OpenSFS Board Nomination Opportunity
by OpenSFS Administration
Members of the OpenSFS Community -
The OpenSFS Nominating Committee (ONC) would like to solicit your help with
the election of OpenSFS Board Members. The actual election takes place
during and in advance of this year's Lustre User Group (LUG) meeting. The
ONC is charged with formally nominating candidates for each Board position
two months prior to the actual election.
We are looking to identify OpenSFS members who are interested in filling any
of the five open Board positions. These positions and their terms are
described below. Board Members must be OpenSFS members (or be affiliated
with a member). This is your chance to make a difference with OpenSFS
and/or to let us know of other qualified individuals that are interested.
And if you aren't a member, and want a shot at being on the Board,
membership is cheap!
Board Positions are (from the OpenSFS bylaws):

however, to the control of the Board. The President shall, if present,

general, the President shall perform all the duties incident to the office
of the chief executive officer of a corporation and such other duties as are
provided for by these Bylaws and as from time to time may be assigned to the
President by the Board.
