From: Christoph Noack on
Hi everyone,

the results of the elections held earlier this month are now available.
Two of the three candidates have been confirmed to represent "you" in
the Community Council. Unfortunately, one member hasn't been confirmed
in his role. But first the detailed results ...

>>> Native Language Confederation Representative

Candidate: Olivier Hallot
Results: 36 Yes, 2 No (116)

>>> Code Contributor Representative

Candidate: Eike Rathke
Results: 57 Yes, 0 No (69)

>>> Product Development Representative

Candidate: Thorsten Behrens
Results: 12 Yes, 28 No (50)


The observers, Sophie Gautier and Drew Jensen have all approved and
confirmed the results. My thanks to them and to Stefan Taxhet, who
managed the voting apparatus that allowed us to vote.

Please join me in welcoming Olivier and Eike! I have no doubt they are
all quite familiar to you, and I and everyone else on the Council, hope
that you will grow more familiar with them and the working of the
Council. The time in the Council gives us the chance to develop a good
relationship.

And this good relationship is also true with regard to Thorsten - we all
know him, respect him, and value his contributions. The constituency of
the "Product Development Representative" just expressed their opinion
that there might be another community member who better fits this role.
My personal thanks to Thorsten for being a candidate!

In the next Community Council meeting it will be decided how to proceed
with regard to the "Product Development Representative". Most likely,
the whole elections for this role will be re-done. Thus, other community
members might consider their nomination.

If you want to know more about the current elections, the underlying
process, or the Community Council - please have a look at:

One last thing: Dear project leads, please forward this mail to your
project members if you think they are interested in. Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Christoph
