Hello,
we have received two proposals for this years' LibreOffice Conference -
thank you very much for your applications!
My proposal for the voting process is as follows:
- I would like to make the proposals public immediately, by uploading
them to the wiki, and sending out a short notice to announce@tdf
- For the timeline of a week or so, the community can ask direct
questions to the proponents, should something be unclear in their proposals
- After that, we will initiate the voting
- For voting, I propose to use a simple majority vote, i.e. the proposal
having more votes will host the conference
- The candidate not succeeding this year can propose for 2013, but it
will not automatically be preferred there (since we already called for
2013 proposals as well)
- Where I'm a bit undetermined is the voting scheme itself
- One option is to allow every subscriber to the announce@ lists to vote
(after e-mail confirmation in the voting system itself),
- another one is to allow only TDF members to vote. The latter one would
exclude "joke" votings like we have seen them in the past, but exclude
many eligible people.
- A third option would be to send out a voting invitation to everyone
subscribe to a set of mailing lists (e.g. discuss@, announce@ and so
on), but send them a private token. That way, only active people in the
project could vote, but TDF membership would not be necessary.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Florian
