Call for candidates for individual directors
by Tim Bell 24 Nov '15

24 Nov '15

I don't recall the notifications on the individual directors call for candidates being sent out. The nominations appear to be open (https://www.openstack.org/election/2016-individual-director-election/) since November 23rd but I think a bit more publicity is needed to get the maximum community coverage. There are a couple of glitches in the web pages also - In the candidate application (https://www.openstack.org/profile/CandidateApplication/) the last question refers to the priorities in 2015. I think this should be 2016. - In https://www.openstack.org/profile/election, the "See The Current Nominations" links to the 2015 candidates page rather than https://www.openstack.org/election/2016-individual-director-election/Candida teList/ - In prior years, an email was sent when people nominated you. These do not seem to be going out at the moment. Tim

DreamHost Board Member Change
by Simon Anderson 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

OpenStack Board colleagues and Gold members, After 4.5 years with DreamHost as CEO, the DreamHost Board and I are agreeing that I will step down as CEO effective November 25, 2015. It's been a fantastic 4+ years in the role, and I have so appreciated being a part of forming the OpenStack Foundation, representing Gold members on the Board, and collaborating with the community and each of you to build OpenStack into what it is today. I will still be very involved in OpenStack as a community member and through Akanda, the major contributor to the OpenStack Astara network virtualization and services orchestration project. As many of you know I co-founded Akanda in 2014 and Chair the Board, as well as being an investor. The DreamHost Board has nominated Jonathan LaCour, VP Cloud at DreamHost, as my replacement Gold member Director. Jonathan is copied on this email and will engage directly with Gold members and the Board from this point on and I am sure you will find him a great successor to yours truly. Thanks again for all the great times, debates, big ideas and teamwork. There will be many more together! My personal email is simonkanderson(a)gmail.com and my cell is 310-600-1452. Feel free to reach out anytime, and see you at a future OpenStack event. Best, Simon Anderson CEO, DreamHost

Start prepping for the year end report; content ready by December 10
by AlanClark 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

Directors and Committee Chairs, It was great to see everyone at the Summit. The week sure went by quickly. A big thank you to everyone for helping with the board meeting! I wanted to give everyone a quick heads up. Please start thinking about content for the year end report. I would like to have gathered the content from the Board by December 10. I feel that last years report [1] turned out great and propose a similar format for this years report. If you have thoughts on format changes or additional content that we should include please let me know. I will set up a wiki page where we can post the content and send another email to each of the committee chairs. Thanks, AlanClark [1] https://www.openstack.org/assets/reports/osf-annual-report-2014.pdf

#WeAreOpenStack
by Allison Price 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

Hi everyone, At the OpenStack Summit Tokyo, we are kicking off a social media initiative to promote diversity and inclusivity within the OpenStack community. This idea was developed by the Women of OpenStack, and we encourage everyone in the community, even if you aren’t able to attend the Summit, to join in! To participate, use the hashtag #WeAreOpenStack on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram to show what the OpenStack community means to you. Posts can include pictures of you with fellow community members or your perspective of being a part of the community. The OpenStack Summit Tokyo is simply going to be the launch of this hashtag, but after the Summit, continue to use the hashtag at different OpenStack events, including OpenStack Days, meetups and even day-to-day activities with your fellow Stackers. Cheers, Allison
