Jones http://pear.php.net/user/pmjones Joe Stump http://pear.php.net/user/jstump Joshua Eichorn http://pear.php.net/user/jeichorn Brett Bieber http://pear.php.net/user/saltybeagle Stefan Neufeind http://pear.php.net/user/neufeind If you wish to run, you have about 24 hours left to declare candidacy. If each candidate would be willing to describe their ideals (or specific plans) for moving PEAR forward, this may be helpful for those who are going to be voting. 7 candidates will be selected for the PEAR Group. This election is the big one: the PEAR Group will make decisions that affect every single developer, including defining what a collective is, which packages belong to which collectives, assigning CVS karma for developers, and other vitally important tasks. Thanks, Greg
