Oh, aren't you lucky you could go early! And you had such good weather, too.

Carol and Heather, I am thinking we all should have a flower blog! Carol, yes, you are the one I was thinking about.

The last of our tulips here in Virginia has faded, but it's nice to see them going strong up north!

It looks like you had a perfect day for visiting Albany. The tulips are beautiful.

Greta, I think this is about the last of them for some of us. Two days of reaching 85 can shorten their lives. Darn. What is the next flowering plant?
- May 2, 2010 at 7:37 PM
- Heather Rojo said...
I love the idea of the flower blog (trees, landscapes, etc.)! We could take turns. And there would be enough photos to carry us through the winter months.
- May 2, 2010 at 9:25 PM

Heather, I've been wondering where else I could go to take pictures. I don't think weeds would cut it!

Top Chef Seattle has had three weeks of torrid ratings and so the increase of last night's fourth episode to 0.50 in the 18-49 demo will give Bravo Media and Magical Elves a little to cheer about. Just don't expect any press releases yet! Overall, this week saw the total audience climb to 1,115,000 viewers and that has pushed the season-to-date average just above the 1m mark; to 1,003,250 viewers per episode. That's also reduced the prior season deficits to -36.76 for total audience and -43.33% in the 18-49 demo versus Season 9 and -48.44% total and -56.41% in the 18-49 demo versus All Stars Season 8. Additionally as the season has progressed each week has seen a growth in viewership so perhaps all is not yet lost for Top Chef. Read more

Bravo Ratings – LATC, Top Chef Seattle, WWHL & LOLWork 28-Nov-2012
Bravo Ratings – LATC, Top Chef Seattle & LOLWork 21-Nov-2012
With the worst start for ratings for any of the 10 seasons of Top Chef or for that matter for the four seasons of Top Chef Masters or even when compared with the two seasons of the cancelled Top Chef Desserts, the third episode, which aired on Thanksgiving Eve lent itself too easily to jokes about Turkeys. And what a ratings turkey this season is proving to be.
The fourth episode of last year's ninth season; Top Chef Texas, aired the night prior to Thanksgiving in 2011, and drew 1,671,000 viewers with 0.70 in the 18-49 demo. At the time that was a season high for total audience numbers but not for those aged 18-49. Last Wednesday, Tom & Emeril managed to cook up just over 1m viewers for the 1st time this season, as 1,045,000 people tuned in, but their 18-49 demo rating held for the third week at 0.40. This, however means their 10th season average stays below 1 million viewers at 966,000 and a rather paltry (poultry?) 0.40 in the 18-49 demo. Read more
Bravo's Third Week of Sweeps Isn't Much Better Than Their Second – Year-on-Year Down 18% & 18-49 Down 25%
As we wrote last week, Bravo Media held back all of their big guns for the second week of Nielsen's Fall Sweeps and apart from The Real of Housewives of Atlanta's season five premiere getting off to a record start, the rest of that week was best swept away. So, how did the third week go?
Unfortunately, not only wasn't it any better but when compared like-for-like with the programming for the same week in 2011, total audience levels declined by 18%. In the equivalent week in 2011 Bravo TV aired a total of 8 hours of original programming over four nights, versus last week's 12 hours over five nights. The additions being; five versus two episodes of Watch What Happens Live, this year two episodes of The Real Housewives of Miami aired, whereas in 2011 no original programming was aired on Thursday, November 17th and the last difference is LOLwork added on Wednesday's, giving that night 3 hours of first run programming.

Bravo Ratings – LATC, Top Chef Seattle, LOLWork & WWHL 14-Nov-2012
After what can only be described as an absolutely disastrous Wednesday last week, particularly for one being conducted during Nielsen's Fall Sweeps, with LATC scoring 587,000 viewers, Top Chef Seattle 912,000, LOLWork 334,000 and WWHL 271,000, Bravo Media would desperately have been hoping for significantly improved ratings. Andy Cohen tweeted out the night's schedule to his 920,000 followers (he seemed to forget about LATC) and then @BravoTV retweeted him adding Best. Wednesday. Ever. Read more
via Press Release – Thanksgiving Themed Episode of Top Chef Seattle to Air Nov 21
Bravo Media, today announced a special Thanksgiving themed episode of Top Chef Seattle, to be aired on Thanksgiving eve, Wednesday November 21st, 2012 at 10/9c.
Given the very poor ratings for this season's premiere, no doubt Bravo Media will be hoping that they climb for this week's second episode, otherwise they risk the turkey not only being in the chefs' ovens, but in their rating returns as well.
For further information regarding Bravo Media's Big Premiere Week, Including Top Chef Seattle's premiere ratings, which coincided with Nielsen's Fall Sweeps, read our detailed report here. Read more

