[maemo-developers] Elections - vote soon!

[From: Dave Neary]

Hi all,

I've permitted myself a cross-post since I know many of the people
elligible to vote in the Maemo community elections that are on now are
not on the community list, where these things get discussed.

The Maemo Community Council elections for Spring 2009 will finish at
23:59 UTC Thursday the 19th of March.

As of a couple of hours ago, 138 people of 717 voters have cast their
ballot. For the council to have legitimacy, it's important that as many
people as possible vote in the election.

For those of you who haven't followed the election, the list of
candidates, plus their reasons for running and goals for the council,
are in the wiki:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Community_Council/Candidate_declarations_for_March_2009

There are 9 candidates running for 5 available council spots.

Having worked with the council a lot over the last 6 months, I believe
they have a valuable role to play in the community.

If any of you meet the minimum requirements for a vote (25 karma as of
last Tuesday, and a Maemo account since before last December 19th) and
you have not received a voting token as described in Tim Samoff's recent
blog on the issue, please drop me an email quickly & we'll get it sorted
out:

Thanks!
Dave.
