<p class="MsoNormal">Team,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am gladly informing you that the BoD has just approved our proposal to change the OpenStack Bylaws:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QmLOeseAkjBWM_TXsUeKBErNaSHnuZp81II0T71ARfo/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QmLOeseAkjBWM_TXsUeKBErNaSHnuZp81II0T71ARfo/edit?usp=sharing</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is a huge step to bring the visibility and empowerment that we were looking to have from the OpenStack User perspective.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I want to thank you all! You made this possible because of your support, guidance and motivation.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have a lot of more work to do but for today we can take a break and celebrate.</p>
