As decided last august, we set up an advisory group according to resolution http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Advisory_board
You'll find the entire list here: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Advisory_Board
Welcome to
Angela Beesley (eh !) Ward Cunningham Heather Ford Melissa Hagemann Danny Hillis Mitch Kapor Joris Komen Rebecca MacKinnon Wayne Mackintosh Benjamin Mako Hill Erin McKean Trevor Nielson Achal Prabhala Jay Rosen Clay Shirky Peter Suber Raoul Weiler Ethan Zuckerman
who have agreed to give a bit of their time and expertise, to help us navigate in the difficult waters of collaborative software, free licensing, free speech, education for all, governance, sustainability models... We really appreciate.
How did we chose these people ? Either because they were already frequently in touch with us, or because we thought their experience could help. "We" is both the board and the community, as the board also contacted some of the people whose names showed up when I asked help on this list. Is that list closed ? Of course not. Please feel free to discuss further additions that could be necessary in the future.
