Ultimately, nothing prevents their boss from literally telling them how to vote. But obviously unless the boss is actively monitoring their screen whilst they vote, they won't know what they voted for. That's a huge difference from public ballot. And the literal boss is just the "extreme" case. But if ballots are public, some people will naturally be inclined to vote for those that they want to cure favour from, rather than whom they think is best fit for the role. Like for example, people could give votes to associates of the leading contracting company of FFmpeg at the given time in hope of looking good to get subcontracted later. Or all legal VideoLAN members feeling morally obliged to vote for other VideoLAN members (and they are quite of us in the FFmpeg GA). I know you would be the last to do that sort of thing, but you are not the only voter. -- 雷米‧德尼-库尔蒙 http://www.remlab.net/ _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
