I think “elected” is a euphemism for “Committee didn’t grant parole”

Pre-election polls show that there is still strong support for myself heading up Vintage Computer Committee as chairman. We’ll get a meeting on the calendar to give the membership a chance to speak in public outside of online channels and ratify the vote with committee members.

Doug! I saw your name on a galley bin when Jason (Middleton) and I joined and we thought it might be you. DMS definitely has niche interest cross pollination, it’s awesome. So good to see another friendly face around!

I just wanted to verify, and figured this would be the best place for it. You do not need voting rights to vote in the Chairperson Elections, correct?

You are correct. You do not need voting rights for the Chair elections.
