Hello fellow developers and users.

Nominations for the Gentoo Council 2009/2010 are now open for the next
two weeks (until 23:59 UTC, 14/06/2009).

All nominations must be sent to the gentoo-dev mailing list. If you
were nominated and want to run, you have to accept your nomination on
the same mailing list.

Here are the rules:

    * Council elections generally happen once a year
    * The council is composed of seven elected members
    * Nominations are allowed from June 1st 00H00 UTC to June 14th 23H59 UTC
    * Only Gentoo developers may be nominated
    * Anyone can nominate (nominating yourself is OK)
    * Nominees must accept their nomination before voting begins
    * Voting is opened from June 16th 00H00 UTC to June 30th 23H59 UTC
      (there is one day of break between nominations and voting so the
infra team has time to set up everything)
    * Only Gentoo developers may vote
    * Gentoo uses the Condorcet method of voting

The page listing all nominations is here:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/elections/council-200906-nominees.xml

If you don't know what the Gentoo Council is, you can read about it here:

If you want to ask a question or share your thoughts, contact any of
the election officials:

Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (jmbsvicetto)
Łukasz Damentko (rane)
Roy Bamford (neddyseagoon)
Shyam Mani (fox2mike) will be doing infra magic.

You can send us an e-mail (gentoo-elections at gentoo dot org) or find

For the elections team,

Hi again.

The "voting booth" has now opened and his waiting for you in woodpecker.
Be sure to run "votify --help" as suggested by the "informative" motd
set by Shyam (fox2mike).

Quick voting helper:
$ votify --new council200906 [1]
$ $(editor) .ballot-council200906 [2]
$ votify --verify council200906 [3]
$ votify --submit council200906 [4]

 [1] - create a ballot in your home dir with the name of all the devs
running for the election
 [2] - rank devs according to your preference (names at the top have
precedence over names at the bottom and all names in the same line have
the same preference)
 [3] - important step to verify your ballot and ensure there is nothing
wrong with it
 [4] - don't forget to submit your ballot or it won't count!!!

As you may have noticed, this means there'll be 15 days to vote and not
14 days. As I made a mistake in the original mail, we'll let it run the
extra day instead of causing any confusion by respecting the 14 days
voting period - so there'll be one less excuse not to vote! ;-)

We'll update the page with links to the manifestos as they came in -
devs running for the election wanting to provide a manifesto please send
an email to the dev ml with the URL.
