Congratulations to those elected.
I am pleased to add my personal support to this new venture although it is unlikely that this will turn in to much more than peanut gallery stuff (I'm a crack shot with those things sometimes).
However, In my day job I manage OSS Watch, the UK Innovation Support Centre for open source in Higher and Further Education. We are based at the Univerity of Oxford and funded by the Joint Information System Committee (JISC).
As the objectives of the foundation are firmed up I will be looking on to see how we can best build a symbiotic relationshp.
The first point of call will be with respect to the conference proposal. At the very least we can get any University owned venues at a discounted rate - but I'm sure we can do more than that for you.
