True, but the announcement period this time was shorter. In 2012, the announcement went out 17 April with a deadline of 20 May. [1] This time, the announcement went out 6 May with a deadline of 19 May. [2] Given Richard's observation that we have a lack of choice combined with the shorter announcement period, I wonder if it would be worth extending the call for candidates for, say, another week. Take care. --joanie [1] https://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2012-April/msg00015.html [2] https://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2013-May/msg00032.html _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
