[March 2010 Council Election] Voting Now Open! - Page 2 - maemo.org

Texrat | # 11 | 2010-03-25, 18:52 | Report

Even though I'm a rusty old member here and running for re-election, I want to encourage people to vote for newcomer candidates. The council truly needs a healthy mix of new and old to both move forward and avoid repeating mistakes of the past.

Good fortunate to all candidates!

The rule is "maemo.org account". This includes:

Garage accounts (i.e. you have a page at http://maemo.org/profile/view/nick). These are the "normal" maemo.org accounts.
Bugzilla (i.e. you have a log in on http://bugs.maemo.org/ with your email address and can point to 3 month old activity).
Talk (i.e. here ;-))

If you now have a (Garage) maemo.org account, created it within the last 3 months but have had another maemo.org account which is older; please let Dave know.

...and don't forget to vote!

I just want to point out that there's no way you can have karma if you don't have a maemo.org account. I make lots of exceptions for people who can show that they've been doing stuff for more than 3 months (most recently someone who started using Bugzilla in December but only registered for maemo.org in January), but I made it clear at the start of the election process that there was a cut-off date for having a maemo.org account, and it was the beginning of the election process.

Cheers,
Dave.

These are not official results, the official results will be confirmed by Dave Neary (dneary)

We can see that the amount of votes cast drops very rapidly. We can definitely see that some people just want to use the 10 sliding votes, whereas some have very specific ideas of whom their vote should go to.

Average of votes per voter: 6.173803526
Voters who gave 10 candidates: 144
Voters who gave 9 candidates: 5
Voters who gave 7 candidates: 6
Voters who gave 7 candidates: 11
Voters who gave 6 candidates: 27
Voters who gave 5 candidates: 54
Voters who gave 4 candidates: 41
Voters who gave 3 candidates: 50
Voters who gave 2 candidates: 36
Voters who gave 1 candidates: 23

Congratulations to everyone.

And here are the results as generated per OpenSTV, using the Fractional Transfer STV Count (Droop-Static-While method)

Good luck!

Maemo.org uses Fractional Transfer STV with Droop-Static-Whole threshold (use Options -> Show All Methods to enable it), but the final outcome is the same in this instance.

Thanks to all the candidates and voters. Still disappointed at the turnout (only 399 ballots) though.
