[Jim Grisanzio]

fyi: please note Alan's election schedule below if you are interested in 
running for the board or even voting. There are deadlines coming up in 
Feb to begin the process. Also, there is still time to offer feedback to 
the new Constitution we've been working on all year:

Send feedback to ogb-discuss.

The OpenSolaris Governing Board has set the calendar for the 2009
elections, in which the members of the board for April 2009-2010
will be elected, and a new version of the OpenSolaris Constitution
will be put up for a vote.

To be eligible to vote in this election, you must be designated as
a Core Contributor by at least one Community Group or the OGB itself,
before Monday, February 16, 2009.   Note that Core Contributor status
expires after two years, so many of those originally granted status
to vote in the first OpenSolaris elections in 2007 will need to get
their status renewed in order to vote this year.

The full timetable planned for the elections is:

Election Event  				Effective Timestamp
--------------					-------------------
Deadline for Core Contributor Grants
  for voting in this election 			Mon Feb 16th (00:00 hrs)

Nominations Open 				Mon Feb 16th

Annual Meeting begins 				Thu Feb 26th (12:00 hrs)

Submissions for Constitutional Amendments
 and other Ballot Questions Close	 	Fri Feb 27 (23:59 hrs)

Nominations Close 				Mon Mar 2nd (23:59 hrs)

Election Voting Open 				Mon Mar 9th (00:00 hrs)
Election Voting Closes 				Mon Mar 23rd (23:59 hrs)
Election results posted 			Tue Mar 24th (sometime)

New OGB takes office 				Wed Apr 1st (00:00 hrs)

Further updates and details will be posted to
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/ogb/elections/2009/
as they become available.   If you have any questions about
the elections, or wish to apply for an At-Large Contributor
Grant from the OGB instead of a specific community group,
please ask on the ogb-discuss at opensolaris.org mailing list.
