As many astute observers have noticed, the term for several members of the current Chapcom was up at the end of May. Several people affiliated with the Chapcom, mostly our staff of advisers, have left and now we need to fill the spots. I'm going to update the roster at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ChapCom tonight to reflect our current membership situation. We are looking for members and advisers (advisers especially!) who are interested in working with chapters and volunteers from around the world. Enough members are a necessity for speedy communications and decisions when it comes to our existing and applicant chapters.

Diversity is key, we need people who are multilingual, people from different cultural backgrounds, people with different perspectives, etc. For intra-committee communication we really need people who can communicate with some level of english, however.

If you, or somebody you know is interested in joining the chapcom, send an email to chaptercommittee-l@lists.wikimedia.org. Include your name, a little bit about yourself and some of your ideas and opinions about Wikimedia's Chapters. Also, feel free to contact me or other members of the chapcom directly if there are any questions or comments about this. We're looking to expand within the next month, so don't hesitate if you are interested!

Let everybody know. Thanks,
