If this introduction has not been sent in by 24th February, your candidacy will be considered invalid and dropped from the election. For this reason, make sure you have received confirmation (from a human) that this email has arrived, and if it hasn't, contact any of the current board members to make sure you're not getting incorrectly dropped. Please do not send this introduction to the general list, just to elections(at)postgresql(dot)eu.
