GNOME Foundation Board Election Results
Anonymous BillyGoat writes "The results of the 2003 GNOME Foundation Elections have been announced. These are preliminary results, and will stand unless someone decides to challenge them. A notable exclusion from this year's list is Miguel De Icaza, whose candidacy application was rejected as it missed the deadline. In related news, barely a few weeks after the news of the death of GNOME hacker Chema Celorio in a sky diving accident, the GNOME community was shocked by the news of the sudden death of Evolution hacker Ettore Perazzoli."
Considering the high mortality rate associated with being part of GNOME, it's probably a good thing.
Don't trust these results. They used Diebold machines.

Agent K: A *person* is smart. People are dumb, stupid, panicky animals, and you know it.
That was crude and tasteless, even by my standards -- and that's saying a lot.
24 beers in a case, 24 hours in a day. Coincidence? I think not!
Two election based articles...One day? I think Slashdot is now trying to sway the vote.
Vote No to proposal #4839562358096-2385178934569384560345934(a(b)(d)) titled "More Electoral Based Articles on Slashdot"

Yes, like David Wexelblat of XFree. He is in the core team without even using XFree because he is a windows user now. Sounds smart.

Dear Reuters,
As of late many Linux-communists have complained of our efforts here at SCO (the owner of the UNIX operating system) to bring fairness and equality to the management of our Intellectual Property[**]. The Linux collective launched a denial of service attack on our web site earlier this week, and in doing so forced us into reciprocating with a return denial of service attack of our own. It is unfortunate that it has come to this, but we must take measures to protect our Intellectual Property[**] - it is not a choice we have made, but a course of action that we have been forced into. Our enforcers, Vinny and Spike, will continue to administer these denial of service attacks against Linux-terrorists in a freedom fighting effort for the good of all Intellectual Property ? our Intellectual Property[**] as well as the intellectual property of others[***].
For a totally unbiased explanation of why our policy of DOS reciprocity is pro-America and good for everybody, please refer to the completely independent report by the Yankee Group's Laura Didio, who has not connection to SCO whatsoever and doesn't know anybody here and has never worked with any of us and is totally unbiased. Please quote her repeatedly as she is totally unbiased and doesn't even know us.
Love,
Darl McBride