For many years, the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA) has been gathering official government documents that indicate the US gold reserves are insufficient and cannot cover the paper obligations assigned to them. Through leasing and swap agreements with other nations, the details of which are hidden from the public, the nation's gold could be in jeopardy and at the very least, over-reported. Some people have even openly speculated that the Fort Knox facility contains mostly empty space.
There is now a movement to have the gold reserves audited. As the description in the petition notes, the reserves have not been audited since 1953! Prior to that, there were semi-regular audits. In the last 60 years, there has been too much turmoil to simply assume normality in this matter. A prudent and measured action is necessary.
It's amazingly easy to create a White House account and sign the petition – all you need is a valid email address and zip code. If the petition gets at least 25,000 signatures, the White House must take action to take the issue to the next step for further study. Read and sign the petition today.

White Camille Dining Table
I just received this table and it is beautiful and exactly what I expected it to be. The only small issue I have is that it is not 30.5 inches high, but is 31.5 inches high. This is not a problem since I'm using it as a desk but for those who will use it as a table, make sure that the chairs will work...
November 7, 2012
Great Table
High quality table and very easy to assemble. However, the height specs are not as published. The actual measured height of the table is 31.5, not as listed; and not suitable for standard chairs or dining.

Blowout sweep for Hays Eagles
By CONOR NICHOLL
The Hays Legion roster features several players back from last year's state championship squad. The top four hitters, second baseman Clayton Basgall, center fielder Dan Bittel, shortstop Hayden Hutchison and first baseman Chandler Rule, have all signed to play college baseball. Hutchison collected all-state honors this spring for Hays High School. Plus, the Eagles have several other players who were full-time varsity starters in the spring.
Great Bend has five players out of a 16-person roster that have played varsity baseball. Just two were full-time starters in the spring. The Chiefs don't have a Junior Legion this summer, so have combined Legion and Junior Legion.
The talent gap was on display as Hays rolled to a 20-0 victory in three innings and an 8-0 victory in five innings. The doubleheader combined to last 2 hours, 40 minutes. Hays moved to 7-6 and Great Bend dropped to 0-6.
"We have some guys that have experience, and we have got some guys that are back from last year's team," Hays coach Brad Kelly said. "So baseball is one of those funny games that you never know what is going to happen. If you face a team that is swinging it well one day, anything can happen. We did a good job pitching strikes and luckily, they hit into a lot of outs for us."
Great Bend started five freshmen in Game 1 and used four pitchers.
"We are taking some lumps at times, but I think in the long run, it is going to be a good thing for us," Great Bend coach Michael Stettinger said.
Brady Bieker earned the win for the Eagles and Hays tallied eight runs in the first and 12 in the second.
"Brady is a guy we are looking forward to some really good things from him next year even in the high school season and even in the summer season next year," Kelly said.
The Eagles had their first 13 baserunners reach base in the second inning without an out. Overall, Great Bend walked nine batters. Basgall reached base all four times and went 3 of 4 with four runs scored and two RBI. In the second inning, Basgall hit a line drive that would have went for extra bases, but Kelly held him at first base as Hays played station-to-station once the game got out of hand.
"We have been pretty consistent on the mound," Kelly said. "I think our defense has let us down in a couple of key spots in games where we had leads or where we were tied up and we didn't make some plays where we had an opportunity to make some plays. Offensively, over the last three games, we have swung it pretty well, but up until then, we had six guys that were hitting under .250 on the year."
In Game 2, Rule threw a complete game. Hays scored five in the first and three in the second. Bittel went 2 of 2 with a walk and two runs scored. He was the lone Eagle to reach base every plate appearance.
"Some of those guys have brought those batting averages up over the last few games," Kelly said.
"That's the main difference. Last year, we had guys who could hit the ball one through nine. This year, so far, it has been a little bit of a struggle. But the tide has kind of been turning, so hopefully, we keep going in the right direction."

