There have been no volunteers yet.

Does anyone have any suggestions as how to best proceed?

I can offer to serve for the first half of 2018.

Since there are no further nominations a vote is not required, and I declare Josef as chair for the first half of 2018.
Thanks for volunteering.

And I wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year.

Robert, thanks for serving two consecutive terms!
A lot has been achieved in that time, most notably the release of 1.7.1.

Regarding the distribution of administration tasks, I would like to propose that
somebody takes over the job of the treasurer. There is not much to do and no need to install any software.
Everything has been set up and only from time to time there is a money transfer needed
from our PayPal account to Edis and, once per year, to the domain name company.
All tasks are accomplished by using web applications such as gmail, PayPal, or Edis.
If several people have knowledge about those tasks, it would make the center more resilient
and less dependent on a single person. For more details there is also a wiki page under
https://wiki.blackboxframework.org/index.php?title=Center_Financial_Management_Guide about the tasks involved.

A happy new year to all center members and BlackBox users.

- Josef

No volunteers yet!
I can volunteer for this position, but with one reservation. I am away for all of July, so can't start until August. We would need someone to cover for July.
