[Osmf-talk] Upcoming board elections

[Simon Poole]

I'm fairly sure the undisputed nature of this election is due to only
two places being available (I believe this is the first time) and both
incumbents, both fairly non-controversial, standing for re-election.
Assuming nothing extraordinary happens, it is likely to be the same next
year too. 

Rather boring, but there doesn't seem to be anybody campaigning for
fundamental changes in course for the OSMF (not saying that that is
necessary) that you build a candidacy on,  so the whole thing seems to
be very much stacked against new faces.