Broadband Topics
The FCC is committed to ensuring that telecommunications are accessible to individuals with disabilities. To meet this commitment, the FCC takes guidance from the Access Board, an independent federal agency devoted to accessibility for people with disabilities.
The Federal Communications Commission regularly receives complaints from consumers on a wide variety of issues. Consumers are encouraged to always try to resolve the problem first with the company whose products, services or billing are at issue.
Online Privacy
Online privacy is a growing concern for consumers as more day-to-day transactions take place electronically. The FCC urges consumers to take basic steps to protect themselves and their private information online.
Online Safety
The FCC is committed to helping children keep safe when they are online, in and outside of the home. As a partner in OnGuard Online, a federal agency partnership maintained by the Federal Trade Commission, the FCC provides practical information about discusing online safety with children and teenagers, including social networking, cyberbullying, using mobile phones safely and protecting the family computer.
The FCC is a leader in encouraging the safe use of electronic media by children. From televisions to laptops to cell phones, electronic media have become our children's almost constant companions.
Phone Bills
The FCC's Truth-in-Billing rules require telephone companies to provide clear, non-misleading, plain language in describing services for which customers are being billed. The company sending the bill must identify the service provider associated with each charge.
Many consumers find unsolicited e-mail and text messages – also known as spam – annoying and costly. In 2003, Congress enacted the CAN-SPAM Act to curb spam.
The FCC is committed to ensuring that telecommunications are accessible to individuals with disabilities. To meet this commitment, the FCC takes guidance from the Access Board, an independent federal agency devoted to accessibility for people with disabilities.
Closed Captioning
Closed captioning displays the audio portion of a television program as text on the television screen.It provides a critical link to news, entertainment and other televised information for individuals who are deaf or hard-of-hearing.
The FCC addresses a variety of disability-related telecommunications matters, including telecommunications relay service, access to telecommunications equipment and services for people with disabilities, access to emergency information and closed captioning. The FCC also provides expert advice and assistance to consumers, industry and others on issues relevant to people with disabilities.
Native Nations
Many residents of Tribal lands and native communities lack affordable access to modern communications tools and networks, and risk being left behind as these technologies quickly develop. The FCC is addressing this gap through regulatory action, consumer information and community outreach.
Relay Services
Relay services allow people with communications disabilities to interact with voice phone users through a keyboard or other input method. There are various types of relay service.
Rural Access
Rural and small-town Americans require access to 21st century communications tools and technologies to stay plugged in and competitive in the global economy. Bringing the benefits of mobile broadband to rural America is one the FCC's top priorities.
Universal Service
The Universal Service Fund program -- or USF-- has helped connect virtually every American to our 20th century communications grid, first bringing basic telephone service to places where there was no economic case for service, and then extending the benefits of mobile phone service to rural and underserved areas. The FCC is pursuing initiatives that will modernize and streamline the Universal Service Fund program, preparing it for 21st century telecommunications and technologies.
Mergers & Acquisitions
The FCC reviews applications for the transfer of control and assignment of licenses and authorizations to ensure that the public interest would be served by approving the transaction.The commission's goal is a faster and more consistent review and analysis of applications.
The FCC uses auctions (competitive bidding) as one of the primary means of choosing among two or more mutually exclusive applications for an initial license for most commercial services, including wireless, television and radio. In a spectrum auction, parties apply to become qualified bidders for one or more spectrum licenses and take part in an online auction for those licenses.
The competitive framework for communications services should foster innovation and offer consumers reliable, meaningful selections in affordable services. The FCC pursues removing regulatory, economic and operational barriers throughout the telecommunications sector.
The FCC enforces provisions of the Communications Act and the commission's rules, orders and terms and conditions relating to licenses. Areas of responsibility include broadcast, cable, satellite and wireless services, as well as common carrier services.
Equipment Authorization
The FCC oversees the authorization of equipment using the radio frequency spectrum. These devices may not be imported and/or marketed until they have shown compliance with the technical standards specified by the commission.
The FCC is responsible for managing and licensing the electromagnetic spectrum for commercial users and for non-commercial users including: state, county and local governments. This includes public safety, commercial and non-commercial fixed and mobile wireless services, broadcast television and radio, satellite and other services.
The FCC reviews applicants' eligibility to ensure compliance with applicable ownership rules for licenses, including media licenses and other authorizations. For example, parties must disclose ownership structures when applying for a license or authorization.
While the siting of wireless facilities is generally a local matter subject to zoning ordinances and statutes, the FCC has some rules relating to the location and construction of communications towers. For example, to ensure safe air navigation FCC rules require the registration of towers or other structures that support antennas, such as water towers or buildings, that are more than 200 feet in height or located near an airport runway.
Educators, parents and students meet major challenges in education through the use of broadband technology. Broadband lets teachers expand instruction beyond the confines of the physical classroom and the traditional school day.
Energy & Environment
Broadband plays an important role in solving the country's energy and environmental challenges. Broadband and advanced communications can impact energy and the environment as the foundation of a smarter electric grid and as a platform for innovation in smart homes and buildings, especially if utilities unlock energy data.
Health Care
Broadband-enabled solutions have an important role in health information technology. There is potential to improve delivery of health care services, contribute to controlling costs, and extend the reach of health care professionals.
National Broadband Plan
The National Broadband Plan sets out a roadmap for initiatives to stimulate economic growth, spur job creation and boost America's capabilities in education, health care, homeland security and more. The plan includes sections focusing on economic opportunity, education, health care, energy and the environment, government performance, civic engagement and public safety.
Public Safety
During a major emergency, the FCC's primary mission is to ensure continuous operations and restore critical communications systems and services. Reliable, effective communications are critical whenever life or property are in danger.
Open Internet
The "open Internet" is the Internet as we know it. It's "open" because it uses free, publicly available standards that anyone can access and build to, and because it treats all traffic that flows across the network in roughly the same way.
Cable Television
Cable television is a video delivery service provided by a cable operator to subscribers via a coaxial or fiber optic cable. Other subscription video service distributors include direct broadcast satellite providers, home satellite dishes and local telephone companies.
Satellite technology provides telecommunications service throughout the nation and the world. Because satellites orbit far above the Earth, their footprint, or service area, covers nearly every part of the United States, providing instant, ubiquitous and reliable coverage.
Smart Grid
Congress directed the FCC, in its development of a National Broadband Plan, to include "a plan for the use of broadband infrastructure and services in advancing... energy independence and efficiency." Smart Grid technology is a promising way to use broadband and other advanced communications to promote energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and encourage energy independence. Smart Grid applications are being deployed using a variety of public and private communications networks.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) allows you to make voice calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a traditional phone line. VoIP service providers offer a range of capabilities. These include local, long distance, and international calling; calling via computer, mobile phone, dedicated VoIP phones, or VoIP adapters; and support for connections between VoIP and traditional phones.
Wireless communications services include cellular telephone, paging, personal communications services, public safety, and commercial and private radio services. Cultivating growth and encouraging innovation in the wireless arena is a key FCC goal.

