Hi all,

Election <http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/2009-2010-candidates>is
scheduled to run from
*October 1, 2009* to *October 14, 2009*. All 7 board seats are up for
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
committee <members at sugarlabs.org> to be put on the list for next year.

Our election will be hosted at Selectricity <http://selectricity.org>, a
service of the MIT Media Lab <http://media.mit.edu>. For transparency, David

Voting will be run via the Schulze
method<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schulze_method>.
The top four candidates will be elected for two years, and the next three
