The Fedora Board consists of five elected seats and four appointed seats. In this elections cycle, there will be two openings for appointed Board seats and two openings for elected Board seats. As part of the normal Board succession process[0], one Board appointment is made before Board elections and the other is made after the election cycle has ended. I'm happy to announce that Toshio Kuratomi has agreed to serve in his appointed Board seat for another term. He has served well for the past year, and I look forward to serving with him in the year to come. Toshio currently serves in seat A1 (see the Board History[1] for a list of the seats). I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have served on either the Board or the various steering committees. You help make the world of free and open source software better with your service. Elections for the Fedora Board, FAmSCo, and FESCo will begin on November 23rd at UTC 0001, as shown on the Fedora wiki's Elections page[2]. All community members are encouraged to cast their vote until the elections close at the end of the day (UTC time) on December 5th. Within a week or two of the end of elections, another appointment will be made for the remaining Board seat (seat A2). If you are interested in serving on the Fedora Board, please don't hesitate to contact me directly to indicate your willingness.
