All, We have a calendar correction to make.
The current schedule of SPI elections for the Board is this: 2007: 6 seats 2008: 3 seats 2009: 0 seats 2010: 6 seats etc... I think you can see some problems with this skewed rotation, the product of some missed/aborted elections in our past. I'm thinking of proposing two things: 1) That three years is too long a term for a board seat in an OSS group; instead, it should be two. For evidence, check out the history of attendance listed last election; it's a steady decline by year of office. 2) That we alternate 4/5/4/5 on a two-year election cycle. This would mean one of the people elected in 2006 would be up early; I'll volunteer. However, since this is a change to the election procedures I don't think that we can do it as a board vote, so I'm not sure how to ratify it even when we reach a consensus.
