Voting will start only on Thursday August 11. Another email will be sent 
with voting instructions at that time.

In the next couple of days you are invited to make your mind by 
reviewing the nomination texts at 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Member_Nominations_2011 and keeping an 
eye on the statements from each candidate on this list.

The candidates are encouraged to add their own speech / statement to the 
wiki page after their nomination text (as some have done already).

Please also feel free to launch a debate on this list if there are 
questions that you'd like to see answered by the candidates.

Best Regards

Daniel Morissette
OSGeo Chief Returning Officer (2011)
