[gentoo-dev-announce] Gentoo Foundation Elections

[Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto]

Hello fellow devs, users and Gentoo community.


The election for the Gentoo Foundation trustees has started. The 
nomination period started today and lasts until Tuesday, February 12th. 
The election polls will be open from Wednesday February 13th to 
Wednesday 27th. The elected trustees start their term on March 1st.

The election officials are Łukasz Damentko[1], Jorge Manuel B. S. 
Vicetto[2], and Richard Freeman[3]. The infrastructure team contact for 
the election is Shyam Mani[4]. The election officials have published a 
page[5] with all the information on the election including lists of 
voting members of the Gentoo Foundation.

 * [1] - rane@gentoo.org
 * [2] - jmbsvicetto@gentoo.org
 * [3] - rich0@gentoo.org
 * [4] - fox2mike@gentoo.org
 * [5] - http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/elections/foundation-200802.xml

To nominate a candidate, join the gentoo-nfp[6]  mailing list. Trustee 
nominations are open to the public; voting is limited to eligible 
voters. Send all your nominations, acceptances and feedback to the 
gentoo-nfp list[7]. The election officials have published on their page 
lists of current Foundation members[8] and of eligible current devs[9].

 * [6] - http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/lists.xml
 * [7] - http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-nfp/

http://dev.gentoo.org/~jmbsvicetto/trustees-election/gentoo-foundation-members
 * [9] - 
http://dev.gentoo.org/~jmbsvicetto/trustees-election/eligible-active-devs-sorted

We ask all Foundation members and current devs to check if they are in 
the correct lists and to confirm their details. In particular, devs 
should check if they  don't lack a join date in the ldap record[10]. To 
check one's details, a dev should logon to dev.gentoo.org and run 
"perl_ldap -s <nick>". Check infra's documentation for more info on 
Gentoo LDAP service[11] and concrete examples[12] on how to change 
attributes.

 * [11] - http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/infrastructure/ldap.xml
 * [12] - http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/infrastructure/ldap.xml#doc_chap3

If you have any doubts about the election or any corrections to the page 
and lists, contact the election officials.

For the election officials,

This is a remainder that the nomination period will end at 23:59:59 UTC 
today. If you want to run or to nominate someone else, please hurry, 
send a mail to the gentoo-nfp list and have the nominee reply to the 
list too.

If you are thinking on voting, make sure you check the list of voters 
[13]. The election officials haven't received a single correction to 
that list. So if you are not on that list and think you should be there, 
hurry up as you also have up to 23:59:59 UTC today to let us know.

Just a small update. For logistic reasons we need to push the voting 
period 24 hours. Thus, the election will take place from 00H00 UTC 
February 14th (Thursday) to 0H00 February 28th (Thursday).
We will send a mail with all the nominees and the list of voters after 
the nomination period ends in over one hour.

I made a mistake as the voting period lasts from 00:00.00 UTC February 
14th (Thursday) to 23:59.59 UTC February 28th (Thursday), so you can 
still vote on the 28th.

As promised the list of nominees to the trustees election is the following:

William Thomson - wltjr
Roy Bamford - NeddySeagoon
Tom Gall - tgall
Patrick Lauer - tgall
Joshua Jackson - tsunam
Jeffrey Gardner - je_fro
Ferris McCormick - fmccor
Jakub Moc - jakub

The list of voters for this election[6] can be checked through the 
elections page[5].

 * [6] - http://dev.gentoo.org/~jmbsvicetto/trustees-election/voters-sorted

To vote on this election, do the following:

Eligible current Gentoo devs should login to dev.gentoo.org and run the 
following commands, in the order specified.

  * votify --new trustees2008 - This creates a new ballot in your homedir.
  * Edit the .ballot-trustees2008 file and rank the candidates.
  * Once you're sure, run votify --verify trustees2008 to check the 
validity of the ballot.
  * If that goes through fine, the next and final step is to submit your 
vote using votify --submit trustees2008
  * In case you're stuck, detailed help can be accessed by using votify 
--help or feel free to drop by #gentoo-elections on IRC. If you think 
you are eligible to vote, but cannot, please contact one of the officials.
  * Grab a beer, have fun, sit back and enjoy the show..till we announce 
the results ;)

The remaining Foundation members (ex-devs), should email their ballot to 
the 3 election officials, signing the mail with their gpg key:

  * rane@gentoo.org
  * jmbsvicetto@gentoo.org
  * rich0@gentoo.org

Please check the elections page as we've updated it to include all this 
info.

Thanks for reporting that. As  Steev stated and is listed on the 
election page[1], Patrick Lauer's nick is patrick.
My apologies for both Patrick and Tom.