An amazing Sunday...full of excitement!
Written by ArchangelX Monday, 28 March 2011 09:11
Wow...what an incredible Sunday! As a short recap, the day got off to an exciting start as the Unlimited dragsters started off with their free runs. What seemed like a typical morning warm-up soon turned into a display of the effects of uncontrolled speed as we had two spectacular crashes one after another. This really woke everyone up and laid down some considerable tension as people stepped up to the line to make their runs.
The racing went down in a heads up, no-holds barred elimination grudge match amongst our competitors. Some quick highlights include a very fast WRX driven by our avid HulaCrosser, Mike Ward taking his class win in his first time at the Sand Drags and Tom Brown taking second place after his harrowing rollover crash that morning against final winner Les Souza, and our 4WD Unlimited class was taken by Jeremy Moniz in his "Showtime" dragster. Kapena was on-hand with a great set, including our hilarious MC, Rodney Villanueva, and all had a great time as the racing went down in exciting fashion.
More photos and info to come, but for now, take a look at some GoProHD footage taken from Tom Brown's crazy roll over! As a reminder our next Sand Drag will be on Sunday, April 17th! The date has been moved so that we don't conflict with Easter! See you there!

ELKHART - June 2006 -- Digital B-Chain (DBC®) technology has an increasing presence in cinema today as CEC Theatres in Waterloo, Iowa opens the newest theatre equipped with Crown's DBC System. CEC sound technician Craig Seidenkranz applauds the system: "By using a DBC System, with Crown CTs Amplifiers, HiQnet™ modules and DTS XD-10, we have a true digital signal from start to finish. The clarity and power capability is awesome. It's the best sound I've heard in a theatre since I began working as a sound technician in 1981." The DBC System is an advanced approach to digital cinema audio. The heart of the system is the Crown DBC Network Bridge. This central unit accepts standard analog and/or AES digital audio and CobraNet™ digital channels from other cinema processors, cinema Servers, or alternative content media players; and bridges them to a DBC network over standard Fast Ethernet hardware and cabling to DBC-compatible Crown amplifiers. The DBC Network Bridge also provides necessary system processing, which can be stored and recalled via onboard presets. JBL ScreenArray® cinema systems featuring Academy Award® winning technology complete the DBC System.
In the Waterloo example, the primary signal source is a DTS XD-10 digital audio output cinema media player and a second source using a Dolby DA 20 digital adapter with an Ultra-Stereo JSD 80 sound processor. Located behind the screen are JBL 4632 three-way ScreenArray speaker systems for screen channels, six JBL 4642A subwoofers and twenty JBL 8340A surround speakers. Three CTs 2000 amplifiers are used for the stage speakers, three CTs 3000s for the subwoofers and three CTs 2000 amplifiers for the surround channels. This technology offers several unique advantages. The system provides redundancy to minimize the possibility of sound problems. In addition to two digital sound format sources, CEC implemented two complete network systems and conventional analog wiring as a third system. From a projectionist's perspective, the system is easy to operate as it shuts down automatically when not in use and wakes up when it receives a signal. Chuck Goodsell, JBL Professional's Director of Cinema Marketing notes: "Digital B-Chain Technology is being applauded by audiences and exhibitors alike. Incorporated into the cinema experience at CEC Theatres are Crown DBC enabled amplifiers and JBL's award winning ScreenArray speakers. CEC Theatres realize the advantages of lower infrastructure and operating costs, system wide diagnostics, and applications for alternative content, while the audience experiences superior digital sound provided by DBC networked digital cinema audio." Stephen Morris, Director of Marketing for Cinema at Crown, adds: "DBC also offers unprecedented customization and multiple layers of password protection. By setting up simple and intuitive custom control pages in the software, CEC Theatres assured that the appropriate information and control is available to all users of their system, at all times. This flexibility makes the DBC System the perfect platform for everyone from system designers to projectionists."
CEC Theaters is so pleased with the success of the Digital B- Chain system that they are planning to install the system in additional theaters. According to Vice President of CEC Theatres, Tony Tillemans, "As part of our theatre project in Waterloo, we wanted to build one auditorium that would stand out from the norm. We not only wanted to impress the customers with the size of the auditorium but also "wow" them with the sound system. We feel the decision to go with the Crown/JBL Digital B-Chain system allowed us to accomplish this. We look forward to installing the same system in an auditorium we have being constructed in Fargo, North Dakota."

