He's got my full support, too.  I'm not sure how well the German board is fixed for merit sources, but I'm all for adding them to pretty much any local board.  Plus OP posts in English as well, and that's a plus. 

Anyone have any idea what Theymos's plans are for adding more sources?  I haven't really been paying attention to that recently, nor have I stumbled across any information about it.  It'd be nice if he'd add someone like OP even if his plans weren't to create any more merit sources.  I think OP would do a great job.
