PR: GNOME Foundation Elections - Preliminary ResultsDec 12, 2003, 16:45 (0 Talkback[s])The GNOME Foundation Membership & Elections Committee is pleased to announce the preliminary results for the Board of Directors. Special thanks go to Jonathan Blandford and Greg Leblanc who helped us find and work around some bugs caused by an old perl module. We strongly encourage everyone to look at the detailed results to verify their ballot. You can also run the software used to count the results to verify that these preliminary results are valid. These results can be challenged by sending an e-mail to elections@gnome.org. The challenges have to be sent before Friday, December 19, 2003, 23:59 UTC. Please note that these results should not be considered final until any such challenges have been resolved. Candidates in order of votes received, with affiliations: Owen Taylor (172 votes) - Red Hat Inc. [*] Per the Foundation's charter, no more than 40% of the board directors may share a corporate affiliation. There is 11 directors, so this means that no more than 4 directors may share a corporate affiliation. Michael is the fifth-leading vote-getter from Novell Inc., and is thus ineligible to be elected. If the results are not challenged, then the elected directors will be: Owen Taylor Some figures about the votes: there were 337 registered voters. 191 voters sent valid ballots. Two ballots were invalidated because the voters chose more than eleven candidates. The results can be found at Detailed results can be found at Instructions to verify the results can be found at http://foundation.gnome.org/elections/2003/verify.html The Committee would like to thank all the voters and all the candidates.
