In an effort to maintain the Board's effectiveness during its search for a new Treasurer, the Board of Open Source Matters Inc (OSM), on the 10th of August 2010, appointed Steve Burge as Acting Treasurer of the organisation, for a period ending no later than November 1, 2010 or until a new Treasurer has been elected, appointed or qualified, whichever comes first.

The Acting Treasurer shall have all the abilities and privileges of the Treasurer, but is only expected to provide his services in a limited role during this interim period.

The OSM board wishes to express thanks to Steve for assisting in this important role.
