Dear Wikimedia friends,

On Saturday, November 30, 2013, Wikimedia Deutschland held its 13th general assembly in Berlin. Our main topics were the presentation and discussion of our annual plan[1], the future of our community project budget (CPB) as well as the election of the board. The assembly agreed upon the annual plan, an innovation of the CPB and elected the following members to its board[2]:

- Nikolas Becker (President) - Anja Ebersbach (Vice President) - Tim Moritz Hector (Vice President) - Steffen Prößdorf (Treasurer) - Jürgen Friedrich - Markus Glaser - Sebastian Wallroth - Ralf Bösch - Robin Tech - Jens Best

Olaf Kosinsky, Daniel Baur, Holger Motzkau and Thomas Goldammer were re-elected as auditors. All of them were elected for a term of one year.

Nikolas Becker succeeds Ralf Liebau in the office as the board’s president. Ralf as well as our former vice president Delphine Ménard and the two board members Martin Rulsch and Manuela Kanneberg did not run for the board again. All of Wikimedia Deutschland – the board, the association and the staff – thank the outgoing members for their hard work and support.

Like in the previous years, the board of Wikimedia Deutschland is looking forward to working with the Wikimedia Foundation and the Wikimedia Chapters on a fruitful and co-operative basis. Feel free to get in touch any time, either via email to single board members[2] or to the whole board via praesidium@wikimedia.de.

Please join in in welcoming them on board! :)

Best regards, Nicole Ebber
