-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
We are now one week into the nomination period for candidates for the post of the Debian Project Leader. The nomination period started on 2002/02/06, one week ago, and shall end in two weeks, on February 27, 2002 (Wed, 27 Feb 2002 23:59:59 +0000 for the pedantically inclined). Prospective leaders should be familiar with the constitution, but, just to review: there's a three week period when interested developers nominate themselves, followed by a three week period with no nominations [intended for campaigning], followed by three weeks for the election itself. Please make sure that nominations are sent to (or cc:'d to) debian-vote, and are cryptographically signed. I intend to collect platform statements from the candidates, and publish them on a known location (somewhere under www.debian.org/vote) at the end of the nomination period and the beginning of the campaign, which makes it roughly the 27th of February, 2002. I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in HTML/SGML, to the secretary at least a couple of days before the publication date. (I tentatively suggest Feb 25th). This should give the candidates enough time to craft their platforms, I should think. The format of the web page is open to discussion, but I suggest there be at least three sections: a) Introduction/Biography b) Major Goal/ Meat of the platform, c) Rebuttal. After the publication, there share be a one week period for each candidate to create a rebuttal, and the rebuttals shall be published on the 7th of march. Voting shall start on the 21st of March, 2002, and shall last for 3 weeks, ending on the 10th of April. manoj - -- "But Huey, you PROMISED!" "Tell 'em I lied."
