[treasurers] Welcome, and introductions

[Josep Nogué Felip]

My name is Josep Nogue. I am founding member and treasurer of Amical
Viquipèdia.[1] I am economist now retired. My professional experience was
in team management and organizing programs related to internal training in
one of the main savings banks in Spain. I also volunteer in other non
profit activities like collaborating with the ombudsman of the municipality
of Cornellà and coaching of new entrepreneurs.

I am interested in participating in this list because we are working in
developing systems to provide transparency but avoiding bureaucracy and
this is a difficult balance so I am very interested in learning from
others. I am also interested in this process because Amical is an
organization culturally focused instead of territory related so our
activities overlap geographically with those of some local chapters. We
think we must follow best practices to ensure their confidence and we are
also interested they follow those practices so all together can contribute
to will earn a high reputation for the Wikimedia movement in the social
groups we address.

I would like to end my welcome letter expressing my congratulations to
Mulwardi Tjitra from WMID. I think you are doing a great job in
transparency in your financial reports. We are learning a lot from you. It
is a pity that this system is up to your high skills with excel and in
translating it to html.

Cheers
