Changed my mind… just submitted my candidacy for the foundation board. I noticed that the meetings are typically at 20/21h UTC, which works out at 21/22h here, and that suits me fine.
I’m really excited about working on the board although I’m sure it’ll be hard work (and of course I need to get elected first).
The main thing I would like to see is the foundation acting as a central conduit for all of the regional projects that are cropping up, from Bangalore to Chile and Brasil, right through France, Germany and Spain. Those local organisations offer something the foundation doesn’t, geographical proximity and local knowledge, and the foundation can be a central point for all of those organisations to communicate and present their news to a global audience.
