The Fedora Board consists of five elected seats and four appointed seats. In this elections cycle, there were two openings for appointed Board seats and three opening for elected Board seats. As part of the normal Board succession process[0], one Board appointment is made before Board elections and the other is made after the election cycle.
I'm happy to announce that I've appointed Ruediger "Rudi" Landmann to serve in seat A3 on the Fedora Board for a full one-year cycle. (See the Board History[1] page on the wiki for a list of the various Board seats.) Rudi has been active on the Fedora Documentation team, and maintains several documentation-related packages in Fedora. Please join with me in welcoming Rudi to the Fedora Board.
I'd also like to once again publicly thank those individuals who have previously served on the Fedora Board for their help and their unique insight. I'd have a much harder job as the Fedora Project Leader if it weren't for the great individuals that volunteer to serve our community.
