From: "Charles-H. Schulz" on
Hello everyone,

I would like to thank both Jan and Frank for nominating candidates.
I think we have two perfectly legitimate candidates for the elections
of the Product Development Representative.

May the best of the two win!

Hi all!

This is a little reminder that the Community Council Election
"Nomination Phase" is open till 2010-06-15, 24:00 UTC. So, if you know
someone who might be a good choice to represent the community in terms
of a "Product Development", then please don't hesitate to nominate this
person. It is about us all! More details in the mail below ...

Project leads, please remember to forward this information to your
project members (if you think this is beneficial). Thank you!

Kind regards,
Christoph
