The community also elected Bryen Yunashko and Henne Vogelsang. The new chairman appointed by Novell is Michael Loeffler, who is employed by Novell as the OpenSUSE product manager. The new board members aim to encourage growth of the community and hope to increase the technical involvement of community members by lowering the barriers to entry. We asked several of the board members to share with us their goals for the coming year. Their preliminary plans look promising and could help accelerate the advancement of OpenSUSE.
