Hi everyone,
We have two volunteers to represent the New England Wikimedians at the 2016 Wikimedia Conference: Gabe and Abhishek. We can only send one representative, so please take a moment to read their information and then weigh in at the Google survey below with your recommendation as to who should represent us in Berlin.
Note: To vote, we request that you have demonstrated some activity with our group within the past four (4) years, either in person or online, and that the New England Wikimedians is your primary local Wikimedia affiliation. For your vote to be counted, you must respond to the survey with both your real name and your Wikimedia username. Names will not be used for anything beyond tallying for this survey.
*Candidates:*
Gabriel Fishman User:GabrielF https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:GabrielF
I began volunteering on Wikimedia projects in 2004, and, since that time, I've contributed by writing articles, providing academic sources for other editors, assisting with college classes, and working on software development. I'd like to travel to the Wikimedia conference to learn more about how we can grow the Wikimedia New England group and to learn more about Wikimedia Germany's software development efforts, particularly Wikidata.
Abhishek Suryawanshi User:AbhiSuryawanshi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AbhiSuryawanshi
I will be in the Cambridge area for next two years. This Wikimedia Conference will help me to understand other chapter/user-group efforts and programs. I can learn from them and it will enable me to execute our programs at a better level.
