[ZF] Announcement: 2012 Zope Foundation Board Elections and General Meeting

[Jens Vagelpohl]

Hi everyone,

Earlier this month, Tres Seaver sent out the 2012 board election timetable:

http://foundation.zope.org/news/2012_election_and_general_meeting

As you may have noticed, we have only received four nominations during 
the nomination period. One additional nomination for Jeff Rush, our 
current treasurer, was omitted by accident. He had indicated his 
willingness to continue serving, but never sent his official notice to 
the list. With him, we are up to five nominations.

The board has reached out to several community members and found one 
more candidate willing to stand, Rob Page from Zope Corporation. He 
brings extensive experience from several years of Zope Foundation 
board work from the foundation inception until early 2010.

With six nominees we are one short of our usual count, but enough for 
productive board work. Since the number of nominees matches the number 
of potential board seats the outgoing board has decided to forgo the 
voting process and consider all nominees as elected by acclamation.

This email serves as notice to all nominees who accepted their
nomination that the outgoing board thanks them for their willingness 
to serve on the new board. They are, in no particular order:

Jeff Rush
Tres Seaver
Jens Vagelpohl
Rob Page
Jan Smith
Aroldo Souza-Leite

The new board will be seated at the general meeting on Friday, March 16, 
2012 at 15:00 UTC. The meeting will take place on irc.freenode.net, channel
#zope-foundation. Please mark your calendars. The board will publish an 
official meeting agenda shortly.
