Serdar Basegmez - Developi Information Systems

I have been working on Lotus Software since 1999 and running my own business for more than a decade. My company, Developi Information Systems, provides a number of professional services mostly around IBM Collaboration Solutions. Beyond the business, I have always advocated the core technology by active participation into the community. As an IBM Champion, I have started the Turkish LUG, my bilingual blog site (lotusnotus.com), written articles for 'The View' magazine, presented in several conferences including IBM Connect 2013-2014 and contributed a number of open source projects such as XSnippets and CollaborationToday.For two years, I have been an OpenNTF Board member. We have always been the center of gravity for the developer community around ICS products. And as many of you noticed, OpenNTF is in the middle of a transformation. We are extending our organization with new capabilities to raise the value of our technology and the community around us. This is going to be difficult but equally exciting for all. I am nominating myself because I believe I have the experience and the passion for a change.

Jesse Gallagher – I Know Some Guys

I’m interested in running for one of the Contributor Director positions. I’ve been very excited about the changes over the last year and am further excited about the hints at future improvements I’ve seen; I’d like to do what I can to help make that happen. I want to assist in improving OpenNTF's procedures and infrastructure to bring it more into the realm of other significant open-source communities.

Christian Guedemann - WebGate

My first year as chairman of OpenNTF is almost over. The year was full of new ideas paired with an active board. It was a pleasure to work on several projects, meet contributors, vendors and influencers to make OpenNTF more popular than ever. But we are also in the middle of a transformation and it's no question that I want to remain onboard and steer the "OpenNTF ship" as captain thru this transformation. We have a lot of brilliant plans for more and better support to the community. You can read more of this in Justin Hills statement. I'm very proud that Justin has made it happen that we can use some of the Atlassian products. They are key for the processes that we want to integrate to OpenNTF. Always in focus that contributors can contribute high value software via OpenNTF to the community.

Justin Hill – Prominic

In my role at Prominic.NET, I have been actively involved in the infrastructure of OpenNTF for many years. Just recently, I have successfully negotiated with Atlassian so that OpenNTF will now have full access to JIRA, Confluence, and Bamboo products. This project alone is going to be a significant enhancement to OpenNTF's infrastructure. While of course Prominic will always assist even if we are not on the board, given our role in the hosting of the current environment and expansion into the new Atlassian products, I think it makes sense for me and my team to remain active on the board. This includes key members of Prominic such as Doug Robinson and Dinu Zabrauteanu who effectively support Prominic's role in OpenNTF with me. Finally, I think it best that there be some continuity in leadership over the years. There has been a fair amount of change in this election cycle and Prominic desires to lend continuity to OpenNTF's continued success, evolving board, and increased direction toward spearheading Domino forward with a more active and empowered community.

Devin Olson - Czarnowski

After 17 years of working with IBM Collaborative Software technology as a Business Partner, Open Source Contributor, and IBM Customer; I believe I can bring a fresh perspective to the OpenNTF Board by representing the interests of an IBM Customer.

Martin Rolph - Oval

I'm passionate about Domino and have been following OpenNTF since the original discussion on Notes.net many moons ago. Last year I rewrote and redesigned the front end of OpenNTF but that always felt like a small part of what could be done and what I could offer. I got lots more ideas for the site and as a board member I know I could commit the time to make them happen.
