Agreed. When I ran for FESCO, among my reasons for self-nominating (other than having ideas about what FESCO should do and delusions that I had contribution to make) was that the nominee pool was, at that time, short of what was required to hold the election. And I got in. And if I'm what you'd consider popular, I suggest taking a few steps into the big blue room with the green carpet and having a look-see. If someone has an interest in seeing fresh blood in Fedora governing bodies, I suggest that they try to be that fresh blood. -J > -- > Jesse Keating > Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! > _______________________________________________ > advisory-board mailing list > advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board -- http://cecinestpasunefromage.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------ in your fear, seek only peace in your fear, seek only love -d. bowie _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
