Hi everyone,
The MediaWiki Stakeholders' Group (MWStake) [1][2] is a MediaWiki user group consisting of MediaWiki developers, system administrators, consultants, and hosting providers who cooperate in order to improve the software and advocate the needs of MediaWiki users outside the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) and its projects.
We have recently incorporated as a 501(c)(6), non-profit organization and are looking to fill an open Board Member position. In this position, you will take part in bootstrapping the formal organisation and have a voice in the overall strategy of the group. We expect a workload of one hour per week, including online meetings every three months.
If you are interested, please send an email to admin@mwstake.org. If you would like to learn more, feel free to join our next meeting (February 7th) [3] or chat on Riot [4].
Thank you, Mark A. Hershberger President, MWStake

Hi Mark,
I am interested in getting to know more about this position. Could you give me some background information on the MWStake goals? And what are the current ideas on strategy and organisation?

The MWStake mission is probably the best source for our goals[1].
And what are the current ideas on strategy and organisation?
Our organisation is fairly new but you can see how we're organised by checking our bylaws[2].
As far as strategy, the new board member would be involved in bootstrapping MWStake's strategy. Currently, though, we have
* organized a place for third party users to exchange problems and solutions[3], * coordinated development efforts for standard extensions/tasks on a higher level[4], and * generally worked to increase the relationships between various 3rd parties through communication and common projects.
Thanks for your interest!
Mark.
