Hi everyone. This is an advance heads up about the upcoming SPI board
elections as the terms of two current board members, Tim Potter and
Andrew Tridgell, are expiring in July 2020.
The formal nomination period will open on Wednesday, 1st July 2020 and
run until Sunday, 12th July 2020. The election, if required, will
then run from Tuesday, 14th July 2020 until Wednesday, 29th July 2020.
Results will be announced on Thursday, 30th July 2020 or shortly
after.
The primary purpose of this advance notice is to give some time to
people to think about running for a board position. We have two seats
available for a three year term as board member.
Potential board members should be able to commit to attending the
monthly board meetings, which are conducted publicly via IRC (#spi on
the OFTC network). These take place at 20:00 UTC on the second Monday
of every month. More details, including all past agendas and minutes,
can be found at http://spi-inc.org/meetings/ <http://spi-inc.org/meetings/>.
The ideal candidate will have an existing involvement in the Free and
Open Source community, though this need not be with a project
affiliated with SPI.
Please do take the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about
SPI board membership on the spi-general mailing list before the formal
nomination period opens. You can also find various board members
present on #spi on irc.spi-inc.org <http://irc.spi-inc.org/> (OFTC).

This is a reminder that nominations for SPI board positions are open for
anyone interested in contributing to the open source community via SPI.
Since I neglected to send out an email at the beginning of the month I
will keep nominations open for another week - until the 19th of July.
Please let me know via return email if you are interested in joining the
board of SPI.
Tim.
