Open Stack

Hello everyone,

The 2015 election of Individual Directors has closed. The raw results are available at the following link:

https://www.bigpulse.com/pollresults?code=4465BagptIqcEjm73VjmEpTk

The full list of 2015 Board Directors is included in alphabetical order below. 

The Director Diversity requirement in the Bylaws, which limits the number of Board members to 2 per company, came into effect this election. As you can see from the raw results linked above, two candidates who finished in the top 8, Monty Taylor and Kyle Mestery, work for the same company (HP). Since Eileen Evans of HP is already on the board as a Platinum Member appointee, only one Individual Member from HP can sit on the Board as an Individual Director.  With a higher number of votes, Monty Taylor will be seated on the 2015 Board. This also means Rob Hirschfeld will be seated as the candidate with the next highest number of votes who would not create a Director Diversity violation per 4.17 (c) in the Bylaws.

The elected and appointed directors will be seated at the first Board meeting of the year at 12:00pm PST on January 28th: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/28Jan2015BoardMeeting

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's Individual Director election and congratulations to our new and returning directors. On a personal note, it was great to see so such a strong list of candidates and such enthusiasm around the Individual Director elections. There are a limited number of Board seats, but there are numerous ways to get involved and show leadership in the community, whether it's through contributions or working groups or speaking opportunities. This is going to be an important year for OpenStack, and I look forward to working with all of you.
