Debian Project Leader election 2024: First call for votes

2024-04-05 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

This is the fist call for votes for the DPL election of 2024.

 Voting period starts  2024-04-06 00:00:00 UTC
 Votes must be received by 2024-04-19 23:59:59 UTC

This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.
You may see the constitution at https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.
For voting questions or problems contact secret...@debian.org.

The details of the candidate's platform can be found at:
https://www.debian.org/vote/2024/platforms/

Also, note that you can get a fresh ballot any time before the end of
the vote by sending a mail to
   bal...@vote.debian.org
with the subject "leader2024".

To vote you need to be a Debian Developer.


HOW TO VOTE

First, read the full text of the platform.

You might also want to read discussions with the candidates at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/

To cast a vote, it is necessary to send this ballot filled out to a
dedicated e-mail address, in a signed message, as described below.
The dedicated email address this ballot should be sent to is:

  leader2...@vote.debian.org

The form you need to fill out is contained at the bottom of this
message, marked with two lines containing the characters
'-=-=-=-=-=-'. Do not erase anything between those lines, and do not
change the choice names.

There are 3 choices in the form, which you may rank with numbers between
1 and 3. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1.
Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you
reach your last choice.  Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger
than 3.

You may skip numbers, leave some choices unranked, and rank options
equally.  Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
choices, and ranked below all ranked choices.

To vote "no, no matter what", rank "None of the above" as more desirable
than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the "None of the above"
choice and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank.  (Note: if the
"None of the above" choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other
unranked choices, if any -- no special consideration is given to the
"None of the above" choice by the voting software).

Finally, mail the filled out ballot to: leader2...@vote.debian.org.

Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that
your reply inserts.

NOTE: The vote must be GPG signed (or PGP signed) with your key that is
in the Debian keyring.  You may, if you wish, choose to send a signed,
encrypted ballot: use the vote key appended below for encryption.

The voting software (Devotee) accepts mail that either contains only an
unmangled OpenPGP message (RFC 2440 compliant), or a PGP/MIME mail
(RFC 3156 compliant).  To avoid problems I suggest you use PGP/MIME.

VOTING SECRECY

This is a secret vote. After the voting period there will be a record
of all the votes without the name of the voter. It will instead contain
a cryptographic hash. You will receive a secret after you have voted
that can be used to calculate that hash. This allows you to verify
that your vote is in the list.

Debian Project Leader Elections 2024: Call for nominations

2024-03-08 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

According to the constitution (5.2. Appointment), project
leader elections should begin "six weeks before the leadership
post becomes vacant, or (if it is too late already) immediately."

The new project leader term starts on 2024-04-21. The time line
looks like:

| Period | Start   | End   |
|+-+---|
| Nomination | Saturday 2024-03-09 | Friday 2024-03-15 |
| Campaign   | Saturday 2024-03-16 | Friday 2024-04-05 |
| Vote   | Saturday 2024-04-06 | Friday 2024-04-19 |

Prospective leaders should be familiar with the constitution, but
just to review: there's a one week period when interested
developers can nominate themselves and announce their platform,
followed by a three week period intended for campaigning, followed
by two weeks for the election itself.

I intend to collect platform statements from the candidates, and
publish them at http://www.debian.org/vote/2024/platforms/ at the
end of the nomination period, which means around 2024-03-16.

I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in
wml or HTML, to the secretary at least a day before the
publication date.

The format of the web page is open to discussion, but I suggest
there be at least three sections:
- Introduction / Biography
- Major Goal / Meat of the platform
- Rebuttal.

The candidates can make a rebuttal.  I would like to receive them
in the first week of the campaign period, so I can publish them
around 2024-03-23.

Details and results for the vote will be published at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2024/vote_001

Please make sure that nominations are sent to (or cc:'d to)
debian-vote, and are cryptographically signed.

Debian Public Statement about the EU Cyber Resilience Act and the
Product Liability Directive

The European Union is currently preparing a regulation "on horizontal
cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements" known as
the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). It is currently in the final "trilogue"
phase of the legislative process. The act includes a set of essential
cybersecurity and vulnerability handling requirements for manufacturers.
It will require products to be accompanied by information and
instructions to the user. Manufacturers will need to perform risk
assessments and produce technical documentation and, for critical
components, have third-party audits conducted. Discovered security
issues will have to be reported to European authorities within 24 hours
(1). The CRA will be followed up by the Product Liability Directive
(PLD) which will introduce compulsory

Debian Project Leader Elections 2023: Call for nominations

2023-03-03 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

According to the constitution (5.2. Appointment), project
leader elections should begin "six weeks before the leadership
post becomes vacant, or (if it is too late already) immediately."

