Since we haven't seen an onslaught of nominations we've decided to extend the \
nomination period for another two weeks. Please consider nominating yourself or \
anyone else you think would be a suitable candidate. This is your chance to help \
steer the future of X.Org and serve the community.

Updated election schedule (if no further delays):
Jan 31 - nomination period begins
Feb 28 - extended nomination period ends
Mar 7  - publish candidates, membership deadline
Mar 14 - election period begins
Mar 28 - election period ends
