<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Dear Foundation
Members,</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">The OSMF Board
elections approach (please see details below, including <b>deadline
of 23 October</b>). Four seats will be in contention. *At
least one of them (mine) will be vacant and thus needs to be
filled.* <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">If anybody wishes to
chat with me about what is involved in serving on the OSMF
Board, please ping me and we'll set up a time to talk by
telephone, video conference (Big Blue Button), or your choice of
WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Board service is NOT an
honorary position. It involves <u>some</u> work. Please do not
mistake this for an "honorary" position. It comes with
responsibility for keeping the OSM project healthy, the
satisfaction of contributing to civil society and the common
good, and the ability to make the world a better place. If this
interests you, please feel free to contact me to arrange a time
to chat.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Best regards to all,
and happy mapping!</font></p>
