Community Election Results. Announced and ratified! But now what?
I just hit save on a blogpost on ado to officially announce the result of the recently concluded community election.
Congratulations to @mortendk and @pcambra - I'm very much looking forward to working with you both over the coming months.
The announcement post:

But I'd also like to open a new discussion with the community, and recruit some volunteers to sit on the election committee.
We should review our electoral process and our tools.
