Ha! My email archives are organized way better than I remember it. I must
have been bored during the pandemic :-)
I have posted at this link --
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_of_Colorado_User_Group/Annual_R…
.
Please take a look and make changes as necessary. I am targeting publishing
this by eod (MDT) Friday, 7/16/2020.
**Manav**,
Can you take a look at the draft and let us know if anything else is
required to keep the group current?
Thanks everyone!

Keep it simple.
As simple as possible.
But no simpler. --- A. Einstein
Hey folks,
I will pick this up and work with Craig to keep our group current.
Craig,
I think I have an old copy of the repot buried in my archives. Let me dig
it out tonight.
Thank you.

Hi everybody!
This is just to let you all know that the Wikimedians of Colorado User Group [1] is late in providing an annual report to the Foundation [2]. You can see examples of previous reports on our Meta page [3]. I don’t think they would mind if we say that we didn’t get much done what with the pandemic and all, but an annual report is still required for the User Group to remain compliant. If nobody’s interested in filing this report, it might be time to wrap the User Group up for now. I think we still get to keep this mailing list, and I’d be happy to help manage it for the foreseeable future.
We should also to get the Foundation to update their contact details and send their notifications to one of you good folks, since I haven’t lived in Colorado for many, many years now :).
Cheers,
Gaurav

Hi all,
Would you like to get more people taking part in the Wikimedia Foundation’s
Board of Trustees election?
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees announced the plan for the 2021
Board elections
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard/2021…>.
That plan includes outreach and communication support for the Board
elections. The Board election facilitators will:
- Inform communities of the trustee selection process
- Invite communities to engage in voting
- Encourage people representing emerging Wikimedia communities to run as
candidates
Voter turnout in prior elections was about 10% globally. It was better in
communities with volunteer election support. Some of those communities
reached over 20% voter turnout. We know we can get more voters to help
assess and promote the best candidates, but to do that, we need your help.
We are looking for volunteers to serve as Election Volunteers. Election
Volunteers should have a good understanding of their communities. The
facilitation team sees Election Volunteers as doing the following:
- Promote the election in their communities’ channels
- Organize discussions about the election in their communities
- Translate messages for their communities
*Who are the Election Volunteers to connect your community with this
movement effort? Is it you? Or someone you know?* *Check out more details
about Election Volunteers*
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Electio…>
and
add your name next to the community you will support in this table
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Electio…>
or get in contact with a facilitator
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021#Team>.
We aim to have at least one Election Volunteer for Wiki Projects in the top
30 for eligible voters. Even better if there are two or more sharing the
work.
Best,
--
