election.

The Sugar Labs Members list is currently frozen. If you're still not
in the members
list <http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Members/List>, email the
membership

Our election will be hosted at Selectricity <http://selectricity.org>, a

Voting will be run via the Schulze

The top four candidates will be elected for two years, and the next three
