Hola, I did not see a notification on this list, so FYI after the chapter/UG-led first round of selections the second round is open to everyone: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:SecurePoll/vote/Wikimedia_Foundatio… <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:SecurePoll/vote/Wikimedia_Foundatio…> Voting takes place until 6 September. I know Florence had a round of interviews with most (all?) six candidates, might want to take a look. I’ve seen it on Twitter (@WikiAfrica) but couldn’t figure out a place where they all are - please share a link!

With respect to Jorge's questions: 1) All devices are 128 Gb now 2) They ship with MDWiki and en Wikipedia at least. 3) Everyone who has received a device has also agreed to fill in a questionnaire at some point. Havn't gotten around to that bit yet. 4) I also collect what people want it for when they reach out. Answers vary from home schooling, to living on a boat, to time capsule, to hurricaine backup, to medical clinics in the developing world, to local libraries. 5) Most are going to the US but also some to Europe, Canada, and Australia. The rare device to the DRC, East Timor, and India.

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. -- James Heilman MD, CCFP-EM, Wikipedian
