It sounds like all that is really needed is to make clear that, as a developer body, we don't see anything wrong or unhealthy in an election cycle where the incumbent is running unopposed. As it is, sometimes a developer self-nominates "because it would be a shame if there were only 1 candidate". If the sitting DPL is willing to go another year, and nobody else stands for election, I don't think we should see it as a sign of an unhealthy project, or try to correct it. -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
