Folks,
The membership nomination and election process is now complete, and the
following community members have been selected as additional voting members
of the foundation. We would like to stress that while the foundation needs
a voting membership in order to insure a board is selected that is
reasonably representative of the broad community, in essentially all other
ways anyone can contribute equally in the work of the foundation. As the
FAQ says:"A non-voting (i.e. associate) member can do everything a voting member can
do, except vote in board elections. They can be members of committees and
vote on them. They can speak up, and contribute in every other way. The
foundation aims to be a do-acracy, and so the way to have influence is to
do things! Ultimately, of course, the foundation will only succeed in its
mission if the entire community gets involved -- so please don't hesitate!
We need your help!"Andrey Kiselev

expanded membership. The Promotions and Visibility, Web and Incubation
committees have been launched. We are also getting going on the incubation
process to establish what it means for the initial eight projects to be
"foundation projects", review code copyright details and so forth.Best regards,
