Quoting Robert Schweikert :

As hopefully everyone knows the chairman of the board is an appointed position. SUSE as the primary sponsor of our project has come to the conclusion that Richard Brown should be the new chairman of the board. Congratulations Richard.

With the change in role for Richard his elected seat becomes vacant. We are discussing various options to fill the seat for the remaining 5 months until the next election, please stay tuned for an announcement in the next couple of weeks.

Dear SUSE Management & openSUSE Board, dear Richard, Thank you very much for your announcement of today. It is a pleasure to see that the SUSE Management takes the role of SUSE as an important contributor to the openSUSE Project serious. The selection process of a new chairman, appointed by SUSE, reaffirms that SUSE does not: 'just have the interest of occupying the chair, but does so in the best interest of the project' With the appointment of Richard Brown, who is well known in the openSUSE project for his long standing contributions, even from before he joined SUSE as his employer, I am certain that you have found the best candidate available at this time. I wish Richard all the strength and power needed in successfully taking on his new role.

Hi all,

As Vincent has just announced he has stepped down as the chairman of the openSUSE Board. We would like to thank Vincent for his contributions to the project and the openSUSE Board over the years and hope that in between changing diapers he will have some time to put his fingers on the keyboard and continue to contribute to the project.

As hopefully everyone knows the chairman of the board is an appointed position. SUSE as the primary sponsor of our project has come to the conclusion that Richard Brown should be the new chairman of the board. Congratulations Richard.
