Last month, Vishvananda Ishaya resigned as an Individual Director on the Board. Under the bylaws, the remaining Individual Directors have the right to appoint another individual to serve out Vish's term for the remainder of 2015. Section 4.2 of the bylaws provides: "In the case of the death, resignation or removal of any Individual Director (except for removal under Section 4.17), the vacancy may be filled by a majority vote of the remaining Individual Directors.” Last Thursday during a phone meeting, the Individual Directors selected Shane Wang to fill the open seat.

25 Jun '15

Dear Board of Directors, We’re putting together the committee for the Tokyo Summit Travel Support Program <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Travel_Support_Program>, which opened yesterday, and we are looking for 3 board members to join. Every year we have 3 members from the Board of Directors, Technical Committee, User Committee, Ambassadors and Foundation staff. For the previous Summit we had Alan Clark, Russell Bryant and Steve Hallett serve as committee members from the Board and we’re looking for three new individuals to join us this year. A big thank you to them! We were able to fund the accommodation and flight costs of 28 key contributors (some of whom are gathered in this photo <https://www.dropbox.com/s/ebsdii1nqns0fat/Travel%20Support%20Program%20Reci…>). Applications will close August 10 and the Travel Committee will have from August 11 - 25 to submit their votes. If you are available sometime during this timeframe (August 11-25) for approximately 2-4 hours and are interested in being part of the Travel Support Committee, please let me know by end of next week. The first three individuals who reply will be selected. FYI - the option to fund the travel support program is also available as a sponsorship option <https://www.openstack.org/summit/tokyo-2015/sponsors/>. If interested please contact summit(a)openstack.org. Thanks! Shari Shari Mahrdt OpenStack Marketing shari(a)openstack.org <mailto:shari@openstack.org>
