The board has approved the openSUSE board election proposal as written up on this list http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2008-03/msg00252.html with the change that for now the board will do the membership approval, the details are now in the wiki at http://en.opensuse.org/Board/Election. We discussed the membership approval and consider that right now a task for the board - and not a burden - and also do not want to give the election committee too much work. We're now asking for volunteers for the openSUSE election team to drive the election process. The members of the election team have the following duty: * Drive the openSUSE board elections - this means the complete process starting by collecting volunteers, deciding on how to do the voting, driving the setup of any tools for the voting, announcing the election and results. Note: Members of the election team will not be able to stand up for the openSUSE board election themselves. If you're interested, please mail the openSUSE board at board@opensuse.org, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
