We have seen a significant increase in interest in these devices this
month, having shipped 24 devices so far.
As such we are increasing what we charge to distribute them to 50 USD each
so we are not losing money on each device. Also hopefully this will make it
easier for others to get into distribution.

Hello friends
Now is the time to vote in the 2022 Board of Trustees election.
CONTEXT AND EXPLAINATION
As a reminder... there are 2 open positions :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022
12 candidates :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Candida…
Each candidate proposed a candidate presentation and statement (see link
above)
And had the opportunity to answer to 15 questions
You may find their answers here :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Affilia…
(*)
Please note that the answers are short, so it will not be a super
consuming task to get to know candidates positions better on some matters.
1st Round
Each affiliate will cast a vote, which will serve to shorten the 12
candidates list to a 6 candidates list.
2nd Round
Community members will have the opportunity to vote on the short list of
6 candidates
We are currently at 1st Round.
I was given access to the voting interface.
Voting info :
* This election is using the Single Transferable Vote methodology
("STV").
* On the voting page is a sequence of dropdown boxes. Starting from
the top of the page, select the candidates in order of preference,
from "Preference 1" (most preferred) to "Preference 12" (least
preferred).
* You do not need to rank every candidate. You may stop ranking
candidates at any point. For example, you can choose to only rank
one candidate, or four candidates, or all of the candidates.
* You are allowed to change your vote during the election. This will
overwrite your previous vote. You can do this as many times as you like.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
1) read the candidates statements :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Candida…
2) read the answers to the "up to 15" questions :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Affilia…
3) send me an email (please add Sj in copy) with your favorite choices.
------> For each candidate, please put a value between -5 to +5.
------> By default, all candidates will be at 0 points. So if you
support a candidate, please add a positive number. If you are opposed to
a candidate, please add a negative number.
I will merge those figures to get a ranking, which I will submit to the
voting interface.
Please do send me the email before JULY 12 !
Best
Flo
(*) I reported the Offline UG question from Zeljko Blace. It has been
"merged" into several questions

Dear fellows - I would like to offline host
minimal set of Wiki pages (Wikipedias, Wikispore, Commons)
and minimal set of media (images, video and audio)
that all branch out from single Reasonator
(or Portal.toolforge.org) search...
...and that keep global links beyond 2 degrees
(so that one can use them to continue online).
For now I think of just downloading pages offline
and hosting them as mobile wiki-to-static pages
using wget with manual corrections.
I would love to do this for monuments and
tiny libraries like this https://w.wiki/5QWn
so maybe have library-like single-file wiki
(like https://tiddlywiki.com system)
so that users could connect to it
and live notices.
Anyone has idea if and how to do this better
and package in the most elegant way?
Anyone interested in collaborating?
Best Z. Blace
