Update regarding the AGM
by Lourie Pieterse 24 Aug '12

24 Aug '12

Hello everyone I should have sent this yesterday, but forgot about it. Initially we did not have a venue for the AGM which is planned for next weekend, but Isla (thank you! :)) informed me yesterday that we are allowed to use Africa Centre for this purpose. The details have been added to the information page on Meta: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_South_Africa/AGM1#Details. Later today (probably tonight) I will send further information out about the meeting. If there are any questions, please contact me. Kind regards Lourie

Hello Tobias This mail got lost somewhere in my mailbox. :( Thanks for the response. We will most probably sign it at the AGM next week in Cape Town. Any chance that you might be able to attend?

Candidate directors
by Lourie Pieterse 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Hello everyone (again) As most of you probably already know, one of our main objectives for the AGM is to fill the currently vacant seats of the board. For this process, we will need director candidates for which the members can vote. If you are interesting in becoming a director of the chapter, please add your details to this page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_South_Africa/Directors#Candidate_d…. This way the chapter members can learn a bit more about yourselves and have information to base their votes on. Please add this information as soon as possible, as the meeting is next weekend. Thank you. Kind regards Lourie

Thanks Komi. We will create a page on our website (http://wikilovesmonuments.co.za) that explains the treasure hunt and lists each of these sites. Will notify you as soon as it is online and check whether you are happy with it.

Africa Centre MOU
by Lourie Pieterse 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

Hello everyone Africa Centre offered to help us out in various ways until we can stand on our own feet. This includes helping us with communication and marketing tasks, limited administrative support, temporary fiscal agency and so forth. All of this will be only for a limited time and will help us mostly during WLM. Please see the attached MOU and let us know whether there are any problems with this. Due to our board not having the required amount of directors, they cannot really decide for the chapter regarding this. It will also be unfair not to include the rest of the chapter members in such a decision. So please, get involved, even if you just say yes or no to the proposal. Kind regards Lourie

AGM voting system
by Lourie Pieterse 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

Hello everyone During the past week, there were not many responses to the call of attendees for the AGM two weeks from now. From the Meta page (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_South_Africa/AGM1) only the following people showed interest in attending: * Douglas Scott * Dumisani Ndubane * Isla Haddow-Flood * Lourie Pieterse * Maarten Deneckere * Mohau Monaledi Just a reminder that we plan to have the agenda finalized by next week Saturday (25 August), so please try to give some input if you want to. I started to look at methods that can be used for voting by those who cannot attend the meeting. I see that some of the other chapters use a dedicated vote system, which normally works together with the membership database. Currently we do not have such a system in place, so we cannot use this method. I am not sure how such voting is done normally, but I propose that members can email their votes to a dedicated email address (vote(a)wikimedia.org.za) which will then be forwarded to the board list. That way members can cast votes without other members knowing them, but yet casting them to a well maintained database. These lists are well archived, so this means we can easily keep track of what is happening. This is just a suggestion, so please drop me a line and let me know what you think. Another thing before I forget, it is also possible to get someone else to be your proxy at the meeting. If anyone is interested in this option, please let me know so that we can get the paperwork in order. It is required to give written permission to your person of choice to represent you. Kind regards Lourie

Re: [Wikimedia ZA] Mthokozisi Moses Dlalisa membership
by Thuvack 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hi Mthokozisi Thank you very much for this enquiry. We would be delighted to have you on board. We are working on formalising membership structures, thus for now there is a free subscribing policy. I support your membership. We are in need of volunteers for the provincial marathons for the month of September. Would you be willing to assist in arranging the KZN upload marathon? We will need a Zulu speaker. Regards Dumisani Ndubane Sent from my iPad On 14 Aug 2012, at 11:11 AM, wikimediaza-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org wrote: > Mthokozisi Moses Dlalisa

Travel arrangements
by Lourie Pieterse 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hello Dumi and Mohau Sorry that I am sending you this only now. As you might have seen, Blessing asked me yesterday what she should do regarding her flights for the launch. If you can buy the tickets yourself we will reimburse you afterwards, otherwise send me a quote of the flights, and I will transfer the amount to your account. I do not really know what to do regarding the accommodation and car rental, so I think it might be best if you could get quotes for that as well and then I can just transfer you the money? Or what do you think are the best option? If possible, it will be good if you two can only rent one car, as we only budgeted for two. Just let me know what suites you best. Kind regards Lourie

Re: [Wikimedia ZA] Annual general meeting request
by Lourie Pieterse 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hello Blessing Currently it seems like the meeting will be at 09:00 with the WLM launch at 16:00. I think that everything will be finished by around 17:00 or 18:00, maybe the rest of the team can give some input? That will give you a good time frame to fly in the morning and then leave the same evening. How does that sound? It will be best if you can arrange it yourself, because my time is limited. We will then reimburse you afterwards. Please do keep all receipts, as we must submit them to the Wikimedia Foundation. Thanks.

Would it be ok if I came in on the morning and if the meeting is not finishing late, then I can come back to Gauteng the same evening. If not I could do a night in CT.

We can now also start to brainstorm about exactly what we want to discuss at this meeting. Later today I will add a temporary agenda which we can then edit into the correct format. Please keep in mind, so far Dumisani and Mohau is the only members from Gauteng interested in attending. The WLM budget allows all the project organizers and WMZA board members to attend the event. Due to all the arrangements we still need to make, it will be best to set a deadline for this Saturday (18 August) to know exactly who is going to attend this meeting. That will be a week after the initial call, so please do respond before then so that we know what is going for what and can finalize arrangements. Thank you. > >We should also set a deadline for the finalized agenda, because then the members that are not able to attend the meeting are able to cast votes using an electronic system. I propose that we set the agenda deadline for next Saturday (25 August), which will give those members another week to cast votes until the meeting itself.
