First off, wow, we have a mayor as a dev :) Second the paragraph above |
| 16 |
is kinda contradictory. In a good way, sure he isn't wearing to many |
| 17 |
Gentoo hats. But dude sure has allot in real life. I can't say I know |
| 18 |
dude or have heard of him. But hard to deny seconding a nomination like |
| 19 |
that :) |

So as long as nominees can second others, I second this nomination. Tom |
| 22 |
would be a valued asset on the board of trustees. |

Thanks for the nomination, not sure if he would have been otherwise. We |
| 25 |
need more like him to be nominated. If we have people with such skills |
| 26 |
already involved with the project. Let's just hope Tom accepts the |
| 27 |
nomination. |
