From: [email protected] (Russell Steinthal) Subject: Preliminary results of 2001 GNOME Foundation Board Elections Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2001 23:32:13 -0500 All: On behalf of the GNOME Foundation Membership & Elections Committee, I am pleased to announce the following preliminary results from the election for the Board of Directors. Any challenges to these results must be received by the committee by e-mail to [email protected] by 23:59 UTC (18:59 EST), Tuesday, December 4, 2001, and the results should not be considered final until any such challenges have been resolved. After several malformatted ballots were corrected, 251 of 420 eligible voters were determined to have cast valid ballots. In addition, two ballots were invalidated for over-voting (12 candidates each) and two ballots were rejected due to incorrect or missing voter authentication information. Candidates in order of votes received, with affiliations: 1. Havoc Pennington (215 votes) (Red Hat) 2. Miguel de Icaza (191) (Ximian) 3. Daniel Veillard (189) (Red Hat) 4. Jim Gettys (182) (Compaq) 5. Jody Goldberg (153) (Ximian) 6. Nat Friedman (146) (Ximian) 7. Jonathan Blandford (142) (Red Hat) 8. Telsa Gwynne (139) (none) Federico Mena-Quintero (139) (Ximian) 10. Michael Meeks (130) (Ximian) [*] 11. James Henstridge (125 votes) (none)[**] George Lebl (125 votes) (none) (the following candidates were not elected) 13. Glynn Foster (116) (Sun Microsystems) 14. Tim Ney (112) (GNOME Foundation) 15. Bill Haneman (103) (Sun Microsystems) 16. Chema Celorio (102) (Ximian) 17. Jeff Waugh (75) (none) 18. Richard Stallman (50) (Free Software Foundation) 19. Ariel Rios (43) (none) 20. Ian McKellar (40) (none) 21. Andy Tai (24) (none) 22. Chris Lyttle (18) (none) 23. Bastien Nocera (12) (none) 24. Chris Phelps (9) (none) 25. Rhett Creighton (1) (none) Notes: [*] Per the Foundation's charter, no more than four directors may share a corporate affiliation. Michael is the fifth-leading vote-getter from Ximian, and is thus ineligible to be elected. [**] This tie would have required a run-off, but since Michael Meeks is unable to serve, both James and George are elected.
