Welcome and congratulations to Jim Harper and Olivier Janssens! I think both are fine additions as individual members. I also really liked the new election system. It was very transparent and fair. I think Brian Gross gets a lot of credit for that. And Michale Toomim for his awesome consider.it software.
Thanks also to the other candidates. It was a harder decision this time because of the glut of qualified candidates. Not a bad problem to have!

He was eliminated in the first round. He did get a respectable 21% approval. Here is a link to the first round results: https://blog.bitcoinfoundation.org/election-runoff/And here is a link to the consider.it tool that was used to compare candidates and gauge voter sentiment: https://bitcoin.consider.it/

Hmm. I'm not sure what the developers are paid? That is a lot of money, however Gavin is a MIT computer scientist. I'll try to find out, and I know they are paid in Bitcoin.

I believe Gavin was paid $160K under the auspices that he needed the money in spite of giving an interview that his stash of bitcoins could afford him and his wife to retire.

I want to congratulate the winners and hope that they are the right persons to push the BTC foundation's agenda into the major fold. I think we all should be thoroughly enthused for this outcome.

I personally would not welcome anyone into the bitcoin foundation. I would also say it is not exactly something to 'congratulate' someone about in getting elected to the board of TBF
