| Yeah that takes more than just *legal* capability. It also takes 
managerial
| ability, as well as business expertise, both of which Patrick 
possesses. OFC
| these are not skills especially prevalent in the /technical/ developer 
pool
| as the record of your time as Trustee shows. It's the same type of skills
| that drobbins would bring, were he eligible to stand.
|
| I believe him to be the kind of person you want helping you manage the
| organisational side of things, which requires people who can empathise and
| motivate, not snipe and whinge at every opportunity. OFC, neither you nor
| anyone else has to vote for Patrick (assuming he'd even want to stand 
after
| being subject to the first personal attack in this process.)
Knock off the personal attacks...this is strictly for nominations. 
Please keep it to strictly nominations and if they don't qualify the 
reason behind it only.
