Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board elections status - day 1

[Barry Rowlingson]

I've just dug my voting invite out of the Gmail spam and voted. The discuss
list has been hard to keep up with lately, so I hadn't been aware of the
impending opening of the vote.

The OSGeo calendar http://www.osgeo.org/event/ical is a bit sparse at the
moment. Perhaps we need to track important admin events in a calendar...

Thanks a lot for such a concern and this email. It helped me to trace
"voting" email.

IMO, following information may be useful to search this important email.

Subject: "Invitation to participate in the OSGeo Board of Directors
elections 2017"
From: vas...@geo-spatial.org
In body: "The deadline for this election is 23:59 GMT Tuesday 25th October 2017"

Persons using webbased gmail, may copy and paste following in search
box of gmail:

in:spam from:(vas...@geo-spatial.org) subject:("Invitation to
participate in the OSGeo Board of Directors elections 2017") "The
deadline for this election is 23:59 GMT Tuesday 25th October 2017"

If you wish to search in all other folders (like inbox or osgeo, but
not the spam), use:

from:(vas...@geo-spatial.org) subject:("Invitation to participate in
the OSGeo Board of Directors elections 2017") "The deadline for this
election is 23:59 GMT Tuesday 25th October 2017"

If it found such email in spam, it let you know.

or you may click to following link (if it is not a link, then copy and
paste in browser):

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#advanced-search/from=vasile%40geo-spatial.org=%22Invitation+to+participate+in+the+OSGeo+Board+of+Directors+elections+2017%22=spam=%22The+deadline+for+this+election+is+23%3A59+GMT+Tuesday+25th+October+2017%22=1d=s_sl=s_smb

It will give you pre-filled search box, and you may adjust data to
meet your need, before pressing  "search" button, and work if you have
not logged in with multiple gmail accounts.

I suggest we all need to vote before that so that Vasile may be saved
from such extra work.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Board elections status - day 1

[Vasile Craciunescu]

Dear all,

At the end of the first day of voting (I mean, end of the day for me, in 
Europe) we got exactly 100 votes (25.6%). I guess this is not bad. I 
encourage everyone to vote ASAP. After a number of reports, we know that 
an important number of members with Gmail e-mail accounts got the 
invitation in the spam folder. If you are using an Gmail account in your 
relation with OSGeo, please check your spam folder. On Monday I intend 
to do an effort an manually send voting links to all Gmail account that 
did note vote until that moment. You can save a lot of my time if you 
check your spam folder :)


Also, if you change your work place in the last year and you are not 
using the old email address please let me know to update our records. 
Generally is not a good practice to use your work e-mail address for 
your relation with OSGeo, as jobs can change with time. For the future 
elections I will recommend the board to change the new charter members 
nomination procedure and request the person who is nominating a 
candidate to forward the nominee personal email. This will save a lot of 
time for future CRO and will make the election process more smooth.


That's all for the moment. Thank you for your support for OSGeo! New 
updates in the days to follow.


Best,
Vasile
