Hi, Within the past few weeks, board member Peter Linnell accepted a position with SUSE. Peter will continue to participate in the the openSUSE community but to maintain compliance with the openSUSE project election rules, Peter recognized that he needed to resign from the openSUSE Board. The rules state that "In the event that individuals affiliated with a company or organization hold more than 40 per cent of the electable seats, affiliates from that corporation will be required to resign until fewer than 40 per cent of electable seats are controlled by that company or organization." With Peter's resignation, the Board has opted, in accordance to the election rules, to appoint a new member to fill the vacancy until the election is completed later this year. Having reviewed the results from last years elections and discussed the opportunity with the top vote recipients, the openSUSE board members would like to announce and welcome Manu Gupta to the board. Welcome Manu! Manu, we look forward to working with you.
