Preliminary results from the GNOME Foundation elections



All:

On behalf of the GNOME Foundation elections committee, I am honored 
and pleased to announce the results of the initial election for the 
GNOME Foundation Board of Directors.

These results, which Chris DiBona and I have independently confirmed,
are only preliminary; pursuant to the previously agreed to elections
procedure, the complete archive of ballots, along with the scripts
used to verify the vote counts, will be made available shortly.  Any
registered voter may challenge any or all of these results by sending
a formal protest to the elections committee at elections gnome org by
Wednesday, November 15, 2000, 23:59 PST.  The results should only be
considered final once that deadline has passed and any challenges
received have been resolved by the committee.

After several misformatted ballots were fixed, 330 of 372 members were
determined to have cast valid ballots.  No affiliation problems were
created, so the top 11 vote-getters were elected, as follows:

Miguel de Icaza 	(269 votes)	(Helix Code)
Havoc Pennington	(242 votes)	(Redhat)
