New IRC Council Members

First off, on behalf of the Community Council, thanks to everyone who participated in voting in the first poll for the two open positions on the IRC Council. And to the sitting Council, your patience is appreciated as we worked through this initial poll.

The results of the poll are as follows:

1. Jussi Schultink – https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JussiSchultink (Condorcet winner: wins contests with all other choices)
2. Tied:
Ben Rubin – https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BenjaminRubin loses to Jussi Schultink – https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JussiSchultink by 29–20
Melissa Draper – https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MelissaDraper loses to Jussi Schultink – https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JussiSchultink by 37–25

This tie caused us to use the instant runoff option (Condorcet-IRV):

1. Jussi Schultink – https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JussiSchultink (Condorcet winner: wins contests with all other choices)
2. Melissa Draper – https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MelissaDraper loses to Jussi Schultink – https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JussiSchultink by 37–25

So congratulations to both Jussi Schultink and Melissa Draper! Both have now been added to the https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-irc-council team.

And thanks to everyone who stood for spots during this election, in particular to the incumbent Ben Rubin whose work on the IRC Council has clearly been appreciated by the community (the Community Council).
