Hi John, since Nigel is asleep I used fedora-python and found out the number of people in cla_done currently: 18,252 Also, here are ballot numbers for the last four Board elections: June 2008: 250 December 2008: 227 June 2009: 297 December 2009: 225 The ping-ponging of ballot numbers is interesting. The lower December numbers might lead one to conclude we need better publicity around elections in December. IIRC, Nigel has told us in the past the majority of ballots come in early, which would not support just having longer elections then. -- Paul W.
