Re: [Council] Maemo Elections (September 2012)
Yup I'm amazed how you missed that out too :p It was quite widely publicised during the last Council election about linking one's TMO account to your maemo account...You have to copy the link to your TMO profile to your maemo.org account under the TMO section and click on link IIRC...
It takes around a week for the karma to be updated... Maemo.org doesn't seem to be loading fine for me ATM hence I can't post the screens or the exact locations for the linking...Will update once I can access it... |
Re: [Council] Maemo Elections (September 2012)
I've never partaken that closely in community governance/admin matters, & in the last 6mth I've increasingly followed TMO less (too busy IRL).
But at the same time my interest & concern in community governance/admin matters has become more heightened. :) |

This time round I'm not too sure whether that stands as there have been a number of members who have joined only this year so its probable a number of them won't be eligible to vote due to their karma... In fact, if you read my next posts you'll see I clearly mentioned that it was quite publicised during the previous election on how TMO account should be linked to one's maemo account... Yes, I agree with you not many people actually end up voting and I'm happy to apologize if you felt that I was demeaning Council's efforts to get as many votes as possible...My point was simply to jalyst to inform him about the Karma linkage being possible and the system is such that there is a possibility that those who joined due to Harmattan don't be eligible to vote... After all, you can't include everyone as there will always be people joining and you can't accomodate all...There have to be certain restrictions on voting and I'm quite happy with the current system as is instead of suggesting something that might rock the boat... |

Ah only 10 karma points...I don't know why I was under the impression that 100 karma points was the minimum required hence I thought it was not that easy for someone to participate in the vote...
At only 10 karma points there shouldn't be any trouble for anyone to vote! |

The Karma process is designed to track participation, not just in the forums but in other arenas as well. In fact, giving Karma for participation in the forums was more of an afterthought, since the other services and tools existed before Maemo.org had a forum. (TMO was actually pulled into the existing structure, and before that had been it's own forum, with a separate name.) Quote:
All of the requirements were designed to ensure that people running for positions, and those electing them, were valid and real people with at least a few months of knowledge and experience. Without this, anyone could simply create a bunch of fake accounts the day of the election and cast tons of ballots. Quote:
As for the number of people being elected, that can vary. For Council, the number is either 5, or in a special case as few as 3. For the Board, the same process is being used for this cycle. Future cycles will be determined as set forth in the bylaws. Quote:

These election rules have served the community well for some time. This, in part, is why the Board is using/cloning these rules as best it can. It's a known working and validated system. :) |
