Thanks to everyone for the corrections: Chris does work at Facebook now,
so his address is clm@fb.com (I should have checked before cutting and
pasting from two years ago).

The Time and Place for the election will be 20:00 at the Museum of
Science and Industry on Wednesday 20 August (The joint KS/LinuxCon
event).

We still have only 3 nominations for 5 places, So we'll do a last call
for nominations at 20:00 and if there are five or fewer, there won't be
an election and the TAB will use its charter process to appoint people
to fill any shortfall.
