[Osmf-talk] 2023 Board election - Submission of self-nominations is open

[Mateusz Konieczny]

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/AGM2023/Election_to_Board

has 3 seats available for reelection
2 people will try to be reelected, third person is ineligible

right now only two people nominated themself

I want to encourage eligible people who want to help OpenStreetMap
by being on OSMF board to self-nominate.

Note that you do not need to be best possible candidate - 
candidate better than alternative is already highly helpful.

And currently you only need to be better than worst possible
eligible candidate, as we have three free seats and two candidates,
so if only one person will self-nominate then all three will pass.

Feel free to ask me about OSMF board, especially if you are 
potential candidate that can-self nominate and passes requirements
(best via OSM PM at
https://www.openstreetmap.org/message/new/Mateusz%20Konieczny ).

Self-nomination will close on 2023-10-21, at 23:59 UTC. 
PS And yes, if you know that you want to be candidate it is better to
not wait till last possible moment.
For start procedural mess caused by last-minute edit conflicts at OSM Wiki
with some edits finalized after deadline will help noone.
Also, OSM Wiki account is a separate account from OSM account.
