Board Training edit

Training for board members is really important since we need to develop a program and projects for our members. We need to learn how to create budgets, how to efficiently organise a meeting, how to take decisions, how to make financial reports, how to interact with institutions and government. We need to learn the legal requirements, and how to collaborate in a professional way in general.

Wikimedia training edit

We should organise decent Wikimedia training for the community members. How to write decent articles, how to comply with the free licenses how to support the Friendly space policy.

Fixed costs edit

Those costs are mandatory, and directly related to legal and administrative obligations.
