Friends,

The elections remains underway.  Only 2.2% of the eligible electorate
(meaning people who are part of the Ubuntu Ohio team on Launchpad) have
voted.  7 or 8 out of over 300 have voted.

Burning Circle 9B is now up where we can hear from Paul about the whole
election process and how it works.  You can find the episode in Ogg
Vorbis format directly at
http://ohio.ubuntu-us.org/sites/default/files/BC9B.ogg

Let's walk through the instructions on voting again.  This is mostly
done at the command line.

STEP 1: curl http://me.pault.ag/paultag.asc | gpg --import

This step download's Paul's public key and imports it into your GPG
keyring for use in a later step.

STEP 2: sensible-editor vote

This step can be done differently on your own end.  "sensible-editor"
invokes an editor from the command line of your choice to type the names
of your choices into a text file that will be named "vote".

STEP 3: cat vote | gpg --encrypt -r B7982329 > vote.asc

This step takes your text file and turns it into a secret ballot only
able to be opened by Paul.

STEP 4: rm vote

This burns your unsecure copy of your choices.

STEP 5: attach vote.asc in your response

vote.asc is a binary attachment that contains your vote in an encrypted
format.  Such should be sent to paultag@xxxxxxxxxx.

Your candidates to choose from continue to be:

1. William Chambers
2. Patrick Best
3. Jon Buckley
4. Jacob Peddicord
5. Chris Miller
6. Stephen Michael Kellat
7. Michael Gilbert

Good luck and happy voting.
