We need to have elections for the board of directors within some time period after the bylaws are signed, which isn't quite yet. (I have signatures from the other two, but I've delayed signing myself just to prevent this clock from starting to tick too soon!)
There are two seats up for election, and I need to refresh my memory by re-reading the bylaws to get everything setup for the elections. I believe we need a couple of volunteers who are not running for election to serve as election administrators or something like that.
Please volunteer! And I'll post more tomorrow about what we need to do.
I have created the following page so that information about the elections gets on the wiki, and not just the mailing list.

I apologize for the fact that this is English-centric right now. Feel free to translate the portion relating to the Wikimedia board and post it on as many other languages as possible.
