Re: [board-discuss] Electing a BoD chairperson and it's deputy
Hi, so, the board has elected Florian Effenberger as chairman of the board and Thorsten Behrens as his deputy. we had 6 out of 7 board members voting (making a quorum). Each of the nominees got 5 votes (as Florian and Thorsten abstained to vote on their own seat). To support the decision we also received 2 supporting votes from deputies. See http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/threads.html#02188 I'll update the website accordingly. Congratulations to Florian and Thorsten ;) regards, André Original-Nachricht Datum: Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:55:51 +0100 Von: André Schnabel andre.schna...@gmx.net An: board-discuss@documentfoundation.org Betreff: [board-discuss] Electing a BoD chairperson and it\'s deputy -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dear Board members, according to the current draft of the foundation's legal statutes (as proposed to the German authorities), the foundation's board shall elect a chairperson and the chairperson's deputy among the board's members. In short - these will be the primary legal representatives of the foundation. While having no special power, legal contracts need to be signed by one of the board members together with either the chairperson or it's deputy. ( Beyond that, the board can decide to give procuration to individual board members.) As we are going to file the papers really soon, I'd ask the board members to elect Florian Effenberger as chairman of the board and Thorsten Behrens as his deputy. During the board elections Florian and Thorsten were the candidates who reached the highest vote rank. Florian is for sure one of our most active members doing great work in marketing, is coordinating our admin team and did lots of preparations for the legal setup of the foundation. Thorsten is well known and accepted among developers (and not only there ;) ), and also helped a lot preparing the legal setup of the foundation. I think, my suggestions in the interest of the board members and all our TDF members. (If not, time to object is right now ;) ) Thanks and regards, André -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJO1823AAoJED/K41EyZ3hDhU8IAJgIe70Ibg9bz7bLdXNmQbI9 kms99OOtBlflE2bgzfBA2fnnzlX5htE+EL0+7iK5/hAVOj741woDr59iDuFZrCF2 LyIYjN0EUVbCTilrS5NcvIyatQRCIQBeEFEvj2OohKNJ/J1UsU2g7lV2knAkr3yx m+EfG5aXvtKIJl586ZeLACXeefKc0f8LDk6NmZwmL2+svwZXbhBPNPoWenXD1gTm JAAgmcg8xmN9AbladBgQ07KkovNj92l4mjWxaSceAirQAnuDxP6xsABdwMISIwYa 5lpmX9HeZNtvDB1qjVOiNnljqfXZCXC/FMfrmD4YV1vDalM6mvNQfx6Ut9dfsco= =uzos -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to board-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to board-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Hi *, so let me take this opportunity to thank you all for trusting us in this - not only the board, but also all our members who originally voted for us. You folks really make the difference, and I'm both honoured humbled - with those last pieces falling into place, let's see to get this foundation from bootstrapping into establishment then. Looking forward to another exciting year with all of you, -- Thorsten -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to board-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Hi, Italo Vignoli wrote on 2011-12-06 01:47: Guys, congratulations. I think we should at least blog about this announcement. I volunteer, but I cannot write anything before mid week. thanks! Indeed, we could also announce the other results in case we haven't blogged them yet (not sure). I probably shouldn't do it in the official blog, since I was elected, that would look rather odd. :-) Florian -- Florian Effenberger flo...@documentfoundation.org Board of Directors at The Document Foundation Tel: +49 8341 99660880 | Mobile: +49 151 14424108 Skype: floeff | Twitter/Identi.ca: @floeff -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to board-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [board-discuss] Wiki: Organization vs CommunityBylaws
Hi, Lionel Elie Mamane wrote on 2011-11-30 05:57: The wiki pages Organization and CommunityBylaws seem to say approximately the same thing, but Organization seems outdated. For example it says Currently there is no Board of Directors installed. The work is currently done by the Steering Commitee., which AFAIK is not true anymore. thanks a lot for that feedback. Indeed, those pages are - at least partially - a bit outdated, and as soon as we have the legal entity set-up an the final, binding statutes ready, we should update them. I have added a note stating that on these pages. Thanks for spotting this!
