I have brought up an invitation to serve on Open Source Ecology's Board of Directors at the 2013 Open Hardware Summit, and I would like to follow up on this.

	In the immediate future, Open Source Ecology will be appointing 1 or 2 members to its Board. As the ~~leader~~ of the Open Source Hardware Association, you have demonstrated a visible commitment and ethical leadership in furthering the goals of the budding open source hardware movement. Because of your commitment, we are requesting you to give serious consideration to joining our Board. The process would involve our current Board voting on your acceptance. The term of office will be one year, with evaluation after that period, with intent to continue your position pending satisfactory service.

	The next several years promise to be exciting ones for OSE, as we continue the development of the Global Village Construction Set. Last year, we have received our charitable 501(c)3 status from the IRS. This year, we have developed a revenue model for sustaining OSE independent from foundation funding - in the form of our open hardware, Extreme Manufacturing workshops. Our goals for next year include scaling this model by adding a layer of deep immersion training for future developers. This is consistent with our goals of creating a culture of open, collaborative development as an accelerated route to innovation. Our overall goal is to develop a generalized, open source product development methodology that any individual or company can use to solve problems faster than they are created.
