FYI All, Besides the SIGImage/SQL Ballot that Interex just helpfully put up on the web for us, note that 2001 HP-UX SIB is also up.. **BUT**: It sez "Voting will be closed on Sunday, December 18, 2001."... .... oops: hmmm...: Did they mean: [a] Sunday (today), which is **16** December.... or: [b] Tuesday 18 December 2001. For the moment I'm going to assume the most lenient interpretation; i.e.: Tuesday 18 December. If that's the case, then may I direct your attention to: http://www.interex.org/advocacy/survey/sib2001.html and click "Cast Your Votes Now!" at bottom after read; or direct to: http://www.interex.org/advocacy/survey/hpuxsib01.html Note you can cast 20 votes in each of seven separate sections. I direct all members of this list especially to "Section 6 - Software Development:", first item: " Need HP to adopt a general policy of opensource-ing obsolete/discontinued products." I gave above item 20 votes (but didn't vote on rest of HP-UX ballot, since DNA to me).... :-) Also note that unlike the SIGImage/SQL Ballot, HP-UX SIB does not tell you if your vote was successfully recorded after you hit "Submit"; it just takes you back to first above URL.. so apparently just have to assume that it worked... SIDEBAR: Was somewhat interesting to scan the HP-UX ballot to see what the Unix weenies are wishing for....
