Today, I was notified that I won the general assembly elections. This came quite as a surprise, but I am glad the election worked out that well for me. I would like to thank everyone who voted for me or gave me a high ranking. I also would like to thank the other candidates for their candidacy and for their fair election campaign.
Right after I was declared winner, people from inside FSFE contacted me to make travel arrangements to the GA that already meets June 19th-21st. After this was dealt with, I was bombarded with new information. It was almost an information overload. The other candidates and several other people congratualted me. FSFE’s president Georg Greve welcomed me as well and send me many long Emails explaining me my new position, introducing me in the GA and FSFE’s European core team. He also gave me a lot of administrative explanations and bounced recent Emails that gave me some first information about what will actually happen in the GA meeting.
Now, I will have to catch up with all the information and follow Georg’s instructions for becoming a full GA and core team member. This is quite some work and will keep me busy for a while. Nontheless, I still encourage questions :P
Congratulations with your new position, I hope you will use your position and vote to open up FSFE for a more radical democratization than what we’ve seen so far.
