[council-discuss] Final draft of Vote 2009 November

[Louis Suarez-Potts]

All,

By now you have met the candidates [0] and it is time to start voting.  
The Election Process [1] instructs us to allot two weeks for voting.  
That period will begin now and end 16 November 2009. We will be  
sending out the URL to voters where one will go to cast your votes  
very shortly, along with further instructions.

We detail this in the Election Process and in the Council Charter [2],  
but it is worth going over here.

We are voting here for

** One Code Contributor Representative.

  • Those who are in the Code Contributor Representative's  
constituency can vote. That includes all active code contributors -  
people who constantly contribute code to the project under the general  
rules of the project, as defined by following criteria:
  • contributor is a domain developer
  • contributor has commit access to the OpenOffice.org code repository
  • contributing code with the established child workspace processes
  • contributing under the accepted term and conditions of the project  
(SCA, formerly known as JCA or CA).
  • contributor constantly takes over ownership of child workspaces  
(took ownership of at least one CWS within the last 6 months).


** One Native Language Confederation (NLC, "Lang") Representative.

Those eligible include category leads, project leads and co-leads from  
native-lang projects, plus project lead and co-leads of l10n project.


** One Product Development Representative.

Those eligible include category leads, project leads and co-leads of  
all OpenOffice.org projects (Accepted and Incubator) but not from the  
Native-Lang category or l10n project.



We have compiled a list of those who are eligible to vote and we will  
invite the members of the constituencies by direct mail which explains  
how and where to vote.

If you run into problems feel free to contact the commissary and  
observers.

Commissary: Louis Suarez-Potts
Observers: Drew Jensen, Mechtilde Stehmann, Stefan Taxhet


Ciao,

- Louis (on behalf of the OpenOffice.org Community Council)
