Guillaume,

thanks for excellent work. Being a treasurer is definitely not an easy job and neither it is the most publicly recognized job, but extremely important one.

The first meeting of the board will be to assign roles to all members of the board, though roles didn't change a lot lately. You may end up president, or secretary, or treasurer, or vice-something. Once on the board, the work to do is mostly administrative, dealing with companies such as banks, insurance, suppliers (for goodies for example), sponsors, venues, etc, making sure contracts are good enough, paying suppliers, dealing with the accountants, bank managers, insurance people. It's also making sure PostgreSQL European events will take place. Obviously PGConf.EU, and the PGDay before FOSDEM, but also PGConf.DE, PGDay Paris, Nordic PGDay. And then, there are a few more things to do, such as preparing and handling the yearly elections, and the General Assembly.
