I made a mistake as the voting period lasts from 00:00.00 UTC February 
14th (Thursday) to 23:59.59 UTC February 28th (Thursday), so you can 
still vote on the 28th.

As promised the list of nominees to the trustees election is the following:

William Thomson - wltjr
Roy Bamford - NeddySeagoon
Tom Gall - tgall

The list of voters for this election[6] can be checked through the 
elections page[5].

To vote on this election, do the following:

Eligible current Gentoo devs should login to dev.gentoo.org and run the 
following commands, in the order specified.

  * votify --new trustees2008 - This creates a new ballot in your homedir.
  * Edit the .ballot-trustees2008 file and rank the candidates.
  * Once you're sure, run votify --verify trustees2008 to check the 
validity of the ballot.
  * If that goes through fine, the next and final step is to submit your 
vote using votify --submit trustees2008
  * In case you're stuck, detailed help can be accessed by using votify 
--help or feel free to drop by #gentoo-elections on IRC. If you think 
you are eligible to vote, but cannot, please contact one of the officials.
  * Grab a beer, have fun, sit back and enjoy the show..till we announce 
the results ;)

The remaining Foundation members (ex-devs), should email their ballot to 
the 3 election officials, signing the mail with their gpg key:

  * rane@gentoo.org
  * jmbsvicetto@gentoo.org
  * rich0@gentoo.org

Please check the elections page as we've updated it to include all this 
info.
