Hey Peter, Had a good chuckle reading your post .... Spoilt votes, my instance on upholding the essential freedoms and passionate debates around the topic of embedding third party media all having an impact on a perfect result <just kidding>.
Seriously -- the WE community can stand proud. Democracy has achieved a good result. I think voters considered their votes carefully because the outcome of selected candidates shows a parallel with folk who have a strong history of engagement in our project. Looking at the those candidates who did not make the shortlist of 15 -- I suspect that their votes did not trail far behind those who made the cut. As founder of the WikiEducator -- I want to salute everyone who was prepared to contest the election and all members of the community who took the time to vote. As a community we don't have any guaranteed seats and everyone contested the election on an equal footing. That's a great achievement for an open community and I know that we'll continue from success to success. These are exciting times.
