Final call for votes for the debian project leader election 2006

2006-04-06 Thread Debian Project Secretary
Hi,

At the time of writing, less than two days before the end of
 the vote, the standing are still lower than expected; here is a
 comparison with recent years (all but 2006 numbers are the final
 tally number):
 ===
 |||Total # of|  |Valid|Unique|Rejects|| Multiple ||
 ||Year|Developers|Quorum|Votes|Voters|   |% Voting| of Quorum||
 ---
 ||1999|  347 | 27.90| | 208  |   | 59.94  |  7.45||
 ||2000|  347 | 43.24| | 216  |   | 62.25  |  7.74||
 ||2001|   ?? | ??   | | 311  |   ||  ||
 ||2002|  939 | 45.96| 509 | 475  | 122   | 50.58  | 10.34||
 ||2003|  831 | 43.24| 510 | 488  | 200   | 58.72  | 11.28||
 ||2004|  908 | 45.20| 506 | 482  |  52   | 53.08  | 10.66||
 ||2005|  965 | 46.60| 531 | 504  |  69   | 52.23  | 10.82||
 ||2006|  972 | 46.88| 319 | 308  |  31   | 31.69  |  6.57||
 ===

 As you can see, we are still shy of the 1/3rd mark. If you have been
 waiting for the last minute to cast your vote, this is it. I would
 not advice waiting for the 11th hour, since mistakes happen: people
 forget to sign their ballot, send it to the wrong address, or have
 problems with their MUA mangling the ballot; leave it too late and
 you shall not have time to correct the error.

So, if you have not yet voted, go vote.

Third call for votes for the debian project leader election 2006

2006-04-01 Thread Debian Project Secretary
Hi,
At the time of writing, a couple of hours into the third (and
 final) week of the vote, we are still at a low ebb for voter
 participation, though not by a huge margin.  I do note, though, that
 more people have gone back and re-cast their ballot this year than
 previously, lending some credence to the theory that this year people
 are just taking longer to muddle through deciding on their ballot.

 Doesn't 'r' use reply-to and 'L' use Mail-Followup-To?

  Yes. I don't know him but me, I map 'r' to 'L' (iow, use M-F-T) in
  folders that contain list mail, so that 'r' always does the most
  common action, which for lists is to reply on list. This way, when
  reading mail, I only have to press 'r' always, except when I want a
  private reply, and since this is a out-of-the-norm scenario, I
  remember to press another key (incidentally, 'L').

  Some people think this is crack, but works for me very well.
  Mentioning in case somebody wants to try it. :P

... which is probably the rare case, when one could expect the
debater to ensure a proper recipient address. On the upshot, we'd
ensure that people don't accidentally publish their ballots while an
accidental failure to send a debate of the ballot itself to the
proper address would be met with an error reply and rejected.

True. But I, for one, have my MUA set to honour M-F-T before R-T
