- 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.
- — The Police
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.
