Kat and Oscar became board members today at 00 UTC (or UTC+1, unclear).
Jan-Bart will be on the 15th, but given that people are likely to wonder 
about him, it may be best to start working on his bio as soon as possible.
I presume all three will be happy to help provide bio. Jan-Bart does not 
have yet an account (did not at least 4 hours ago) so should get one. 
Meanwhile, the meta bio can be used.

Start with disclaimer

Fundraising pitch is ready. Translation can start. However, I need to 
add the links. Will do tonight or tomorrow morning. I'll keep you 
informed on that.

Continue with information about new board.

As soon as more fundraising data is produced, fundraising becomes top 
priority.

Audited doc to do later. It is long, so it will take time. No need 
exhausting ourselves.
