Re: [IAEP] Membership deadline.

[Laura Vargas]

Hi all,

I just wanted to underline that I'm also a candidate for the upcoming
election.

I saw my name on the list, but will also need to update my access to the
wiki if anyone can help with this.

Thanks and good to hear we have 7 candidates ;D

Hey Dan, don't worry about there are not 7 in the list.

I'm postulating myself, but I had no time to write my postulation.

I can't find good evidence of that.  I perceive three candidates.

Wiki page said "copied over from last year".  Can also be edited by
anybody, not just the board.

Looking at the edit history, the three candidates are;

- Adam Holt (self edit, 4th November),

- Walter Bender (self edit, 11th November), and;

- Sam Parkinson (self edit, 1st December).

But not Gonzalo Odiard (edited out by himself on 14th November, but
reverted by Sam on 29th November).

So I've moved the "copied over" tag accordingly.

I agree; if the candidates are less than the seats, then there is no
election.  Good news; as elections are expensive.

No, the governance of an organisation should not be distracted by
such matters.

[IAEP] Membership deadline.

[Dan Tenason]

It looks like another deadline for the the membership drive has come and gone 
with four new members added to the spreadsheet at  
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Members/List  .

As a gauge of interest it would be helpful for membership committee to publish 
the aggregate statistics for how many people responded that they be interesting 
in participating in the election scheduled for December.

Secondly there are six candidates for seven open positions on the oversight 
board. In a quick search, I could not find any participation by at least one of 
the candidates on any of the SugarLabs communication channels since 2013. This 
opens a few options: Postpone the filing deadline and subsequent election. 
Appoint the the current candidate list leaving one slot open. Reduce the size 
of the board to fire members and hold the election as scheduled.

Or, one might seek to understand why interest in Sugar and Sugarlabs continues 
to decline.

We have 76 confirmed voting members so far. I've extended the survey
deadline while we await for more candidates for the oversight board.

Might I take the opportunity to ask the membership to step up to the
challenge of steering Sugar Labs to fulfill its mission /"to produce,
distribute, and support the use of the Sugar learning platform; [to be]
a support base and gathering place for the community of educators and
developers to create, extend, teach, and learn with the Sugar learning
platform."//

I believe that was a mistake that I reverted Gonzalo's commit.  I'm am very
confused by media wiki in general.

Ignacio will also be nominating, however he currently is having issues
logging into the wiki.

Thanks,
Sam
