[NOTICE] Nominations open for SPI board members (2022-2025)

[Tim Potter]

This is a notice about the upcoming elections for the SPI Board of
Directors. The directors are the lifeblood of the organization and are
responsible for the smooth running of the affairs and business of the
SPI. Please contact secretary at spi-inc.org if you would like to
nominate yourself for one of these important positions.

This year there are five (5) positions on the SPI board of directors that
have become vacant.

The ideal candidate will have an existing involvement in the Free and
Open Source community, though this need not be with a project
affiliated with SPI.

Please do take the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about
SPI board membership on the spi-general mailing list before the formal
nomination period opens.  You can also find various board members
present on #spi on irc.spi-inc.org (OFTC).

The formal nomination period will open on Wednesday June 22nd 2022 and
run for one week. An election, if required, will occur via secret
ballot of SPI contributing members between Wednesday July 6th and
Tuesday 12th of July. The results will be announced shortly
thereafter.
