Introduction

This page presents the elections of the Board of Directors at the Open Food Facts Association - General Assembly - 2023.

Article 13 of the Open Food Facts Association Statutes provides:

  • "The association is managed by a board of 5 to 10 members. They are responsible for the legal personality of the association. The board of directors implements the orientations decided by the general assembly. [...]"
  • "The members of the board of directors are elected for two years by the general assembly. Half of the Board of Directors is renewed each year, and in the first year the outgoing members are chosen by lot. [...]"

The Board of Directors currently comprises 9 members:

  • 4 elected at the general assembly of 2022 : Marie Fache, Éloïse Langer, Anca Luca, Sébastien Gathier
  • 5 elected at the general assembly of 2021 : Christian Quest, Florence Devouard, Léonore Wilhelm, Ludovic Dubost et Vincent Bataille.

6 director positions are therefore potentially open.

Members of the Open Food Facts association can submit their candidacy for the Board of Directors up to and including September 25, 2023, by sending their first and last names, Open Food Facts username and a short text introducing themselves and their motivation to contact@openfoodfacts.org.

List of candidates

  • Alexandre Fauquette (alexfauquette)
After several years as a dev on hunger-games, I'd be delighted to take part in the association's development in ways other than code.
  • Christian Quest (cquest)
Administrator for several years, I also co-administer the servers (OVH and Free). For the past two years, I've been helping to develop Open Food Facts' technical infrastructure in anticipation of the project's growth. As a former board member of OpenStreetMap France, I enjoy building bridges between open projects.
  • Florence Devouard (anthere)
Already four years as the association's administrator and happy to see its evolution. Still interested in continuing to help the permanent team by sharing ideas and experience.
  • Ludovic Dubost (ldubost)
Board member since 2019. Still interested in bringing my experience to the association, particularly on business management and financing. For the sake of transparency, I'm in a relationship with the association's current president Anca Luca.
  • Léonore Wilhelm (moon-rabbit)
Administrator for 4 years, and active member for 6 years. Motivated to continue my contribution to the association, especially on taxonomies and as an administrator.
  • Vincent Bataille (tacinte)
A member of the association since its foundation, I remain a regular contributor 10 years on. I'm still interested in joining the team of administrators.
