    <p>HI All,</p>
    <p>It is time for the Election season to begin.  Here is the
      timetable. This announcement is also on the WIKI. So as you can
      see both Jonathan Zuck and I are eligible and most likely
      interested in running for elections. Please let me or Eduardo know
      if you have any questions.</p>
