I want to nominate Andreas Stieger for the free position in the openSUSE Board. It is less than 4 months since the last Board election
Based on past precedent I'd expect the Board is actively investigating appointing a temporary Board member based on the candidates and results of the recent election
This is a fair expectation, yes. :-) Richard probably is one of three, four people on this planet who know our election rules best; for anyone interested here are some relevant bits: "The sitting board is allowed to appoint new members to fill a board vacancy caused by one of the following conditions: 1) resignation of a Board member or 2) the removal of a Board member, or 3) a Board member being unable to perform their duties, or 4) as part of elections if not enough people are elected." "Instead of opting to appoint more than one board member, the board may opt to call for new board elections for the vacant seats. These board members will then be elected for the current election period and the next period – thus until 31st of December of the next year." "A member of the board may resign their current position by giving written notice to the chairperson. The board should appoint a new board member or call elections to fill the vacancy."
