First, let me join Florian in thanking Charles for all his work, not only on the Board of Directors, but also in bringing both LibreOffice and The Document Foundation into existence. I joined the LibreOffice project six months after its birth and can not possibly imagine how frantic the early days have been. > Our statutes foresee in such cases that the first deputy is promoted > to a member of the Board of Directors. > > It is my duty and honour to now ask you, Björn Michaelsen, if you > accept your promotion to being member of Board of Directors of The > Document Foundation, effective November 1st, 2013. I accept the promotion to being a member of the Board of Directors of The Document Foundation and will start my duty as such on November 1st, 2013. As I have not been directly elected into this role -- being elected as a Deputy Member only so far -- it comforts me that I will have to confirm the trust invested in me soon in the upcoming elections.
