[Board] Today's list of Board candidates currently nominated and accepted.

[Tracy Worcester]

Other Board people should feel free to take this thread up to add anything
they know about candidates, disagree with my assessments, and so forth.
Don't take the positive reviews as a statement of my personal preferences, I
can probably write summaries this good for everyone we're asking.  Also, be
polite about talking about flaws you know of, but don't hold back on
mentioning them.  We need to know both virtues and weaknesses to make good
decisions.  If, for any candidate, you know of a flaw which should not be
discussed on a public list, well, don't feel compelled, but do let us know
such a thing exists.

Jordan Malokofsky.
Jordan has been PenguiCon's treasurer for the last two years.  He's done a
very good job in a role which revolves around an obnoxious level of fine
detail.  He is not planning on volunteering for the treasurer job again next
year.  I've never seen evidence that Jordan has annoyed *anyone* in
association with the convention, and for a treasurer to be able to say that
is quite a feat.  He is a professional programmer, so I believe he would be
useful helping keep the fanside-ITside balance that PenguiCon needs to look
at.

His two primary flaws are 1.  that he doesn't have a whole lot of time, and
2. that he isn't always on time to things due to the demands of his life.

Chuck Child.
Chuck was involved in PenguiCon over the last year as the Open Cola guy.  He
spent a lot of time and fair bit of his personal money not only formulating
Open Cola, but running taste tests in Cafe PenguiCons over the course of the
year to fine tune several different recipes.  He not only is capable of fine
detail work, but is actively interested in running the results past the
community it is created for, and fine tuning his creation to hit the moving
target of personal preferences in our population.  He's also an IT guy of
some kind, which I view to be a bonus.

The one flaw that I know of is that he has, on one occasion, publicly
attacked someone (in defense of someone else) without checking all the
facts, and turned out the person he was defending had skewed the story quite
a bit.
