Nominations opened today and will run through July 21st. Whether you’re planning to be a candidate or not, I hope you’ll visit the election page and review the documents posted. Those documents reflect a lot of time and effort from Hannes and a lot of others to try to improve the election process this year and to bring a transparency to the process too. One big change – we’re going to be posting applications and scores, everyone will get to see how candidates fared leading up to selecting the final slate.

See my post from May 2010 about serving on the Board for more of my own views.
