98 votes is an alarmingly low turnout - how can candidates feel any sort of mandate with that level of support? Don't leave us all hanging folks - get on the browser and VOTE.
Or I'll have to send my invisible ninja teams out to punish you. They'll (not)appear just as you drift off to sleep. They'll tickle you with such art that you think you're in paradise. And then they'll stop; you'll spend the rest of your life desperately hoping to be tickled that way again. Is it worth such anguish to avoid voting? I think not. tim -- tim Rowledge; [hidden email]; http://www.rowledge.org/tim Useful random insult:- Several nuts over fruitcake minimum. |

Hi All,
At the risk of annoying 100 people that have voted. I'm considering sending out the ballots again. The email will not let you vote again (if you try you will get a message that you already voted) but it will be a good reminder for those who haven't voted to vote. Thoughts?

Ron,

The problem isn't annoying people, but confusing them. A second ballot that doesn't work will get you lots of questions by people who aren't paying enough attention. Didn't you set the deadline as February 8th? That is still over a week away and we are already pretty close to the historical turnout rate. I think more reminders here on squeak-dev closer to the deadline would be good enough. About the candidates, I would like to say that it was a really great list and I would love to have any one of them on the Board. Thank you for all who decided to run and thanks to Ron for doing the election this year. I didn't run this year since I am six months behind in my PhD project, but look forward to being able to run next year. -- Jecel |

It's not that I'm apathetic, I just figure you quays are doing a great job and you know better than I do who you want to include on the team. If I vote, I may just screw things up. Can I vote to abstain? Sincerely, Joe.

Hi Joe,
It's a very good point. Last time I handled an election I had everyone answer questions. I didn't do it this time (for a number of reasons). Maybe next election we will add a week between declaring candidates and voting so that we can have a more formal campaign period.

I think getting just one ballot is better. Simple and clean.
