In accordance with the recent board decision to increase the number of ombudsmen from 3 to 5, we have appointed the following users as successor ombudsmen.
[[User:Schiste]] from frwiki [[User:PatrĂciaR]] from commonswiki [[User:Tinz]] from dewiki [[User:Sam Korn]] from enwiki [[User:Shizhao]] from zhwiki
Please join me in thanking Rebecca, Mackensen, and Hei ber for their willingness to take on this commitment over the course of the last year.

Thanks to the three former ombudsmen, and congratulations of the appointments of these five people. Excellent choices, and I'm pleased to see more of a variety of projects involved, instead of mostly from enwiki.