Emperor Domitian
Also known as
- Titus Flavius Domitianus
- Titus Flavius Caesar Domitianus
- Titus Flavius Caesar Domitianus Augustus
Roman emperor from 81 to 96. He was the first of the emperors to declare himself a deity. In spite of his private vices he endeavored to reform morals and religion. For this reason he inaugurated a severe persecution of the Christians, to which references are made in the Apocalypse, which was written during his time. Before the end of his reign he ceased to persecute.

The 24-hour urine copper test measures the amount of copper in a urine sample.
Quantitative urinary copper
A 24-hour urine sample is needed.
Cap the container. Keep it in the refrigerator or a cool place during the collection period.
Write your name, date, and time you completed the test on the container.
For an infant, thoroughly wash the area where urine exits the body. Open a urine collection bag (a plastic bag with an adhesive paper on one end). For boys, place the entire penis in the bag and attach the adhesive to the skin. For girls, place the bag over the labia. Diaper as usual over the secured bag.
This procedure may take a couple of attempts. Lively infants can move the bag, causing the urine to be absorbed by the diaper. Check the infant frequently and change the bag after the infant has urinated into it. Drain the urine from the bag into the container provided by your health care provider.
Return the bag or container as instructed.
A laboratory specialist will determine how much copper is in the sample.
No special preparation is necessary for this test, but if the collection is being taken from an infant, a couple of extra collection bags may be necessary.
The test involves only normal urination, and there is no discomfort.
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs of Wilson's disease , a genetic disorder that affects how the body processes copper.
The normal range is 10 to 30 micrograms per 24 hours.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
An abnormal result means you have a higher than normal level of copper. This may be due to:
There are no risks associated with providing a urine sample.

GE JGB800SEP2SS Gas Range
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
Our top choice among gas ranges, the GE JGB800SEP2SS stainless steel gas range doesn't have all the bells and whistles of other ranges, but delivers top notch cooking and baking performance. While the oven doesn't have convection capabilities, it offers timed and delayed baking. Below the oven, there's a warming drawer. This stainless steel unit was the fastest of the gas ranges to bring water to a boil and simmers steadily. A griddle burner speeds up Sunday-brunch prep, and a griddle is included.

Board of Trustees
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees oversees the foundation and its work, as its ultimate corporate authority.
The Board was formed in 2003 with three Trustees, and now consists of up to ten Trustees. Its work is captured in part in resolutions and votes. It appoints four officers: a Chair and Vice Chair (who have to be Trustees), and a Treasurer and Secretary (who do not). Other work is delegated to its committees, including Board Governance, Audit, and Human Resources committees.
Since 2008, the Board has seats for ten Trustees:
- one founder's seat (reserved for Jimmy Wales);
- two seats selected by the Wikimedia chapters;
- three seats elected directly by the Wikimedia community; and
- four seats appointed by the rest of the Board for specific expertise
Contacting the Board
A Board portal and noticeboard on Meta offer recent updates and a place to share requests and recommendations. To contact the Foundation, see our contact information. To contact the Board directly, post to the noticeboard, or write to WMFboardwikimedia.org.

