Hi Folks… First, thanks go to Walter for resending the message we sent out two days ago. If you didn't receive it, but did receive the copy Walter sent, please check to see if there is a problem with your email. Then, let us know right away so we can be sure you receive all other communications from the membership/election committee. Probably the best way to do this is to use the link for the membership/election committee: https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Members#Applying_for_membership Additionally, if you know of anyone else who did not receive either the survey or the email we sent out on Dec 15, please pass this note on to them. And, if there are people you know who should be SugarLabs members, but are not, please encourage them to apply before the January 3 deadline. Caryl Bigenho (for the membership/elections committee)[email protected]

I am hoping this message gets through. regards. -walter ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sebastian Silva <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Dec 15, 2015 at 6:53 PM Subject: SLOBs Election Set For Jan 17-23. File by Jan 3. 2016 To: iaep <[email protected]>, [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Dear Sugar Labs Members and Friends, It looks like we are finally getting a slate of candidates for the upcoming SLOBs election. The Election committee has concurred that we will close both the candidate list and membership list on January 3, 2016. This is a firm deadline. The election will take place the week of January 17-23, with board members terms beginning the first week of February 2016. Candidates statements must also be posted on the wiki by the January 3 deadline. The election/membership committee is reviewing the membership list, using your responses to the survey sent out to all members. The official list for voting purposes will now include only those who have actually replied that they want to be active or have applied to the committee for membership. You still have until Jan 3 to return your survey or apply for membership. People who replied that they wish to cancel their membership will not appear on the voter list. People who have not responded have also been removed. But, if you are one of those people you can be added back to the list if we get your response by January 3. Please check the list before January 3 and, if you find any errors with your name, contact the committee immediately so corrections can be made in time for the election. https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Members/Survey2015 There have been some concerns about the candidates list, with people who are not members of the election/membership committee adding and taking away names. As with all wikis, ours allows this. Anyone who is an active member of Sugar Labs may add their own name as a candidate. If you wish to run, and are having difficulties with the wiki, please contact the election/membership committee for help and we will make sure you are correctly entered. The list of candidates who have declared intention to run is at the link below. Each candidate needs to make sure their platform is linked by January 3. https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/2015-2016-candidates We also hope that some of you, who have not yet applied for membership, will consider taking this opportunity to do so by January 3, so you will be able to cast your votes for your choices of candidates. To join, simply send a short email message to: samsongoddy at hotmail.com or caryl at laptop.org (from the election/membership committee), following the instructions you will find at this link: https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Members#Applying_for_membership Sincerely, Your Sugar Labs Membership and Elections Committee Sebastian Silva, Samson Goddy, and Caryl Bigenho -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs http://www.sugarlabs.org _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
