Our elections coordinator Nigel Jones has set up the balloting for the Fedora Board, FESCo, and FAMSCo. On every ballot are fantastic individuals who are willing to give extra time and energy to Fedora to try to improve the project for their fellow contributors. Good luck to everyone on the ballots, and thanks for your willingness to help!
Voting is open until 2359 UTC 2008-12-20. Go cast your votes today! |
The drink of astronauts, not the “Alias” bad guy.I just realized that I’d made a mistake on the FUDCon page in our location at MIT. Our classrooms are not going to be located in the Sloan Building, but rather in the Tang Center, building E51. Sorry for the mix-up — and the FUDCon wiki page has been fixed accordingly. The Tang Center and the Sloan Building are actually next to each other on the map. |
Revenge of balloon-head.FUDCon news.Another sign that one shouldn’t spend a lot of time emailing large groups of people while on decongestants: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2008-December/msg00000.html Long and short is, though, that FUDCon F11 is in full swing, and coming up January 9-11 in Boston. All the important details are on the wiki, and you don’t even need an account to pre-register on that page. Board news.Tempting fate, though, I pressed on today to announce that Christopher Aillon is returning to the Fedora Board. Two seats remain for community election, and a final seat for appointment. I’m looking forward to the elections, because every single one of the nominees standing for election is a solid contender with a wealth of experience, but there is a diversity of backgrounds, which I hope the community considers when they cast votes. Blearrgh.And with that, I’m going offline for a bit. I’ve felt like the proverbial dog dookie for a couple days now — some sort of sinus thing that I just want to sleep off in the comfiest and most isolated manner possible. And since I’m meeting Greg in Richmond tomorrow afternoon I need to have a spring in my step. Because keeping up with him is perilous, perilous work. |
Nominations still open.In a little under a week, the combined Fedora elections will be held for the Board and other groups as well such as FESCo. Nominations are open through Wednesday, 3 December. You can visit the main elections page, which links to the group specific pages where you can nominate yourself or someone else. We are still looking for moderators for the IRC town hall discussion meetings where you can meet the candidates and ask them questions. We are holding these meetings to specifically address suggestions from contributors that they wanted to make a more informed choice from among the candidates for the various posts. I hope you’ll take advantage of this opportunity to get to know your fellow contributors and find out where they stand on the issues that matter to you. |
