By proxy, or changing voting to be multilingual. Currently that will stretch translators even more, but then it can help growing community and bring in more multilingual people to openSUSE.

That's not what I meant. Sure its easy enough to provide ballots in multiple languages. But its not easy for people to campaign for Board in multiple languages. English is the de facto way that we campaign and communicate with each other and make ourselves known to each other. Therefore, it is a challenge for someone of a different language who doesn't know English to follow with those discussions and campaign efforts. Therefore, how can they exercise their right to vote, meaning how can they be able to come up with meaningful decisions about who is the best candidate for their vote? That's a big challenge. But I'd love to see it figured out somehow. I just don't have the answers to that one.
