<h1>Directors</h1>
<p>Like many non-profits, Conservancy is directed by a
self-perpetuating Board of Directors, who
appoint the <a href="/about/staff/">Executive Director and staff</a> to carry out the
day-to-day operations of the organization. The Directorship of the
Conservancy includes both talented non-profit managers and experienced
FLOSS project leaders who can both guide the administrative operations of
the organization as well as mentor member project leaders as needed. Our
Directors constantly search for additional directors who can contribute a
variety of expertise and perspective related to the Conservancy's
mission.</p>
<p>Currently, the directors of Conservancy are:</p>

from Los Alamos (where he was previously in the ISR division and the
Theoretical Astrophysics group) to work for Cygnus (now a part of Red Hat)
writing software and books for eCos, although he continued working on the
HETE-2 satellite (an astrophysical Gamma Ray Burst mission) part
time. Mark earned his BA in Physics at Reed College and a PhD from the
