zack for DPL 2009
During 2009, I've been foolish enough to candidate as DPL in the yearly elections. My attempt was not successful: the other candidate (Steve McIntyre, which was standing again after his 1st term as DPL) won over me by 43 votes. This page collects information about my 2009 candidacy, mostly for historic reasons.
