 Hi Folks,

 In case you've not heard, two UK based Pythonistas have been elected as
 directors of the Python Software Foundation board.

 Congratulations to and celebrations for Naomi Ceder and Carrie Anne

Aha... I got confused by the, In short we had 12 people win (by vote

My mistake. I should actually read *and understand* my bloody email. ;-)
