Welcome to our newest board member

For the benefit of those not subscribed to foundation-list and foundation-announce, I’d like to make a board announcement on here:

When Luis announced to the board that he wanted to resign a couple of weeks ago, the board discussed our options – referendum or co-option. We felt that co-opting a new member onto the board, on the basis of the election results last December, was the best way to select the newest member of the board. Our decision was made easy by the fact that since the election, this person has gone on to become a heavyweight in the GNOME community in very short order.

So without further ado, I’d like to announce that the board has decided to co-opt Quim Gil onto the board into the vacant position left by Luis Villa, effective immediately. We’re all sorry to see Luis leave the board, but I have a feeling that this means we’ll be hearing even more from him in the future. I’d like to wish him all the best in his budding legal career.
