The 2010 &os; core team election was recently completed. The + &os; core team acts as the project's "board of directors" and is + responsible for approving new src committers, resolving disputes + between developers, appointing sub-committees for specific + purposes (security officer, release engineering, port managers, + webmaster, et cetera), and making any other administrative or + policy decisions as needed. The core team has been elected by + &os; developers every 2 years since 2000, and this marks our 6th + democratically elected core team.

+ +

The new core team would like to thank outgoing members Kris + Kennaway, Giorgos Keramidas, George V. Neville-Neil, Murray + Stokely, and Peter Wemm for their service over the past two + (and in some cases, many more) years.

+ +

The core team would also especially like to thank Dag-Erling + Smøgrav for running the election.

+ +

    +
  • John Baldwin
