Declaração |
Sou Capsot, o editor extremamente elogiado nos altos escalões. Entendo que o centro dos projetos está em seus editores que merecem muito mais do que têm atualmente. Se eleito, darei o meu melhor para:
Como você pode deduzir a partir do meu bloqueio geral há um tempo atrás, e ainda vigente no Meta, algumas pessoas de destaque nos altos escalões têm medo de mim; então aproveite a oportunidade para assustá-los também, votando em um dos poucos candidatos realmente comprometidos com a mudança, a verdade e a transparência.

Declaração | In my day job I'm a computer security engineer and also translate books.
Iniciei-me na WP em hebraico em 2004. Sou administrador há seis anos e burocrata nos últimos quatro anos. Eu sou um dos fundadores e secretário do capítulo da WM de Israel. Eu dou muitas palestras em diversos fóruns. Estou atualmente envolvido com a iniciação do GLAM em Israel. Estou muito envolvido com o Wikimania 2011, onde trato de registos e bolsas, participo como o chair do programa e trato de OTRS. I presented in Wikimania ‘07 and ‘10, and attended ChapConf11 too. I believe in a grassroots movement that is large, decentralized and varied, with ample room for the community, the WMF, the chapters and other stakeholders to have their own unique positions, working together to accomplish our mission. If elected to the board, I intend to support activities to:

Meu trabalho nos projetos são em sua maioria básicos: editar, traduzir, trabalhos administrativos, tentar resolver disputas e tentar ajudar novatos sempre que posso. Eu fui eleito membro do Conselho Diretivo em 2008 e reeleito em 2009. Atualmente, eu sou o presidente do conselho.
Caso eu seja reeleito, meus objetivos são:

Declaração | I am a professional writer and readability consultant.
I was a writer in public relations and technical writing for 21 years. I am on the Readability SIG of the International Reading Association and a member of the Society of Technical Communications since 1985. I have been very active in the Plain Language Association International since 1995. Since 2001, I have been a consultant in plain language and readability. My clients include the National Aviation Administration, California Public Utilities Commission, Los Angeles County Department of Consumer Affairs, and the Los Angeles Department of Public Social Services. I have written extensively on readability and my publications include Smart Language: Readers, Readability, and the Grading of Texts, Unlocking Language: The Classic Readability Studies, The Principles of Readability, and the Plain Language at Work Newsletter, all offered free on my Website with many other instructive materials. I enjoy contributing to Wikipedia very much. I was a major contributor to the English pages on The history of Los Angeles, Readability, George R. Klare, and William S. Gray. My interest in joining the board is to make the language of Wikipedia more accessible to the general reader. There is a vast body of research on readability that could make a major impact on increasing readership. I also am interested in working with the Simple Wikipedia editors and creating a Plain Language Project. I am also interested in the discussions on general editing policies. |

Declaração | Como wikimediano de longa data, eu já fiz um pouco de tudo. Tornei-me administrador na enwiki em 2003 e fundei o seu conselho de arbitragem; eu sou nesse momento verificador/supervisor na enwiki, e administrador do Commons. Eu ajudo cada Wikimania, participei do grupo de contatos do IRC, e também escrevi uma parte do código Mediawiki. Eu fui o Diretor de pesquisa da Fundação, Secretário fundador da Wikimedia UK, e alguns outros cargos, mas agora fora do corpo da Wikimedia (apenas membro da Wikimedia NL), obtive outra perspectiva. Eu trabalho para tornar o Governo britânico acessível, liderando o data.gov.uk em estratégia, questões técnicas, governo e finanças, portanto as tarefas do Conselho são familiares para mim.
Eu compartilho preocupações com a comunidade sobre alguns ítens críticos para o Conselho:
Precisamos de melhor entendimento entre os projetos - é difícil descobrir o que está acontecendo para aprender ou oferecer ajuda. Como alguém que apenas fala inglês, eu confio em traduções, que são vitais. Eu compartilharia atualizações de projetos regularmente, como é feito com os Capítulos, e reiniciaria Embaixada. |

Declaração | Eu me preocupo muito com os relacionamentos dentro do movimento Wikimedia: Entre os editores, as organizações e os nossos leitores. A Fundação é uma organização importante e central nesse movimento, mas não é a única.
Desde que me envolvi na Wikimedia, em 2005, tenho sido activo em vários campos do movimento, tendo sido Steward, administrador em várias wikis, membro fundador da Wikimedia Netherlands, parte da direcção deste chapter por 5 anos e (ainda) membro do Chapters Committee. Na vida diária, faço um mestrado em Química & Science Based Business na Universidade de Leiden. Eu me preocupo especialmente com:
Eu reconheço que não tenho todas as soluções para os problemas do mundo (ou mesmo para os da Wikimedia) - mas eu tento ser aberto para eles. Em muitos problemas tenho opiniões, mas estou disposto a mudar se forem apresentados bons argumentos. Eu ficaria feliz em me tornar um membro acessível, crítico mas construtivo do conselho da Wikimedia Foundation. Há muito mais que eu gostaria de compartilhar, mas este espaço é limitado. No entanto, por favor, pergunte qualquer dúvida que possa ter. |

Declaração | Quero levar os valores do movimento a um passo à diante.
Sou Prof. Dr. Enginheiro Industrial na Universidade Politécnica da Catalunha. Fui director da Fundació Centre CIM e presidente da Amical Viquipèdia. Contribuí a traduzir ao catalão o livro “Wikipedia descobrir, utilitzar, contribuir”. Organizei um programa para 17 universidades espanholas para aplicar a Wikipedia. Sou um dos iniciadores do desenvolvimento do conjunto de suporte para traduzir a Wikipedia em Catalão. |

