The membership nomination and election process is now complete, and the following community members have been selected as additional voting members of the foundation. We would like to stress that while the foundation needs a voting membership in order to insure a board is selected that is reasonably representative of the broad community, in essentially all other ways anyone can contribute equally in the work of the foundation. As the FAQ says:

"A non-voting (i.e. associate) member can do everything a voting member can do, except vote in board elections. They can be members of committees and vote on them. They can speak up, and contribute in every other way. The foundation aims to be a do-acracy, and so the way to have influence is to do things! Ultimately, of course, the foundation will only succeed in its mission if the entire community gets involved -- so please don't hesitate! We need your help!"
