[ZF] Announcement: 2009 Zope Foundation Board Elections and General Meeting

[Martijn Faassen]

Hi there,

Quoting from Tres's mail:

- - Foundation members may nominate any member by responding to the
 board's announcment on the foundation at zope.org maling list.
 Nominations will remain open until Tuesday, 2009-02-24, 23:00 UTC.

It's high time we start nominating people for the foundation board,
otherwise we'll have nobody at all to vote for. I will therefore kick
off the nomination and nominate *two* people for the Zope Foundation
board:

Jens Vagelpohl - as a fellow board member I can state that Jens has
been invaluable to get and keep the ball rolling on a great number of
important foundation issues. I'd really like to see him on the next
board again.

Stephan Richter - Stephan needs little introduction. With his
experience and energy, I think he'd make a great addition to the
board.

I hope people will follow me in nominating a few more board members.
We are aiming for 7 people in the next board, and I hope we'll get at
least a few more nominations than there are seats available so that
having an election makes sense!

Regards,

Martijn
