STOP press! HOT off #debian-devel on irc.freenode.net. Brendan Robinson wins DPL Elections 2005. After successive failed runs the past 4 years. Overfiend finally wins the fifth time around. Congratulations Branden! Send your best wishes to Brendan on #debian-devel now. He missed the announcement on #debian-devel earlier in the evening because he accompanied his wife to hospital

Interesting bits from Overfiend on discovering the frightening news that he has won at last:

<Overfiend> shit load of msgs
<Overfiend> uh
* Overfiend/#debian-devel stares for a moment.
<Overfiend> holy blap
<Overfiend> you will forgive me if I'm having difficulty making the necessary context switch
<Overfiend> I actually did not expect to win.
<Overfiend> and part of me suspects this is a late April Fools' prank :)
Overfiend/#debian-devel opens the window
* Overfiend/#debian-devel reads Manoj's graph
<Overfiend> I was planning to crack open a bottle of Glenfiddich so I could feel sorry for myself about losing the election again, and about my wife still being in the hospital.
<Overfiend> But one of those reasons is now gone.
<Overfiend> okay, so my "DPL crown" gets to be a dunce cap, same as I've worn for the past 7 years anyway
