Again, targeting employer specific groups is _pointless_. We only have real data for 3 employers, that data isn't even fully accurate, and you can't hardly target an employer demographic of "unknown" any better than you can the community as a whole. > Or go for mandatory voting with a 'Non-of-the-above' category if > people aren't happy with any of the candidates. We could do that if we had a timeout on ballots. But it really wouldn't do anything to help. We can't wait until everyone manually votes or the vote would never end. josh _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
