But there are only a limited number of seats on the Ubuntu Community Council. An election was organized so the more than 500 official Ubuntu Members could decide which of them would serve. The ballot used the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method" rel="nofollow">Condorcet Method</a> for fairness. Remarkably, more than 50% of eligible Ubuntu leaders participated in the ballot! Elizabeth's results in the ballot were very solid, so there is some evidence of real merit. Please view the results of the ballot <a href="http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_f802a7d79840b58a">here</a> and assess it for yourself. Penny,
