HI Jaakko and HOT Friends, I've written some thoughts about my first year on the HOT Board. Truly, I want to return and keep helping us grow (If you so elect it to be).
As well, I think this is an important time to consider what does HOT need from a Board. I've written some thoughts here: http://textontechs.com/2014/02/on-the-hot-board/ Thank you, Heather Heather Leson [email protected] Twitter: HeatherLeson Blog: textontechs.com On Mon, Feb 10, 2014 at 1:17 AM, Jaakko Helleranta.com < [email protected]> wrote: > Dear voting members and the community at large, > > Nominations for HOT Chair of the voting members and the Board are now open > at > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Team/Board_Elections_2014. > > Please see below notes on the role of the Chair and Board (clipped from > prior announcement). > > As for the schedule, we realized that a week slipped through our fingers > and that we need to push the schedule with one week accordingly so that we > ensure that we have enough time for especially Board nominations and > possible discussions.