Jan-Bart de Vreede
Jan-Bart de Vreede
| |
Member until | December 2015 |
Current position | Chair |
Jan-Bart de Vreede is from Gouda in the Netherlands. de Vreede spent most of his childhood in the Netherlands, but he also lived in Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Kenya and the United States. He studied Business Administration at the Rotterdam School of Management. He has three children: Anna (5), Matthias (10) and Ruben (13).
For the past 10 years, he has worked at the Kennisnet Foundation in the Netherlands, a publicly-funded Dutch organization tasked with the promotion of IT use in education to help solve some of the major challenges in the field. At Kennisnet, de Vreede is responsible for the Kennisnet communities and Wikiwijs. Most of his time at Kennisnet is spent on the Wikiwijs project within the Netherlands. This is a countrywide initiative aimed at encouraging teachers to develop and share Open Educational Resources by offering them a platform to find, create and share OER materials.
He has been involved with Wikimedia since 2004, through his role as a Board member and his work at Kennisnet, and he has long been involved with the community aspects of the various projects. He has attended every Wikimania (an experience he describes as both exhausting and invigorating). After attending his first Wikimania, he was quickly convinced that this was a special group of people who were doing something extraordinary. When the chance came to be a part of the movement, he jumped at it.
In December 2006, de Vreede joined the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. He has served as Vice-chair since August 2011, and he also held the position from January 2007 until July 2010. He was instrumental in hiring the Wikimedia Foundation Executive Director and he considers this process as an important element in transitioning from an operating board in the early days to one that could manage larger meta issues. He also notes that restructuring the Board gave them the opportunity to include chapter-selected board members, which has increased the diversity of the board as a whole.
de Vreede was re-elected Vice Chair of the Board in July 2012, and he was elected as Chair of the Board in August 2013. His current term will continue until December 2015.
Patricio Lorente
Patricio Lorente
| |
Member until | August 2016 |
Current position | Vice Chair |
Patricio Lorente was born in 1969 in La Plata, Argentina. He studied at La Plata National University, where he currently works as General Prosecretary.
For several years he worked in the field of Development Cooperation, managing the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of local development projects funded by the Italian government and the European Union. He worked to strengthen local capacity as a condition for development, transcending the traditional approach of North-South cooperation by promoting South-South. He also supported decentralized cooperation by building horizontal networks of exchange between different cities and regions of Argentina.
Since 2004, he has served in the National University of La Plata, first as Prosecretary of Administration and subsequently as General Prosecretary. In his current position, he manages the strategic planning and the everyday issues and conflicts of a large and restless community, including both academics and student organizations. The National University of La Plata is a public university in Argentina and the second largest in the country, measured both in size (with 100,000 students and 15,000 teachers) and by scientific production. As with all public universities in Argentina, there is no tuition and enrollment is free.
He joined the Spanish Wikipedia as an editor in 2005 and he has been an admin (sysop, bureaucrat) since 2006. He is also a founding member of Wikimedia Argentina and was its President from 2007 to 2012. He was responsible for the organization of Wikimanía 2009 in Buenos Aires and has participated as an organizer or speaker in numerous conferences, seminars and workshops on Wikipedia/Wikimedia in Argentina and other Latin American countries (Colombia, Ecuador, México, Perú). He was one of the primary organizers of the first Ibero-American Wikimedia Summit, held in Buenos Aires in 2011, which helped bring together representatives from both established Wikimedia chapters and informal working groups throughout Latin America, Spain, Portugal and Italy.
Lorente has devoted his time to outreach activities in education, with particular interest in off-wiki activities. He is the author of a booklet published by Wikimedia Argentina called "Wikipedia in the classroom" and, representing Wikimedia Argentina, he was a member of the Advisory Board of Conectar Igualdad, a government program that is delivering more than three million netbooks to all public high school students in Argentina. As a result of this work, many wiki-related activities were launched and the National Ministry of Education opened a special site with tutorials, documents and guides about Wikipedia and education. There is also a special pilot program in more than 200 schools across the country -- "Escuelas de Innovación" (Innovative Schools) -- that is directly training teachers on possible uses of Wikimedia projects for their classes, not only in terms of creating content but also regarding notions of relevance, content verification and discussions on neutrality issues.
He joined the Wikimedia Foundation Board as a Chapters selected Trustee in 2012, and was re-selected in 2014. His current term will continue until August 2016. In August 2014, he was elected Vice Chair of the Board.

Current position | Member |
Phoebe Ayers is a reference, instruction and collections librarian at the University of California, Davis, specializing in computer science, physics and engineering information resources. Her interests include open access and access to scientific knowledge, the effective use of collaborative tools (such as wikis) within communities, and how trustworthy information and knowledge is created and used both on- and off-line. She has been at UCD since 2005, and has served in UC-wide, regional and national library organizations. She has a BA in English literature and history and a MLIS from the University of Washington, Seattle.
Phoebe has been a Wikimedian since 2003, when she made her first edits on the English Wikipedia. Starting in 2006 she has been heavily involved in the planning of the annual international Wikimania conference, assisting with organization and facilitating the jury that chooses the conference location. She was also a member of the Special Projects Committee in 2006, has been a contributing writer for the English Wikipedia newsletter "The Signpost", has organized local meetups and events, and has given many talks about Wikipedia for library groups and others. She has also been involved in the wiki research community, chairing WikiSym 2010. Most recently she's been involved in efforts to help libraries work effectively with the Wikimedia projects, including founding a mailing list devoted to the topic, planning training workshops, and sitting on the North American Glam-Wiki advisory board. She continues to be an active editor, contributing to the English Wikipedia and other projects.
In 2008, she co-authored a book about the English-language Wikipedia titled "How Wikipedia Works: and How You Can be a Part of It" (No Starch Press). The book covers using, understanding, and contributing to Wikipedia; it is freely licensed and is only the second book in English to be published about the site.
Phoebe was selected as a trustee by the Wikimedia chapters in 2010, and served a two-year term. She was selected to serve as Board Secretary in 2011. After her term ended in 2012, she ran for a community-elected seat in 2013 and was re-elected for a two-year term. She was elected Vice Chair of the Board in August 2013, serving until August 2014.

