So any news? The voting process is taking longer to setup than I would have expected....

I would be glad to help out as well

No news,

Dave is in vacation and will be back this week.
He seems to be the only one able to set up the voting process.
No word from Reggie.

Is this using maemo.org/vote? Raise a Bugzilla ticket, anyone at Nemein (including X-Fade & bergie) should be able to add to it.

Dave sent me a link to the documetation of the maemo council voting process...

Oooookay, overwhelming in the first read. I'm already not sure if I understood the second paragraph correctly... Not to mention the rest of the wiki...

Please ask if you need help. I will try my best, but I guess I need a detailed briefing before I'm able to support you.

Where is texrat if we need him? I read something database related at a twitter post from him... seeeeveral weeks ago but it seems that he had fun. I guess he could help us a lot with his background knowledge.

Hi. I assume sending the link means Dave is not available.

A couple weeks ago I solicited Council members for someone to supervise the next election and got no response. I would do it, but I am doing an unequal amount of council work these days and will probably run for Council again anyways.

X-Fade can probably do it. But if there's no objection, maybe we can widen the list to past council members and other trusted community members and hopefully someone will volunteer to do the coding competition vote and the next election vote.

What is the date range for the coding competition vote?

He said he is quite busy doing paid work.
Yesterday he wrote: "You wouldn't need to create a database, you'd just need someone who has access to the database server. There is a list here, and it includes Henri Bergius, Niels Breet and a bunch of others."

I simply don't know what I have to do.
Date range of the vote: a week or two?

Helmuth | # 559 | 2011-08-30, 10:12 | Report

Yes...

We want to use the council voting system... so I have now simply asked the Council to help us a little bit.
Hopefully one of those smart guys know how to proceed...

I wouldn't be so sure about the smart part but we should develop a solution.

One thing for the competition itself to figure out without waiting for Council is whether the vote should be one week or two. Another thing is the timing. The next Council meeting is currently scheduled for September 6 although it could change. The regular maemo.org election starts September 22. If a two week coding competition vote started on September 9, it would run into the regular election and I would want to avoid the confusion.
