[foundation-board] Leaving the OKFN board

Wed Aug 15 09:00:28 UTC 2012

Sorry to hear you are going Jordan! As an organisation we've been
lucky to have your energy and attention to detail - not to mention
your sense of humour - on the board.

All I can say is that I hope that you leaving the board doesn't mean
we'll see less of you. In particular, if you wanted to talk about Open
Data Commons at any point - it would be great to have an excuse to
catch up! :-)

Very best,

Jonathan

After over 8 years of non-profit work on open licensing issues, first with CC Scotland and then with Open Data Commons and then the past 3 years with the OKFN, it's been quite a fun and enjoyable ride. As the OKFN has scaled, so has my work and home commitments, and so it is with some sadness that I must move on from my role as a board member.
