But, not making the very important fact of the election highly public, like on the debian.org webpage, was a large missed opportunity to bring awareness & potentially connect with "fresh blood", "A vibrant, open, friendly project depends on the periodic introduction of fresh blood wanting to work with us.

I was merely tossing it out to the only list I'm subscribed to. I suppose it would have been better if I'd marked it OT for that list. ;) Just one more thought/opinion in the stew. ;) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
