the votes are in

[Bart Decrem <bart eazel com>]

Hi everyone,

Thanks to everyone who voted in the strawpoll and to the people who
weighed in on the issue of whether the board should be elected as a
slate.

27 people voted in the strawpoll:
-14 in favor of the charter, including the slate
-13 opposed to the charter, those who explained themselves all said it
was because of the slates feature.

Based on the results of the strawpoll and the posts on this list,
I think it's obvious that the GNOME community wants to elect a board of
directors by voting for individual members.

So let me grab some food and propose changes to the charter and a
revised timeline to reflect that desire.

Bart
