tl;dr – I’m voting for Grant, James, and Wendy.
There are 3 open spots, and 4 people running. This means you have to pick one person who won’t get in.
I’m a data guy, so I made a spreadsheet of what’s important to me:
When I elect somebody to a volunteer position, I want to know what they accomplish. Ideally, they blog and tweet about what they’re doing, but I understand that not everybody likes to communicate that way. Just in case, I also read the PASS Board of Directors meeting minutes looking for what they’ve accomplished. Finally, I read their election profiles to see what BoD accomplishments they’re proud of.
I gotta be honest: I had a really tough time deciphering what the 3 incumbents have done this year. That alone is a big problem, and it means I’m 100% sold on giving Grant a vote. He’s a communicator and a bridge-builder – if anybody can bring transparency to PASS, it’s Grant.
As to the incumbents, I know JRJ was heavily involved in SQLbits, and I’ve written about what a kick-ass job they’re doing of growing the global community. I’m sold on giving JRJ another vote.
Wendy made a list of what she’s done in her election profile, so she gets my last vote.
It’s absolutely nothing against Sri – I’m sure he’s a great guy doing great things – but I just don’t know what they are.
