Програма кандидата |
I am Capsot, the editor sorely praised in the high places. I deem that the core of the projects is its editors who deserve much more than what they get now. Якщо мене виберуть, то я буду виконувати:
As you can deduce from my general block a while ago, and still in Meta, some prominent people in the high places fear me ; so take your chance to frighten them as well voting for one of the few candidates really committed to change, truth and transparency. |

Програма кандидата | Працюю інженером комп'ютерної безпеки, також перекладаю книги.
Приєднався до Єврейської WP у 2004 році. Я адміністратор протягом 6 років і бюрократ протягом останніх 4 років. Я є одним із засновників WM Ізраїль і входжу до складу її управління. Проводжу безліч роз’яснювальних робіт на різних форумах. Я пов’язаний з зародженням GLAM в Ізраїлі. Я глибоко пов’язаний з Вікіманією 2011, де я відповідаю за реєстрацію та отримання знань. Я був присутній на Вікіманії '07 і '10, а також на ChapConf11. Я вірю у громадський рух, який є великим, децентралізованим і різноманітним, з достатньою кількістю місця для спільноти, WMF й інших зацікавлених сторін. Вірю в те, що кожен має своє значиме місце у виконанні різних завдань. Якщо мене оберуть до складу Ради, я маю намір просувати свою діяльність у таких напрямках:

Програма кандидата | Я народився і зростав в Китаї. Вивчав Електричну Інженерію в Німеччині, де й зараз живу та працюю спеціалістом з інформаційних технологій. Моя робота в проектах все ще на низькому рівні: виправлення, переклади, адміністрування, намагаюся розв’язувати конфлікти і, за можливістю, допомагаю новачкам. Мене обрали довіреною особою у 2008 році, а в 2009 році мене було знову обрано. Наразі мене включено до складу ради.
Якщо мене оберуть, цілями моєї роботи будуть:

Програма кандидата | Я — професійний письменник та консультант із легкості читання.
I was a writer in public relations and technical writing for 21 years. I am on the Readability SIG of the International Reading Association and a member of the Society of Technical Communications since 1985. I have been very active in the Plain Language Association International since 1995. Since 2001, I have been a consultant in plain language and readability. My clients include the National Aviation Administration, California Public Utilities Commission, Los Angeles County Department of Consumer Affairs, and the Los Angeles Department of Public Social Services. I have written extensively on readability and my publications include Smart Language: Readers, Readability, and the Grading of Texts, Unlocking Language: The Classic Readability Studies, The Principles of Readability, and the Plain Language at Work Newsletter, all offered free on my Website with many other instructive materials. I enjoy contributing to Wikipedia very much. I was a major contributor to the English pages on The history of Los Angeles, Readability, George R. Klare, and William S. Gray. My interest in joining the board is to make the language of Wikipedia more accessible to the general reader. There is a vast body of research on readability that could make a major impact on increasing readership. I also am interested in working with the Simple Wikipedia editors and creating a Plain Language Project. I am also interested in the discussions on general editing policies. |

Програма кандидата | As a long-time Wikimedian I have done a bit of everything. I became an enwiki sysop in 2003 and founded its ArbCom; I'm now an enwiki CheckUser/OverSight, and Commons sysop. I help out each Wikimania, ran IRC, and even wrote bits of code. I was the Foundation's Chief Research Officer, Wikimedia UK's founding Secretary, and a few more rôles, but now outside the Wikimedia bodies (just a member of Wikimedia NL), I've gained some perspective. I work to open up the British Government, leading data.gov.uk on strategy, technical issues, governance and finance, so the Board's duties are familiar to me.
I share community worries about some critical items for the Board:
We need better understanding between the projects - it's tough to find out what's going on to learn or offer help. As someone who only speaks English, I rely on translations, which are vital. I'd have regular project updates shared, as with Chapters, and restart the Embassy. |

Програма кандидата | Я багато займаюся відносинами у Вікімедіа. Між нашими редакторами, організаціями та нашими читачами. Ця фундація є важливою центровою організацією в цьому русі, проте не єдина.
З тих пір, як я у Вікімедіа з 2005 року, я приймав участь в багатьох сферах руху; включно із: я був стюартом, сисопом в кількох вікі, 5 років (засновник) членом Wikimedia Netherlands і (все ще) членом Chapters Committee. Я організовував конференції Вікімедіа, chapter meetings, and am a lead organizer in the international Wiki Loves Monuments project. У повсякденному житті я вивчаю хімію та бізнес, котрий базується на науці (MSc) в Університеті Лейдена. I care especially about:
I recognize I have not all solutions for the world's (or even Wikimedia's) problems - but I try to be open for them. On many issues I have opinions, but I'm willing to change given good arguments. I would be happy to become an accessible, critical but constructive board member at the Wikimedia Foundation. There is much more I'd like to share in this limited space. However, please ask any questions you may have. |

Програма кандидата | I would like to take the values of the movement one step further.
I am a Prof. Dr. Eng. at Barcelona Polytechnic University, former director of the Fundació Centre CIM and the President of Amical Viquipèdia. I helped translate the book Wikipédia into Catalan. I organized a program promoting the use of Wikipedia in 17 Spanish universities. I am one of the developers of the translation support bot used on the Catalan Wikipedia. |

