Sorry, may I ask whose seats are to be re-elected? I'm bit missing some timing
on https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board and I'm bit confused. Might be
simple table with years/election periods would help here...?

You make a good point, and I just brought
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_history
up-to-date (and created a check list for incoming board members that
includes updating this going forward).
Hope this helps,

This year was pretty busy for you, lets keep finger crossed that this is the
last election to run until the next regular election end of next year.
Please be informed that I stand for re-election.
Until a wiki page is set-up for the current election, information about myself
can be found at the board page [1] and the introduction from last time [2].

Thanks for the info Nathan,
can't wait for you to present your platform later in Phase I of the
election campaign, competition is always good! I wish you good luck, and
who knows, perhaps there are common things we feel about jointly, how would
you all guys feel about having a call to discuss our visions for the
project and see where each of us as a candidate stand on different topics /
challenges?

For those of me in strange timezones would you be able to record it
please? one of the benefits of when we last did it using IRC was that I
was able to read it later. (With candidates from a wide range of places
you might also wind up with some interesting issues selecting a time.

Shhh, that's something I haven't figured out yet. I'm gonna run some
tests this weekend to see if and how I can set up OBS to record the stream.
For timezones my idea was to go with Friday or Saturday so that people
at least don't have job duties on their back.

I'm gonna run some tests this weekend to see if
and how I can set up OBS
to record the stream.
It is fairly straightforward, only catch is, if you want different stream
and recording quality, you need to have the appropriate horsepower, there
is one config menu for stream , one for recording... later on the main
screen you just hit "start streaming" and "start recording" buttons
and it
will do both...
I can help you thru screen-share if you run into issues, ping me directly
if needed (UTC+1 timezone).
