Well, as we are talking about this... the person I feel is the best candidate, and who I have just voted for, is Mindspillage.
She is someone I trust totally, to do the job well and to do it for everyone in the community. I have great respect for her, and for her ability to work with others, effectively and with diplomacy. This is a big factor in my decision, the board does not need someone who will go their own way regardless of the opinions of others.
Mindspillage is smart, hard working, thoughtful, and has a clear understanding of the foundation and it's future. I think she is the ideal candidate.

It is very very important that everyone vote.
I personally strongly strongly support the candidacies of Oscar and Mindspillage.
Oscar is an amazing Dutch Wikipedian with strong support from that community but who does not have broad exposure in the English Wikipedia... I hope we can change that by introducing him to people.
Mindspillage is Mindspillage. We all know and love her. Give her some votes.
There are other candidates, some good, but at least some of them are entirely unacceptable because they have proven themselves repeatedly unable to work well with the community.
Please, everyone, vote... and vote for people who you can know and trust and care about as human beings.
I invite an open discussion here of the candidates. This is your community, speak openly of who you trust and why.
