[sudo-discuss] [consensus] Nominations for Board of Directors

[Anca Mosoiu]

Thanks for the nomination, Eddan.

I tentatively accept.

I know I haven't spent a lot of time at the sudo room, but I think it's
really important that this type of space continues to exist here in
Oakland, and will be there in the time of need.

Anca.
