The Member Directors have been returned for another two years:

Serdar Basegmez, Developi Information Systems
Adam Foster, Oval
Jesse Gallagher, I Know Some Guys
Christian Güdemann, Webgate
Douglas Robinson, Prominic

They join the other Member Directors who still have one year left of their term:

Martin Donnelly - IBM
Paul Withers - Intec Systems Ltd
Oliver Busse -  We4IT
Nathan T Freeman - Red Pill Now

Two of the Contributor Directors chose to stand again:

Nina Wittich
Fredrik Norling

Padraic Edwards chose not to stand and we thank him for his work on the board. To replace him we have Graham Acres of Brytek Systems Inc., IBM Champion and member of the Cross Canada Collaboration User Group. With Domino V10 just around the corner, now is an exciting time.

This week it's ICON UK in Birmingham, UK. OpenNTF will again be in attendance. In addition we will again be sponsoring the beer (and other drinks) at SpeedSponsoring on Thursday 13th at 5pm. With Domino V10 just around the corner and Connections Customiser available for a year, now is a great time to get involved in open source as a contributor or consumer, providing code, reviews, documentation, or verification on current software versions / platforms. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved and put open source at the heart of ICS. So if you're interested in learning more about how you can get involved or what we're involved in, talk to one of the board members at ICON UK.
