Applications will close February 9 and the Travel Committee will have from February 10-23 to submit their votes. If you are available sometime during this timeframe (February 10-23) 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.

DefCore "does OpenStack require Linux guest" pre-reading
by Rob Hirschfeld 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

Board Members, We have some OpenStack DefCore discussion planned tomorrow. We've prepared a summary with some alternatives for you. Happily, they include some short term items that we will review during the meeting. We will likely not have time to consider the longer term actions that we've also been discussing in DefCore meetings. I'm attaching the document for your convencience (as of 8:00 pm Central); however, the most current version is online at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q_N93hJ-8WK4C3Ktcrex0mxv4VqoAjBzP9g6cDe… Egle and I discussed how to best present this topic and would like to do the following: 3 minutes > ask Board to individually write down short "what is Interop" for OpenStack 7 minutes > volunteers read samples 10 minutes > present issue and short term options (Board action not required for short term action) 20 minutes > time bound discussion Rob ____________________________ Rob Hirschfeld, 512-773-7522 RackN CEO/Founder (rob(a)rackn.com) I am in CENTRAL (-6) time http://robhirschfeld.com twitter: @zehicle, github: zehicle

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 10 Nov '15

10 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
