Turn over in the Drupal association board and general assembly

Apr 29

by Amazon

A few weeks ago a community member raised concern on the consulting list about turn over in the Drupal association, or rather the lack of it. Since this information is often public, but hard to track down, I thought I'd shed some light.

Ten people have rotated on and off the board of the Drupal
association. Only four original board members are still present.
The board has two new members as of 2009 for the Drupal association, who were not previously permanent members of the association: Tiffany Farriss and Cary Gordon.

The association has 30 permanent members up from 15 elected permanent members in it's first year.

  • 2006 - Zack, Moshe, Boris left the board and are still General assembly members. Steven Wittens and Dries Knapen were on the original board and have since resigned from the Drupal association.
  • 2007 - Jeff Eaton, Bert Boerland were on the second board but are now members of the General Assembly.

Current directors from the original board: Dries has been re-elected as president. Gerhard has remained manager of infrastructure. Kieran has changed from fund raiser to business development. Angela has changed from director to Secretary. Four of the original nine directors are still on the board.

    Clarification

    Re: "Zack, Moshe, Boris". All three are still in the General Assembly as we speak. The wording above may be confused into thinking that they left like Steven Wittens and Dries Knappen.

    Steven Wittens left the General Assembly and the Board in 2007.

    Dries Knappen remained on the board until end of 2008, and resigned in our last General Assembly.

    The email thread that Kieran refers to on the consulting mailing list can be read here.
