Hi folks - happy to share this news that WMF and

SAN FRANCISCO -- January 16, 2013 -- The Wikimedia Foundation is happy
to announce that Sue Gardner has been named to the Board of Directors
at Global Voices. Global Voices is a community of more than 1300
authors and translators in dozens of countries around the world that
publishes reports from global citizen journalists, with an emphasis on
voices that aren't ordinarily heard in major international media.
“Global Voices does great work, and I’m really looking forward to
sharing experiences and expertise with the people involved there.”
said Sue Gardner, Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation. “The
Wikimedia Foundation and Global Voices hold a lot of the same values,
and for me the most important is our shared commitment to freedom of
expression. The world needs strong voices advocating for internet
users’ right to express themselves and to access information without
impediment.”
Congrats, Sue! :-) Global Voices is lucky to have you.
Given the mention of global citizen journalists in the blog post, I was a
little surprised to not see a mention of Wikinews. Some collaboration
between the Wikinewsies and the Global Voices folks might be good to
explore. (I'll admit that I'm still somewhat trying to wrap my head
around
what Global Voices exactly is, but a
collaboration between the two seemed
like it might have promise. If I'm off-base, ignore me.)
