Hi all,
It's that time of the year again: we'll be having elections for the openSUSE Board in a few weeks!
For this to happen, we need people to step up and join the Election Committee. At least three openSUSE members need to be in that committee.
The Election Committee has the following responsabilities:
+ Defining how many vacant seats are "one year term" seats and how many vacant seats are "two year term" seats
Have board terms been redefined? We had a one-year term created for the first election because we wanted a staggered cycle where not everyone was elected the same year. After that, all new terms were elected as two year terms.
Are terms now redefined as having both one and two year terms available?
My understanding is that there is always a mix of one and two year terms, for both employees and non-employees (Chairman not withstanding) to ensure some form of conrinuity in the board. If my rusty brain is correct, which it may not be, there are a total of 3 seats up for election, 1@SUSE (Henne) and 2@External (Manu & myself), Will and Pascal were elected for two years.
