Dear Gentoo community, let me start by apologizing for another "spam" message. On the bright side, I promise this is the last one about voting for this election ;-) I just want to recall everyone that the bells at the voting booth have now started ringing as we're under 48 hours left to cast a vote. If you haven't had a chance to cast your vote yet, please hurry up to the election booth. On 26-06-2016 17:45, Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto wrote: > On 18-06-2016 18:11, Jorge Manuel B. S.
