To avoid confusion with ASCII emails, here the clean version:
- Number of PSC members to be elected: 9
- Election duration: 2020-12-21 - 2021-01-28
- Nomination period: 2020-12-21 - 2021-01-11
- Reflection week: 2021-01-11 - 2021-01-18
- Voting period: 2021-01-18 - 2021-01-25
- Latest possible announcement of new PSC: 2021-02-01
Are these dates reasonable?
To me it sounds reasonable.
Fine! Then I write them in the wiki and we aim to launch on monday 21/12.
Eligible voters:
- have already posted a pull request to github **(possibly only those
PR that have been merged)**
I understood that in addition we want the translators.
- have contributed to Transifex
Yes, my question was about the part within parentheses
Note the second criterion, what about PR:s being merged or not?
Opinions on this?
"PR still open" would be fine for me because it shows interest, an
active contribution and maybe tackles complicated stuff which cannot
be merged quickly.
Then, we can say that submitting a PR gives a person the right to vote,
independently of the PR having been accepted or not.
From the current wiki drat: Election tool?
During the Voting period, eligible voters, can vote their preferred
candidate(s) via an on-line tool which will protect privacy.
Which tool? How does this work?
O see that https://vote.heliosvoting.org/ was used in 2016. Is this
being used in 2020 too? How?
Nikos knows about heliosvoting.
But as Moritz suggests, perhaps we may use
https://limesurvey.osgeo.org - I can try to find out.
We will wait for the answer on this then. In a sense, we could just
start on monday 21/12 and hope for a clear solution regarding the voting
system later during the process. But perhaps this is too risky. I would
prefer to have a definition on which system is to be used and how to use
it before launching the election.
I think you can launch the nomination period on the 21. Heliosvoting
should work. Just log in with your Google account and click "create an
election".
For the OSGeo Limesurvey, on https://limesurvey.osgeo.org/ it says
"Please contact OSGeo CRO ( c...@osgeo.org ) for further assistance.", so
you could probably just do that.
Personally I like the idea of keeping things within the OSGeo ecosystem,
and so would privilege that solution, but we shouldn't make this too
much of an issue.
Moritz
