<p>Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
In my previous email I outlined the new Linux Australia Membership
System, based on CiviCRM, and provided details on how to update
your details in the new system.<br>
<br>
I would now like to outline how Elections for the Linux Australia
Council will run for Council 2019 using the Linux Australia
Membership System.</p>
<h2>How are elections being run?<br>
</h2>
<p>We have engaged Agileware to build a custom module for CiviCRM
based on the existing Membership DB preferential run-off style
elections.<br>
<br>
You can see the source code for this module at <a

<h2>To nominate a Linux Australia Member for Council<br>
