Can somebody help me count the votes? I made pass through this long and complicated thread, and here's what I seem to have got:
FOR a code of conduct, possibly suitably word-smithed (7): Jan Groenewald Travis Scrimshaw Anne Schilling Mike Zabrocki Andrew Mathas Ben Salisbury Viviane Pons AGAINST having code of conductor (5) Robert Dodier Simon King mmarco Nathann Cohen Harald Schilley (qualified) Other proposal or comments, but didn't vote and proposal gained no significant traction (5): william stein karl dieter John Perry rjf cremona Also, important question. Is there anybody who is *seriously* considering quitting working on Sage if they don't like the way this vote goes? If you don't want to respond on list, feel free to email me offlist at wst...@uw.edu.
