Hi,
congratulations to the new board and my special thanks to Abbas and all the others who
supported and facilitated the process of establishment of Wikimedia Kenya. You achieved
something and did a great job.
As soon as I am back from the Chapter Meeting I will set up a wmke-board(a)wikimedia.or.ke
and personal e-mail adresses for all board members in the scheme
firstname.lastname(a)wikimedia.or.ke - is this ok for you?
Best regards,
Manuel Schneider

Betreff: [Wikimedia Kenya] [Announcement] Wikimedia Kenya's New Board
Datum: Sa., Mär. 31, 2012 16:22
Hi all,
It is with great pleasure for me to announce the inaugural Wikimedia Kenya board that
comprises of:
Alex Wafula
Ann Njeri
David Mugo
Oscar Limoke
Stephen Wanjau
The Board's got a diverse range of experience -- with folks working in the government
sector, internet industry, financial expertise and leadership skills.
I think that they're a good fit for our egalitarian, international, non-profit
culture. And we've got a woman on the Board, which matters to me because we will have
someone to relate to, when it comes to gender-gap issues :)
Many thanks to those who assisted in the elections process: Chris, Branton, Cliff &
Oliver. And many thanks to all the nominees who took their time to submit their
candidature and also answer our questions.
Let's all welcome our new Board as they orient themselves in their new roles.
Thanks,
Abbas.
PS -- Note to the Board: I've forwarded your names to be added to Internal &
Chapters Mailing Lists. I am also looking into creating your Board Mailing List.
