thanks to all who elected me to the new 2008-2009 term on the OGB.

i have the dubious honour of being the only non-Sun employee on the board. i hope that won’t play into my role or responsibilities, but it’ll certainly be interesting to see whether that has any influence on the dynamic at all.

i’m glad to see that we have some continuity with alanc, gman, and myself carrying through. i’m also happy to see some higher-level Sun representation with webmink on the board as well. i think plocher will bring some great knowledge and thoughts to the board. i value all the community experience that jimgris has, and i’m glad he’s finally on the board (he was the first runner-up last year), and having the ON tech lead, jbeck can only be good.

plus jbeck don’t take shit from no one.

update: I’ve gotten a number of congratulations from various people, but so far this one takes the cake:

<me>: i can’t believe i was elected again
<friend>: Oh, it makes sense that you were elected, but not that you ran!
