I'll note in passing that SPI and/or individual members of the SPI board have been willing to run voting machinery for other organizations at various times in the past, without requiring that the process involve having the electorate become SPI contributing members. If the TAB would like SPI to consider running a vote, we can certainly explore alternatives. The notion of explicitly inviting KS attendees and other kernel contributors to join SPI as contributing members is an interesting one I hadn't thought of. I at least would welcome the additional breadth of perspective such new members might bring to SPI. SPI has become "much more than Debian" in the last couple years, but I suspect we're still light on kernel contributors as contributing members. http://www.spi-inc.org/about-spi/membership Bdale - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
