Three positions on the Evergreen Oversight Board are becoming vacant, so it is time to hold an election. Three candidates have been nominated:
- Rogan Hamby, York County Library, South Carolina
- Ben Hyman, British Columbia Libraries Cooperative
- Kathy Lussier, Massachussetts Library Network Cooperative
To be elected, each candidate must receive a majority of assents to their election.
To be eligible to vote, you must either be an individual who has contributed code, documentation, or other work to the Evergreen Project, or you must be employed by an institution that is contributing to the project by virtue of running Evergreen.
The survey is also doubling as a solicitation for the membership rolls for the Evergreen Project, so even if you decide not to vote in the election, all Evergreen contributors are encouraged to complete the first part of the survey asking for directory information.
The election will conclude at 23:59 EDT on Friday, 27 April 2012. Results will be announced on the open-ils mailing list as well as at the Evergreen Conference.
