The openSUSE Board elections are rapidly approaching and we could use more members and more voters.

The openSUSE Board is elected by members of the openSUSE Project. Wondering about becoming a member? Membership is open to folks who've made "continued and substantial contributions" to the openSUSE project. See the openSUSE wiki description and process. If you'd like to vote in the election, you must apply by November 23rd.

If you'd like to run for a board seat, you must be a member and declare your candidacy by November 23rd.

This year the board has an additional "community" seat, which means that the number of Novell-employed board seats are equal to the community seats. This also means an additional seat to fill in the election. So far we have a couple of great candidates, but we could always use more.

If you're interested in helping with openSUSE governance in 2010, it's time to step up. ]]> Announcements jbrockmeier http://forums.opensuse.org/announcements/426075-opensuse-elections-deadlines-monday-november-23rd.html http://forums.opensuse.org/announcements/425284-opensuse-11-2-released.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:53:22 GMT openSUSE 11.2 is finally out (http://news.opensuse.org/2009/11/12/opensuse-11-2-released/)!
