Hello all,

as Damien pointed out, we will have an election for the board of
directors at FOSDEM 2008 in Brussels. Magnus Hagander and myself
developed some basic rules for the first election. At the end of this
mail you will find a text copy of the rules or you can use the following
link:

http://www.pgug.eu/election.txt

We encourage everyone (not only people from europe) to send suggestions
for your candidate(s) to the mail address given in the rules.

Kind regards
