Hi folks - I saw the message today about there being no nominations for the open Board seats and am announcing my candidacy for one of the seats. I've been a member of the openSUSE project since the beginning and a SUSE/openSUSE user since the late 90s. I've been a SUSE employee for the past 24 years, starting as a kernel file system developer, and after a few title changes, now serve as VP of Engineering for Linux Systems. At the openSUSE Conference in Nuernberg this summer, we had some lively discussions across a number of topics, including renaming, process, and governance. I have some interest in improving the governance process without re-inventing the wheel as a lever to drive community/user base growth. Thanks for your consideration. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have. -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney VP Engineering, Linux Systems