Bishakha Datta
Bishakha Datta

Member until | December 2014 |
Current position | Member |
Bishakha Datta is a non-fiction writer and documentary filmmaker with diverse, international experience. She is dedicated to disseminating women's perspectives through media, art and culture, particularly the perspectives of women who are marginal or invisible. She received a BA in Economics and an MA in English Literature from Mumbai University, as well as an MA in Communications from Stanford University.
Datta is the co-founder and Executive Director of Point of View, a nonprofit organization in Mumbai, India, that promotes women's points of view through media, art and culture. She is also on the boards of various non-profits from around the world, including Breakthrough, CREA, Dreamcatchers Foundation, and Majlis. Her first book, And Who Will Make the Chapatis?, focused on rural women's participation in politics, while her first independent documentary film In The Flesh explored the lives of three people in prostitution from their own perspectives. Her latest book 9 Degrees of Justice documents new perspectives on violence on women in India, while her latest film, Taaza Khabar, explores a rural newspaper run by women, many of whom are Dalit or tribal.
Datta joined the Wikimedia Board in March 2010. She was on the controversial content committee and was part of the Movement Roles project and working group, which developed the framework for new models of affiliation within the Wikimedia movement. Datta has been the Chapters Committee liaison for the Board since 2010. She served as the Secretary of the Board from July to October 2012.
She has spent a great deal of time and energy working with the growing Wikimedia movement in India, facilitating connections between Wikipedia editors in the country and the Foundation. Datta considers herself a community-oriented trustee with extensive prior movement experience outside of Wikimedia, which she used to nurture the budding community there. She helped organize the first community meetup in Mumbai and was an advisor to WikiConference India 2011, which had over 600 attendees. She is proud that her first community barnstar resulted from that conference.
Datta considers editor retention and editor growth to be the most significant challenges facing the Board and the Wikimedia Foundation, as well as the greatest opportunity to sustain the Wikimedia movement. In addition to technical solutions like a visual editor, she will continue to encourage the Foundation to focus on the priority geographies of Brazil, India and Arabic language countries, as well as smaller wikis like those in Indic languages. She also plans to continue to focus support at the Board level on work to increase the number of female editors on Wikimedia projects, while linking that work to larger strategic objectives.
Datta lives and works in Mumbai, India and edits on English Wikipedia and on Meta-wiki. Her current term on the Board continues until December 2014.
Jimmy Wales
Jimmy Wales
| |
Member until | December 2015 |
Current position | Member |
Jimmy Wales is an Internet entrepreneur and wiki enthusiast, and founder of the Wikipedia project.
Jimmy was born in Huntsville, Alabama in 1966, and is a graduate of Auburn University and the University of Alabama. He worked as Research Director at Chicago Options Associates, a futures and options trading firm then located in Chicago. In the mid-1990s he started Bomis, a search portal focusing on aspects of pop culture, one of the first users of the freely licensed data of the Open Directory Project.
In 1999, Jimmy had the concept of a freely distributable encyclopedia and founded Nupedia, by hiring philosopher Larry Sanger as editor-in-chief and assigning two programmers to write software for it. Nupedia failed, perhaps due to being a top-down cathedral model, as opposed to Wikipedia, which is the ultimate bazaar. After two years of working with the Nupedia concept, that team opened Wikipedia to help channel content into Nupedia; Wikipedia became an instant success, but not in the envisioned way, and Nupedia was shut down. In 2003, Jimmy set up the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization, to support Wikipedia and its sister projects.
In 2004, Jimmy founded Wikia. He was appointed a fellow of Harvard Law School's Berkman Center for Internet and Society in mid-2005, and in October of 2005 joined the Board of Directors of Socialtext, a provider of wiki technology to businesses. He lives in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Sam studied math and physics, and spent time teaching and developing software for facilitating translation and community-building before focusing on universal education. More information is available on his Wikipedia user page. He can be reached there or by email.
Alice Wiegand
Alice Wiegand

