Wow, this is a gross misrepresentation of the reality.
While Foundation staff has provided an invaluable support to make the fundraiser a success, it probably wouldn't have been such a success hadn't there been dozens of volunteers, among which _many_ chapter board members and simple members who spent uncounted hours of localizing and adapting messages, providing stories, refining landing pages, answering donors questions etc.
You may want to look at the fundraising pages on meta to see the level of involvement of the community as a whole in making it a success, and even that does not give a real idea of how much chapters' communities have participated (much happens on their chapters' mailing lists for example).
Delphine, do you mean the above applies to ALL chapters? I would doubt it. Without giving names, I am not involved with any chapters at all, but what I hear of some of them is indeed a lot of useful activity including fundraising, project proposals etc, whereas I only hear of others when they get involved into some quarrels or controversies. May be this is then not so much of a misinterpretation.
