Dear all, I guess it shouldn't surprise me anymore that after five days offline my mailbox overflows to the point it takes more than a day to even cursorily review everything - my apologies for slow replies. I see the nomination process has started well enough, but we could definitely use more nominations: keep them coming! There has also been some confusion between nominations, endorsements and voting. I note with gratitude that Rafik has already clarified the process. I will comment on some threads and proceed to review the status of check-ins soon. -- Tapani Tarvainen
