[foundation-board] Resignation and thanks

Sun Jul 3 11:20:54 UTC 2011

I am very saddened to hear of your decision. I completely echo Martin's view
that it is vital that we have people with your passion and commitment
guiding the strategic heart of organisations like OKF and I sincerely hope
you will continue in an influential capacity whether on or off the non-exec
board. In the meantime - have a wonderful Summer and a break well earned.

regards
Paula
