Poor choice of OpenSocial community board seat candiates, is it all over?

Compared to quality of last year's community board seat candidates [1] (and certainly 2008's [2]) this year's set seem very poor. I wonder if this indicates the community is dead?

How is Evan Prodromou a poor candidate? I don't know him personally, but he seems to have solid credentials.
