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."
