Hi folks, I have been monitoring Steve's Etherpad and I have not seen much activity on it. I would like to suggest that we nominate our reps to Chapters Conference through the list and if more than two people will be willing, I will be more that happy to administer the doodle vote ( I am not interested) We really have a tight timeline to stick to so if you would like to Nominate someone or yourself,please do so on the list (with a good enough reason and proof of dedication to WMKE IMO :-) ) . We have less than three days for that so lets do this ASAP. And then we can schedule the Board election meetup to the 11th as suggested in order to make better preparations for the same. Yours, -- Limoke Oscar, _______________________________________________ WikimediaKE mailing list WikimediaKE(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediake

Guys, I'm confused: The doodle vote doesn't mention candidates for the ChapConf but dates

2, 3 or 4). However, it sounded like we do the ChapConf representative

via doodle, and then meet for Board elections and other business at iHub

Feb 11 (with agenda as of Steve's etherpad). Right? So where's the doodle vote on the participants? Best, Oliver (aka BT) _______________________________________________ WikimediaKE mailing list WikimediaKE(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediake

So am creating the final Doodle poll but I would like to point out that NOT all the people who have shown interest meet the above threshold. We had quite a number of physical meetups last year and am sorry to say I did not see some of you guys in ALL if not MOST of them. Since that is part of the Chapters agreed Criteria. I may LOCK out some participants who DO NOT meet the above threshold.

Finally, We had some discussion as to who is eligible to vote too. So NOT everyone subscribed to this mailing list is eligible. Only persons who show commitment through contribution to discussions and attending meetups will be eligible to vote....Same criteria as last year

Abbas, Plus that would show some conversancy with the wiki too other than having it documented. So all the nominees, please post all your short Bios our wiki. I am working on the criteria and staff. So anyone please feel free to chip in and help out.

I vouch for the meetup tomorrow. I don't think Skype or other virtual meetups bring out the personal commitment of the members to WMKE. Many of us sacrifice our time, money and jobs to make it to such meetups and we also agree that physical meetups really bring out on-spot solutions. Even on the Wikimedia Community physical meetups are preferred that is why in the first place we have the Chapters Conference the Finance meetup all happening this and next month despite the huge cost implications. So Meetup way to go...especially for the nominees. If you cannot sacrifice attending WMKEs meetup, would you sacrifice a week for the Chapters Conference? and your personal costs too?
