On behalf of the @members, the @directors would like to thank all the candidates for stepping up for the Director Election April 2024. To stand is not an easy decision to make but it is vital that people do as the space can only exist with the support of members taking up and embracing these roles.

We would also like to thank @Howard for his many contributions to the space.
