Hi,
After two weeks of open elections, I'm glad to announce you the brand *new board of Amical Wikimedia*, with 8 members, of which 5 are new.
- Laia Benito Pericas - Chair
- Lluís Madurell Alemany - Secretary
- Xavier Dengra Grau - Treasurer
- Josep Nogué - Member (former treasurer)
- Carles Paredes - Member (former secretary)
- David Parreño Mont - Member
- Esther Bonet Solé - Member
- Pau Colominas - Member
Congratulations! The former board was a dream team and after renewing 5 of 8 seats (and changing the roles of the previous board members...) the new board is... another dream team!
Other interesting points:
* Most of these members are very active editors (VERY). * Some of them joined not that long ago (I mean, a few years). * Some of them... learned to write not that long ago ;) (I mean, I'd be curious to know the median age of this board) and they can be considered "native Wikipedians". * All of them have been regularly involved in editathons, workshops, GLAM, Wiki Loves contests, social media and comms... as much as featured articles, fighting vandalism, cleaning tasks, connecting with Wikidata, administering Wikisource, Wikibooks...
Arnau Duran, our former president, was not running for a new term, and both
the board and the community are grateful for his service these years.
Arnau would deserve a paid retirement, but Wikimedia is not there yet. ;)
PS: as a not very active member of Amical I am probably biased, but a) I didn't participate in the election and b) many people ask me about the factors of success of Amical, and imho there you have the tip of the iceberg.
