The Foundation Board of Directors is also considering three potential changes to the OpenStack Foundation Bylaws, as a result of the work during the DefCore Committee’s activities. If the proposed amendments are passed at the Board meeting on December 2, they will each be on the ballot in the upcoming election January 12-16, 2015. Read an explanation of the three amendments and the proposed language.
