The Elders organization is therefore dissolved. We wish to thank all the latest and previous Elders for whatever time they were able to give over the years, and of course their valuable advice. Secondly, the existing directors of the OpenAFS Foundation are putting out a call to the OpenAFS community for volunteers who wish to join the board. With the non-profit documentation having been filed with the IRS, now is an appropriate time to seek to extend the board. The most important qualifications we are looking for are the available time for participation, passion and interest in moving forward. We're also looking for people who would be able to improve our communications with the community. Volunteers should express their interest by sending a paragraph or two about their interest and qualifications to foundation@openafs.org. This call for volunteers ends Sept 26. Once candidates are discussed by the board they will be put forward to the community for confirmation by general acclimation. Thank you!
