[HACKERS] SPI Elections and mailing list
Folks, Hopefully by now a bunch of you have joined as Software in the Public Interest Contributing members per my earlier e-mail and are aware that the SPI annual board election has started. If you are a registered contributing member with SPI, elections are at: http://members.spi-inc.org/vote/ and candidate statements are at: http://www.spi-inc.org/secretary/votes/vote5/ Voting closes July 28th. If you did not already register as an SPI contributing member, it is too late for this year. Please also note that the current volume of e-mail on the spi-private mailing list is due entirely to the election and is not at all typical of the list. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend

Sorry- perhaps I misunderstand the purpose of your group, but how can you claim to be making decisions on software in the public interest on a private, paid-member mailing list? -M On Jul 16, 2006, at 2:10 PM, Josh Berkus wrote: Folks, Hopefully by now a bunch of you have joined as Software in the Public Interest Contributing members per my earlier e-mail and are aware that the SPI annual board election has started.

Well it isn't paid-member mailing (I don't think) but you do need to be a contributing member (ahh that is where it comes from). When they say contributing, they are talking about people who are recognized within the FOSS community for their contributions. The SPI is a non-profit that is designed to help support other FOSS projects. In our case PostgreSQL. The PostgreSQL Fundraising Group (of which I am apart) is using the SPI non-profit status to allow for tax deductible donations to the PostgreSQL project. Sincerely, Joshua D.
