Re: [PSF-Community] 2016 Upcoming PSF Sponsor Member Vote (April 19, 2016)

[Mark Mangoba]

Colleagues,



I appreciate your comments and suggestions, and will continue to work with
the volunteers to improve the voting process.  It’s nice to see such an
active community of volunteers and members working together.



We worked out the SMTP issue this weekend – and that is why your ballots
are being delivered.  There is no intent to have this all in caps, etc. as
the framework was upgraded and noticed a couple bugs with the style.


We will fix this for the next vote.  I encourage you to be a part of the
vote.



Please feel free to email me directly with any other questions or concerns,
at mmang...@python.org.



Best regards,

Mark

Hi,

I just voted. (BTW, like many others, I also got the ballot somewhat late,
after many emails had been sent to this thread - just a FYI for the
administrators, if it helps).

I noticed while on the vote page that all or most of the text was in
capital letters.

e.g.

YOU HAVE RECEIVED THIS SPONSORSHIP BALLOT BECAUSE YOU ARE A VOTING MEMBER
OF THE PYTHON SOFTWARE FOUNDATION.  THE PSF HAS RECOMMENDED THAT

To the election officials: It may be preferable not to have all caps,
unless there is some strong reason for it.

This is a general guideline for stuff posted on the Net (see Netiquette in
Google or Wikipedia), and it is because all caps is considered the online
equivalent of shouting.

HTH,
Vasudev
