Board election results.

(Apologies for this being late — the announcement isn’t news now, but at least some of the follow-up is fresh.) As seen here and here: Tom “spot” Callaway, Jesse Keating, and Seth Vidal have been elected to full two-release terms on the Fedora Project Board. Jef Spaleta has been re-elected …
