- June 2016: elections (here it would be great use the technology of
the OSGeo charter member elections)
there will be new technology used this year - Vasile knows more about it.
I asked him: it is the same as in the last 2 years: Limesurvey.
Here we have the problem to not have a charter membership.
we can have a system where anybody can nominate a candidate and the
contributors with
svn access (both core and add-ons) vote - can you find out how many we have ?
I have done that (also Martin L could do) by querying the registered
38 GRASS Core developers
79 GRASS Addon developers
117 total
A few names are double, so unique names:
105 total
Like the QGIS project (AFAIK), we could add the translators:
100 translators
if we have enough developers with svn access (core and add-on) they could
represent “charter members”
because they are considered trusted members of the community.
Agreed.
But it would be good to find a way how to include power users who do not have
svn access.
Exactly.
I also agree, but I think we shouldn't make this too complicated.
How many power users do we really have that don't have addons access ?
I would suggest that we begin with those that have svn access (which
probably includes the more active translators, or ?). We can then start
from now on a process of coopting new charter members in a process
similar to OSGeo.
The questions are
- how get get in the power users, how to "identify" them?
- and: how to contact all people mentioned above? Those with OSGeo ID
I can lookup in the system, the CSV tables are fine, too. Mass
mailing?
I would announce the vote (and the procedure) via the mailing lists.
That way completely inactive contributors might not be informed, but
that sounds fine to me.
