Covering all the ridings was quite a feat, no doubt, but I don't think
alienating your team is a good way to lead an organization.  That
really bugs me.

After seeing a couple posts here about the NDP's possible interest in
FOSS and related topics, I asked on the NDP site for their take (when
the "cease-fire" ends) on the CIPPIC's questions at
http://www.cippic.ca/en/projects-cases/election-2006/

None of the major parties have responded to it yet, so I'll bug the
rest after Christmas.  :)

Anybody doing any non-partisan, spreading the word to "non-geeks"
about what will otherwise be non-issues -again- in this election? Want
to combine efforts?  Lemme know.  :)
