Hi
The following people have expressed interest in contributing towards building and leading Wikimedia ZA by being a director.
Aslam Raffee David Richfield Lourie Pieterse Mohau Monaledi Myself
This isn't cast in stone yet, so if there's someone else you'd like to see as a director, please feel free to forward their name, or encourage them to so so, and if you'd like to stand, feel welcome :)
Most important now is that we finish off the provisional founding documents. Kerryn has been co-ordinating this, and this week she's been getting some assistance from David, Lourie and Derryn in particular. This may seem tedious, but it's important we have the right foundation to build on, so thanks to everyone who's helped so far.
I know many of you are waiting to help out with the more 'exciting' projects once all the admin is out the way, in particular those who listed themselves on the "Activity Planning" list at the workshop.
There's no reason to wait - if there's an activity you're excited about getting involved in (and a lot were brainstormed at the workshop), let me know, and we can focus on a few.
Charlene Foster has added her name to those considering being directors.
More info about everyone is starting to appear on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_South_Africa/Directors (please add new names there too) and I see we've already had a request for details about "educational information and past directorial experience".
I've based the template on the Wikimedia Board template for candidates, but if anyone would like to know more, please feel free to request it.