Declaração | Wikimedia should be a model for open, community-led organizations.
I grew up in the USA, and have lived in Germany and Kenya. I studied physics at Harvard, and work at One Laptop per Child, fostering education and offline access to knowledge in the developing world. Since 2004, I have been a Wikimedia editor, translator, organizer and speaker. I started the Meta translators network, and published a Wikimedia newsletter in 5 languages. I served as a steward for 5 years. I have worked on outreach to universities and libraries, and in 2009 organized the Kiswahili Wikipedia Challenge. I led Wikimania 2006, and run the Boston wiki-meetup (since 2005). I was elected to the Board in 2009, and am its secretary. As Trustee I focus on transparency, long-term planning and community empowerment, including the strategic plan and movement roles projects. My current goals for the Foundation are to:

Declaração | So far most attention has gone to the big Wikipedias with the argument that we gain the most by building on our strengths. As a result the development of other projects and projects with problems with their script have been stunted. I have actively sought solutions to alleviate this discrimination and I am involved in translatewiki.net and the development of extensions like LocalisationUpdate, Narayam and WebFonts.
I am a prolific blogger and have written about Wikis and what not for several years. When I am elected to the board, I will advocate a Wikimedia Foundation that has the widest possible impact on our eco-system and on our goal of bringing information to all people of this world. I will seek this more in changes of the details then in a "revolution". We are doing great work but we can do better for all our languages and projects when we show a bit more flexibility and agility. I have been involved in GLAMs from the start and, I will seek improved outreach to our GLAM partners by at least providing timely data on their impact. Social issues prevent further development of our community, this will be one of my priorities. I will continue to blog in order to improve the discussion and communication of our movement. |

Declaração | Within the WM family I am an editor and sysop on the English WP, am lightly involved in Wikibooks/Commons and was previously active on Wikinews. I am British, an Electronic Engineering graduate and work in information security (forensic analysis & software development).
I have a deep interest in freedom of speech and knowledge. I believe that free and open content of all kinds is essential to our future culture, after all “Knowledge is power”. The WMF provide a crucial cornerstone in the task to bring that power to everyone. If elected I will help secure the ideals of neutrality, freedom and collaboration that the board is tasked to defend. I am very approachable and can bring a unique mixture of free thinker, developer, writer and free content evangelist to the board to help support the project in an exciting new decade. As a highly active editor I’d hope act as a conduit between the broad work/perspective of the board and the views/ideas of the community. I’d work to make the board more accessible to the community, support the high level of independence of the Wiki’s and help foster greater camaraderie and stronger ties amongst all our volunteers. |

Declaração | The Wikimedia projects are, in my opinion, one of humanity's noblest and most important endeavours. Free knowledge is the vision that brought us all together to collect millions of bits of wisdom, art, and culture for all to share and spread.
Yet, without the support and guidance of a strong vision our projects flounder. The smaller projects become vulnerable to small self-selecting groups that care little for our founding principles, and even the biggest and healthiest of our project calcify into ineffective bureaucracies unable to deal with the responsibilities of being the greatest source of knowledge of Internet. There is a fine but critical line between avoiding interference in the projects and abandoning them without support or guidance, and my objective is to guide the foundation back to our roots. Neutrality, a welcoming collaborative environment, and true openness are not options, nor are our responsibilities to the readers – and subjects – of our projects. The Foundation must support those principles by action, not by looking away. Outreach is good, but let's first make sure our house is in order before inviting more guests. |

Declaração | Quando criança, eu sonhei ser um autor de Encyclopedia Galactica,o repositório da universal conhecimento descrito por Isaac Asimov em HisFoundationseries. Eu tive a oportunidade de ver algo semelhante em minha vida e, além disso, contribuir. Dizer "obrigado" para fazer meus sonhos é a minha motivação mais profunda para serem voluntários para servir a comunidade WMF.
Em minha vida diária eu sou um profissional da comunicação digital, especificamente focada em planejamento estratégico, evolução da mídia digital e desenvolvimento social. Eu sou um especialista em marketing e um altofalante público, com a prática como treinador nos sectores empresarial e acadêmica. Se eleito, vou colocar meus conhecimentos em disposição para:

Declaração | I'm one of the current board members, a role I've held since 2006. I have a JD and passed the Virginia Bar; I'm currently a researcher in copyright, patent, and internet policy, a patent agent, and a classical musician, and was recently a technology policy analyst for the American Library Association.
I'm fortunate to have been able to be part of Wikimedia as it has grown; because of my experience on the projects and OTRS learning the legal challenges of free knowledge projects, I pursued law as a profession to help further the goals of Wikimedia and like-spirited groups. As the longest-serving elected board member, I've learned to put WMF's challenges into context, bringing experience and institutional knowledge along with the perspective of a longtime community volunteer. I see my main role as ensuring WMF upholds its core principles and values while meeting ever greater goals, and so this is my platform rather than a specific agenda. I want us to continue initiatives that make the projects part of everyone's life, and keep building relationships with institutions and communities that expand our ability to fulfill our mission. The role of the board is to take the long-term, big picture view, ensuring that WMF projects remain free, neutral, independent, and actively-developed far into the future. I believe this style of thinking is one of my particular strengths and hope to bring it to the next Wikimedia board. |
