The locally influential Israeli economic newspaper TheMaker (a kind of
supplement to the better known Haaretz newspaper) is about to publish
a big story on wikipedia, wikimedia, the local chapter and also the
board elections in an upcoming article (mentioning my candidacy too).
Though I'm not too sure how very newsworthy the board elections are
for the "average Joe" on the street.

and wants to put Wikimedia into it, he or she can tell about the
Wikimedia board elections. It is quite interesting to a local
newspaper or radio station to report that XY from our community takes
part in an international election, voting for someone (from another
country) who might become a Board of Trustees member of the
organisation of the famous Wikipedia.
Alas, one should be quick as the elections end already tomorrow...