Програма кандидата | Вікімедіа має стати моделлю відкритої організації, керованої спільнотою.
Я зростав в США, проте жив також в Німеччині та Кенії. I studied physics at Harvard, and work at One Laptop per Child, fostering education and offline access to knowledge in the developing world. Since 2004, I have been a Wikimedia editor, translator, organizer and speaker. I started the Meta translators network, and published a Wikimedia newsletter in 5 languages. I served as a steward for 5 years. I have worked on outreach to universities and libraries, and in 2009 organized the Kiswahili Wikipedia Challenge. I led Wikimania 2006, and run the Boston wiki-meetup (since 2005). I was elected to the Board in 2009, and am its secretary. As Trustee I focus on transparency, long-term planning and community empowerment, including the strategic plan and movement roles projects. My current goals for the Foundation are to:

Програма кандидата | So far most attention has gone to the big Wikipedias with the argument that we gain the most by building on our strengths. As a result the development of other projects and projects with problems with their script have been stunted. I have actively sought solutions to alleviate this discrimination and I am involved in translatewiki.net and the development of extensions like LocalisationUpdate, Narayam and WebFonts.
I am a prolific blogger and have written about Wikis and what not for several years. When I am elected to the board, I will advocate a Wikimedia Foundation that has the widest possible impact on our eco-system and on our goal of bringing information to all people of this world. I will seek this more in changes of the details then in a „revolution“. We are doing great work but we can do better for all our languages and projects when we show a bit more flexibility and agility. I have been involved in GLAMs from the start and, I will seek improved outreach to our GLAM partners by at least providing timely data on their impact. Social issues prevent further development of our community, this will be one of my priorities. I will continue to blog in order to improve the discussion and communication of our movement. |

Програма кандидата | Within the WM family I am an editor and sysop on the English WP, am lightly involved in Wikibooks/Commons and was previously active on Wikinews. I am British, an Electronic Engineering graduate and work in information security (forensic analysis & software development).
I have a deep interest in freedom of speech and knowledge. I believe that free and open content of all kinds is essential to our future culture, after all “Knowledge is power”. The WMF provide a crucial cornerstone in the task to bring that power to everyone. If elected I will help secure the ideals of neutrality, freedom and collaboration that the board is tasked to defend. I am very approachable and can bring a unique mixture of free thinker, developer, writer and free content evangelist to the board to help support the project in an exciting new decade. As a highly active editor I’d hope act as a conduit between the broad work/perspective of the board and the views/ideas of the community. I’d work to make the board more accessible to the community, support the high level of independence of the Wiki’s and help foster greater camaraderie and stronger ties amongst all our volunteers. |

Програма кандидата | The Wikimedia projects are, in my opinion, one of humanity's noblest and most important endeavours. "Free knowledge" is the vision that brought us all together to collect millions of bits of wisdom, art, and culture for all to share and spread.
Yet, without the support and guidance of a strong vision our projects flounder. The smaller projects become vulnerable to small self-selecting groups that care little for our founding principles, and even the biggest and healthiest of our project calcify into ineffective bureaucracies unable to deal with the responsibilities of being the greatest source of knowledge of Internet. There is a fine but critical line between avoiding interference in the projects and abandoning them without support or guidance, and my objective is to guide the foundation back to our roots. Neutrality, a welcoming collaborative environment, and true openness are not options, nor are our responsibilities to the readers – and subjects – of our projects. The Foundation must support those principles by action, not by looking away. Outreach is good, but let's first make sure our house is in order before inviting more guests. |

Програма кандидата | Коли я був дитиною, то мріяв стати автором „Галактичної Енциклопедії“, репозиторія глобального знання, описаного Ісааком Асимовим у сазі „Основа“. Я мав можливість втілити дещо подібне і, що найважливіше, зробити свій внесок. Вдячність за втілення моїх мрій — найкраща мотивація надалі допомагати спільноті Фонду Вікімедія.
In my daily life I’m a digital communications professional, specifically focused on strategic planning, digital evolution and social media development. I’m an expert marketer and public speaker, with practice as a trainer in the corporate and academic sectors. If elected, I will put my skills on disposition to:

Програма кандидата | Я народився та виріс у Швейцарії. Навчався у Цюрихському Швейцарському Федеральному Інституті Технології, котрий так і не закінчив. Працював у Всесвітньому Економічному Форумі та його щорічному з’їзді у Давосі, також працював вчителем у середній школі. Зараз я працюю в індустрії програмного забезпечення, а також продовжую вивчати ділову інформатику.
In case of being elected my goals are:
Education can take place anywhere and everywhere. It is our most valuable asset, it must be an open world, accessible by everyone - humankind advances only through collaboration. |

Програма кандидата | Зараз я є членом ради, на цій посаді я з 2006 року. Маю ступінь доктора права, а також пройшла іспит Virginia Bar; Я дослідниця у галузях авторського права, патенту та інтернет-політики,( a patent agent?),виконавиця класичної музики та вже була аналітиком технологічної політики для American Library Association.
I'm fortunate to have been able to be part of Wikimedia as it has grown; because of my experience on the projects and OTRS learning the legal challenges of free knowledge projects, I pursued law as a profession to help further the goals of Wikimedia and like-spirited groups. As the longest-serving elected board member, I've learned to put WMF's challenges into context, bringing experience and institutional knowledge along with the perspective of a longtime community volunteer. I see my main role as ensuring WMF upholds its core principles and values while meeting ever greater goals, and so this is my platform rather than a specific agenda. I want us to continue initiatives that make the projects part of everyone's life, and keep building relationships with institutions and communities that expand our ability to fulfill our mission. The role of the board is to take the long-term, big picture view, ensuring that WMF projects remain free, neutral, independent, and actively-developed far into the future. I believe this style of thinking is one of my particular strengths and hope to bring it to the next Wikimedia board. |
