Dear openSUSE Members, We extended Phase 0 of openSUSE board election 2023 on Nov 30 for another 2 weeks which ended on 15 December 2023 in accordance with our election rules due to insufficient nominations at that time. We are pleased that we now have four candidates for the two available seats. The candidates for the openSUSE board election 2023 are listed below: Joed Lopez https://en.opensuse.org/User:Profetik777-opensuse Patrick Fitzgerald https://en.opensuse.org/User:Pfitzgerald Simon Lees https://en.opensuse.org/User:Simotek Shawn W Dunn https://en.opensuse.org/User:Sfalken We therefore start the Phase 1 of our 2023 Board election today for two weeks until 31 December 2023 [1].
