The election ends this Friday, December 15, at the end of the day (EST.)
Steve Weiss (srw) will be doing an independent count vote. As soon as the
treasurer has certified that the voters group is up-to-date (so that we
know whose votes to count) and Steve and my counts agree, I'll post the
election results.
Steve will be doing the count sometime this weekend, but I don't know how
soon he can get to it, so be patient.

The first board election would have been in 1991, so right: 15 years, 16
elections.
History quiz: Can anybody name, without looking it up, the members of the
first Grex board?

Bonus question: What color shirt did Captain Pickard wear when he met Captain
Kirk.

(Obviously, only folks who were around Grex in 1991 could do the history
quiz...)

I was here and could do it but I'm having more fun ridiculing the idea.

Gosh. Let's see... Valerie was the first president, so she must have
been on the Board. I think Dan Romanchik was the first treasurer. Marc
Unangst was still under 18 so he probably wasn't included. I think
Marcus refused to run because outsiders like myself thought of Grex as
"Marcus's New System". Um... My guess is:
Mary Valdivia (chelsea), Valerie Mates (popcorn), Dan Romachik (danr),
John Remmers (remmers), STeve Andre (steve), Katie Geddes (katie), Brian
Dunkle (bad)
Or were there 9 Board members? I don't remember.
Congrats to the winners of the 2006 election. Thanks to all who ran!

I was the first president. Marcus (and many others) ran but wasn't
elected. It's always been 7 members. You got 4 of 'em right - popcorn,
remmers, steve, and danr. So there's 3 to go.

I've started an email list, consisting of the seven board members for
2007, for purposes of scheduling the January meeting. If any of the board
members-elect see this response but *haven't* received the two messages
I've sent so far, please let me know.

I got it but I have to admit that I had to go looking for it. My email
is getting so much spam lately that it is nearly unusable.

I didn't see it, but probably deleted it by mistake. My brain goes a bit
numb after the 500th or so deletion.

Unfortunately when you have a dictatorial, non-visionary, inflexible, and
(sum of parts) incompotent staff - the users lose, lose, and lose.
It is a shame that Grex can't get basic system administration/system
utilities working. There are much better free-shell systems out there,
offering many more services, utilities, and membership strategies. Grex
may have been an honourable, competitive (in terms of services) system
over a decade ago...but, today, it is --- sadly --- nothing but a (tragic)
laughing basket-case of fuckups.

Oh, I don't know. I think there are some pretty nice people who hang here
and I tend to be able to get on most of the time. We're not perfect but
to listen to you it sounds like we should just set the hardware on fire
and slit our wrists.
Sorry, but I think our biggest problem is a few problem users. And they
aren't that big of a deal.
