Translations: ±維基媒體理基金理事會推舉 Florence Devouard 任主席[edit]
St. Petersburg, Florida, 2006 年十月廿八日
維基媒體基金會宣布：其理事會已經重組。 Florence Devouard 接 Jimmy Wales 任主席。此重組隨近日（2006年十月廿日至廿二日）於法籣克福召集，有過廿二位維基社羣成員參與之策劃退修會。理事會一致同意推舉 Devouard 任主席, Tim Shell 任副主席, Erik Moeller 任書記, Michael Davis 任司庫。
The action was taken at the suggestion of the outgoing Chair, Jimmy Wales. Wales, the founder of the Wikipedia project, felt that it would be best to pass on the responsibility for this role, due in part to his commitments to outside projects. He will still remain active in Wikimedia projects and assumes the title of Chairman Emeritus of the Foundation.
重組的建議由即將離任的主席詹姆斯維爾斯提出。 維爾斯是維基百科項目的創立人，他認爲 Jimmy Wales said: "I nominated Florence to be the Chair of the Foundation in recognition of her outstanding service for the past few years and her unsurpassed passion for our goals. Having such a trusted community representative elected as our new chair demonstrates the growth and strength of our organization."
Devouard was elected to the Board in 2004 by participants in Wikimedia projects. A native of France, she has been a strong supporter of the multilingual nature of the Wikimedia projects. She is, along with Erik Moeller, one of two elected community representatives on the Board.

Florence Devouard elected Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation[edit]
St. Petersburg, Florida, October 28, 2006
The Wikimedia Foundation has announced a reorganisation of its Board of Trustees, with Florence Devouard replacing Jimmy Wales as Chair of the Board. This followed a recent planning retreat from October 20-22 in Frankfurt, Germany, attended by the Board and more than 20 members of the Wikimedia community. The Board voted unanimously to elect Devouard as the Chair of the Board, with Tim Shell as Vice-Chair, Erik Moeller as Executive Secretary, and Michael Davis as Treasurer.
The action was taken at the suggestion of the outgoing Chair, Jimmy Wales. Wales, the founder of the Wikipedia project, felt that it would be best to pass on the responsibility for this role, due in part to his commitments to outside projects. He will still remain active in Wikimedia projects and assumes the title of Chairman Emeritus of the Foundation.
Jimmy Wales said: "I nominated Florence to be the Chair of the Foundation in recognition of her outstanding service for the past few years and her unsurpassed passion for our goals. Having such a trusted community representative elected as our new chair demonstrates the growth and strength of our organization."
