Disappointing. :( Lack of awareness or advertising? I voted.I've heard from several people (warning anecdata!) that they often don't vote when they are happy with the way things are. One person specifically said they didn't vote because they liked the whole slate of candidates and were ok with whomever won.
This was the first time I've ever voted despite using Fedora from the beginning (well, RH 4.0 days actually). Anyway, much of what's been said here holds true for me. Why did I vote this time? It certainly wasn't because I hoped for a change, rather it was just me trying to increase my involvement. Oddly enough, after reading the Q&A of each contender I realized my proper vote would effectively be a no-op.
So the universe is telling me that my vote on FESCo could have a significant impact, yet I'm happy regardless of the outcome. Meanwhile, my vote for US elections has almost zero impact, yet I can't be happy with the outcome. Why does it feel like Douglas Adams is behind all of this? :-)
We can debate if this is good or bad, but it does mean that low turn out is not automatically bad.
I agree. I don't see this as bad. In fact, I might argue that it is most definitely good. Therefore, in that spirit, congrats to all, winners and "losers".
