[Osmf-talk] AGM at SOTM; board elections?

Tue Jun 1 11:29:43 UTC 2010

And I can confirm I will not be standing for re-election, so there will be
two new faces on the board this year. I've held a position on the board for
the last three years I made it clear last year that I would therefore stand
down at the next AGM.

Cheers

Andy
