią ubiegłego roku byłem z Jimmym Wales'em w Pekinie, w Chinach by wyjaśnić naszą pracę, misję i cel chińskim urzędnikom i przekonać ich by zostawili projekty Wikimediów odblokowane po igrzyskach olimpijskich. Uważam to za swój obowiązek, aby na bieżąco informować społeczność o tym, co zarząd oraz Fundacja robi, myśli i planuje oraz by przekazywać opinie społeczności do rady i fundacji. Pomimo mojego zawodu, pracy w radzie oraz innych rzeczy w moim życiu dotrzymałem mojej obietnicy by pozostać członkiem wspólnoty, brać udział w dyskusji o różnych kontrowersyjnych tematach jako członek wspólnoty i wciąż pracować na Wikipedii. Od czasu mojej elekcji napisałem wiele nowych tekstów na temat zh-wp lub dopracowałem zalążki do normalnych artykułów. Wciąż pracuje w administracji porządkując teksty i obrazy, pomagając proszącym SUL. Chciałbym wciąż wykonywać wszystkie te prace w ciągu następnych dwóch lat jako członek wspólnoty oraz jako członek zarządu. |
