[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Board Election 2008 - Nominations open Friday 13th June

[jo at frot.org]

dear all,

The Charter Members of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation are now
responsible for electing new members to the Foundation's Board.

The Board consists of 9 members who are elected to serve a 2-year
term. This year there are four seats to be allocated, next year five.

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Election_2008#Board_Election
has more of the details. Nominations will be accepted from this Friday
(13th) through to the following Friday 20th of June. 

Now would be a fine time to have a think about who you would like to
see representing OSGeo at Board level. You should confirm with a potential 
nominee that they wish to stand, before sending public mail; so it's
worth contacting them right away, so they have time to think it over.

please also cc'd to this list (discuss at lists.osgeo.org)
