I'd like to, and proposed it during my previous term, but it wasn't pursued (probably a combination of my year off, other important structural changes going on, and indecision about how to kick it off - delay the elections by five months or shift them ahead by four?). Aiming for elections in May would probably be best - I'll add this to the board agenda, thanks! - Jeff -- GUADEC 2006: Vilanova i la Geltrú, Spain http://2006.guadec.org/ "Trying to get a PC to analyse one of the most abstract forms of language - the poem - is like trying to drill for oil with a banana." - The Register _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
