This may seem a rather divergent topic for -hackers, but a quick look at http://www.usenix.org/whatsnew/98_election should quickly show why I'm sending this message to all of you. Yes, I am one of those running for election to the USENIX Board of Directors this year but my phrasing of the subject line was quite carefully chosen - I'm not asking all of you to vote for me, I'm asking all of you to vote PERIOD. :-) Voter apathy is hardly a problem confined to the United States government, and I would like to think/hope that FreeBSD users world-wide are a group which is increasingly motivated to take an active role in ensuring that *their* interests are furthered by organizations like USENIX. Visit the URL I show above, read the ballots carefully, and vote for whomever you think will best serve the needs of the FreeBSD community in this coming year. Maybe that's me, maybe that's one or more of the other candidates, just help make it *your* choice this year! That's all I ask. And if you're not a member of USENIX, now would be an excellent time to join! We're not exactly brimming over with credible organizations devoted to the cause of Unix these days and I truly believe that USENIX represents our best hope for the future, so please join me in lending it your support.
