Thanks to everyone who supported me in the 2006 Board Election, and for all constructive criticism. I will do my best to work together with the Board to move our organization forward. Please continue to comment or ask questions about my Foundation involvement.

Poets, priests and politicians

Have words to thank for their positions

Words that scream for your submission

And no-one's jamming their transmission

And when their eloquence escapes you

Their logic ties you up and rapes you.

My name is Erik Möller. I'm a member of the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation. You can find more information about my historical involvement with Wikimedia in my "wiki CV". Beyond Wikimedia, I work as a software developer and project manager on wiki-related projects, most notably WiktionaryZ. A long time ago, I started infoAnarchy (originally a weblog, now a wiki), co-founded Der Humanist and helped to build a scientific archive on the Origins of Peace and Violence.

Current Board to-do:

Process information, responses to RfC
Make personal timetable
Discuss strategy with all Board members
Inventorize Wikimedia information and communication channels
Collect some agenda points for Board retreat in October
Prepare early Oct. meeting at Frankfurter Buchmesse

A long time ago, I wrote the following declaration of bias for my work on Wikipedia. It may also be useful in other contexts.

Declaration of bias:

I am opposed to irrationalism, be it in the form of organized religion, miracle healers or postmodernism.
I am strongly opposed to all types of "intellectual property".
I am in favor of personal liberties (speech, abortion, sex, drugs etc.).
I am in favor of democracy and capitalism.
I am in favor of a working social system.
I am not a pacifist.
