Dear all, I am currently with a less than ideal connection, I wish I would have removed myself from the list of candidates before the election got going, my apologies. I do still care deeply about the user experience of those who have been given Sugar as their interface, and wish that real world needs, especially the teacher's, will be prioritized, but I rather let others do the oversight for it. Thank you.

Four seats are open for election this term. The election will finish at December 27, 2012 at 23:59. The candidates are: * Adam Holt * Gonzalo Odiard * Claudia Urrea * Sebastian Silva * Yama Ploskonka * S. Daniel Francis I encourage each Member to review the candidates' platforms in preparation for the coming election. Ballots will have been mailed by the time this email is sent. Individuals interested participating in next year's election should apply for membership[2]. NOTE: This election is being conducted via the Condorcet Internet Voting Service[3], operated by an independant third party. This is different from what was done in previous elections, and a departure from what was mentioned in the election announcement[4] due to concerns about Selectricity's reliability.