Member until | December 2016 |
Current position | Member |
Alice Wiegand lives in Duesseldorf, Germany, where she is a personal aide to the Mayor of Meerbusch. Previously she ran Meerbusch's IT department as a specialist for system administration in the public sector.
Wiegand has made various detours before she reached her current occupation. Originally she studied economics, then she decided to become a tailor. After that she jumped at the chance to be trained in software development, followed by training and study for the German senior civil service. She has recently begun her Master's studies in Public Policy and Governance.
Wiegand started editing German Wikipedia in 2004, following one of the first major series of media stories about the site in Germany. She was looking for something meaningful to do besides her job and started to edit on topics like contemporary art and comics. Soon her activities switched to administration, organization and contributor support. In recent years, she has organized several workshops and skills trainings for contributors, for the volunteer response team OTRS and for Wikipedia administrators.
She has extensive experience as a board member of Wikimedia Deutschland (WMDE, the German chapter of the Wikimedia movement), which she joined in 2008. At WMDE, she served as secretary and vice president, and she was involved in strategy development, organizational structuring and executive accounting and assessment.
Wiegand is convinced that offering free knowledge to people is an essential condition to facilitate free and independent decisions. She believes in the strength and advantages of decentralized structures and wants to improve the mutual understanding of all parties involved in the Wikimedia movement. She sees the need to provide reliability and stability at a time when the movement faces fundamental changes in resource allocation, new models of affiliation and the interaction of the chapters.
Wiegand served as administrator and bureaucrat on German Wikipedia. Her edit count is 22860, but the curve shape has rapidly decreased since 2008, when she joined the board of WMDE.
She joined the Wikimedia Foundation Board as a Chapters' selected Trustee in 2012, and was appointed to serve the remainder of Ana Toni's term until December 2014, as well as a subsequent full term until December 2016.
María Sefidari
María Sefidari

Member until | July 2015 |
Current position | Member |
María Sefidari Huici was born and lives in Madrid, Spain. She graduated with a Psychology degree from Universidad Complutense de Madrid, and she afterwards got a Masters' degree in Management and Tourism at the Business faculty of the same university. She is currently a Computer Science Ph.D candidate at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos.
Sefidari started contributing to English Wikipedia in 2006, after her younger sister introduced her to the online encyclopedia. She started editing articles related to psychology, but soon expanded to other topics, including computer science, literature, science fiction and LGBT articles. She currently has the rollbacker user right there.
Almost a year later, she started contributing to Spanish Wikipedia, where she founded the LGBT WikiProject and became an administrator and bureaucrat within her first six months. Because of an unreliable internet connection, she was never able to suffer from editcountitis, but instead aspired to make quality contributions. She has +2000 edits on English Wikipedia, where she significantly contributed to a Featured Article (FA), and +18000 edits on Spanish Wikipedia, where she has significantly contributed to 14 FAs and 9 GA's. She also contributes sporadically to sister projects like Wikimedia Commons and Wikinoticias, and is an accredited reporter for English Wikinews.
She is a founding member of Wikimedia España (WMES), the Spanish chapter of the Wikimedia movement, and she served on its Board as its first Vice President. In 2012, she was elected a member of the Chapters' Committee (ChapCom), the Wikimedia community committee entrusted with advising the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees on the approval of new national or subnational chapters. In mid-2012, following a community discussion and a resulting Board of Trustees' resolution, the scope of the Committee was expanded and it transitioned into the Affiliations Committee (AffCom), and now includes thematic organisations and user groups.
As a member of AffCom, she has acted as liaison with many groups seeking recognition, and has helped guide them through the process of successfully becoming affiliates. To do this she has helped in community organising, cross-cultural communication, reviewing bylaws, and providing governance advice for emerging organisations. In September 2012 she was elected the first Treasurer of AffCom, tasked with overseeing and monitoring disbursement of the Committee's budget, and she was re-elected in March 2013.
Sefidari has also served on the Individual Engagement Grants (IEG) committee for its first round. Through funding individuals or small teams that organize, build, create, research or facilitate something that enhances the work of Wikimedia's volunteers, the IEG supports Wikimedians to complete projects that benefit the Wikimedia movement, focusing on experimentation for online impact. As a member, she has reviewed proposals, read and researched submissions, scored proposals according to a rubric determined by selection criteria, and recommended proposals for funding.
Sefidari believes deeply in the importance of making knowledge available to everyone in the world. She also believes in the importance of diversity, and of encouraging women to contribute to the creation and availability of human knowledge. In her spare time she helps run Wiki-workshops and supports Real Madrid CF.
Sefidari was elected to the Board by the Wikimedia community in June 2013 and her current term continues until July 2015.
