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.

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.

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:

Sincerely,
Your Sugar Labs
Membership and Elections
Committee

Goddy, and Caryl Bigenho