The new project leader term starts on 2023-04-21. The time line
looks like:

| Period | Start   | End   |
|+-+---|
| Nomination | Saturday 2023-03-04 | Friday 2023-03-10 |
| Campaign   | Saturday 2023-03-11 | Friday 2023-03-31 |
| Vote   | Saturday 2023-04-01 | Friday 2023-04-14 |

Prospective leaders should be familiar with the constitution, but
just to review: there's a one week period when interested
developers can nominate themselves and announce their platform,
followed by a three week period intended for campaigning, followed
by two weeks for the election itself.

I intend to collect platform statements from the candidates, and
publish them at http://www.debian.org/vote/2023/platforms/ at the
end of the nomination period, which means around 2023-03-12.

I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in
wml or HTML, to the secretary at least a day before the
publication date.

The format of the web page is open to discussion, but I suggest
there be at least three sections:
- Introduction / Biography
- Major Goal / Meat of the platform
- Rebuttal.

The candidates can make a rebuttal.  I would like to receive them
in the first week of the campaign period, so I can publish them
around 2023-03-19.

Details and results for the vote will be published at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2023/vote_001

Please make sure that nominations are sent to (or cc:'d to)
debian-vote, and are cryptographically signed.

General Resolution: Non-free firmware: First call for votes

2022-09-17 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

This is the first call for votes for the General Resolution about
non-free firmware.

 Voting period starts  2022-09-18 00:00:00 UTC
 Votes must be received by 2022-10-01 23:59:59 UTC

This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.
You may see the constitution at https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.
For voting questions or problems contact secret...@debian.org.

The details of the general resolution can be found at:
https://www.debian.org/vote/2022/vote_003

Also, note that you can get a fresh ballot any time before the end of the
vote by sending a signed mail to
   bal...@vote.debian.org
with the subject "gr_non_free_firmware".

To vote you need to be a Debian Developer.


HOW TO VOTE

First, read the full text of the options.

You might also want to read discussions at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/

To cast a vote, it is necessary to send this ballot filled out to a
dedicated e-mail address, in a signed message, as described below. The
dedicated email address this ballot should be sent to is:

  gr_non_free_firmw...@vote.debian.org

The form you need to fill out is contained bellow in this message, marked
with two lines containing the characters '-=-=-=-=-=-'. Do not erase
anything between those lines, and do not change the choice names.

There are 7 choices in the form, which you may rank with numbers between 1
and 7. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1. Place a 2
in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you reach your
last choice. Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger than 7.

You may skip numbers, leave some choices unranked, and rank options
equally. Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
choices, and ranked below all ranked choices.

To vote "no, no matter what", rank "None of the above" as more desirable
than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the "None of the above"
choice and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank. (Note: if the
"None of the above" choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other
unranked choices, if any -- no special consideration is given to the
"None of the above" choice by the voting software).

Finally, mail the filled out ballot to:
gr_non_free_firmw...@vote.debian.org.

Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">")
that your reply inserts.

NOTE: The vote must be GPG signed (or PGP signed) with your key that is
in the Debian keyring. You may, if you wish, choose to send a signed,
encrypted ballot: use the vote key appended below for encryption.

The voting software (Devotee) accepts mail that either contains only an
unmangled OpenPGP message (RFC 2440 compliant), or a PGP/MIME mail
(RFC 3156 compliant). To avoid problems I suggest you use PGP/MIME.

VOTING SECRECY

This is a secret vote. After the voting period there will be a record
of all the votes without the name of the voter. It will instead contain
a cryptographic hash. You will receive a secret after you have voted
that can be used to calculate that hash. This allows you to verify
that your vote is in the list. This secret is sent in an encrypted
mail.

VOTING FORM

575929bb-88aa-449d-8174-12e5ca850cd6

this vote. The public key for the vote, signed by the Project secretary,

BALLOT OPTIONS

Choice 1: Only one installer, including non-free firmware
=

We will include non-free firmware packages from the "non-free-firmware"
section of the Debian archive on our official media (installer images and
live images). The included firmware binaries will *normally* be enabled by
default where the system determines that they are required, but where
possible we will include ways for users to disable this at boot (boot menu
option, kernel command line etc.).

When the installer/live system is running we will provide information to
the user about what firmware has been loaded (both free and non-free), and
we will *also* store that information on the target system such that users
will be able to find it later. Where non-free firmware is found to be
necessary, the target system will also be configured to use the
non-free-firmware component by default in the apt

BALLOT OPTIONS


Choice 1: Hide identities of Developers casting a particular vote
=

Rationale
=

During the vote for GR_2021_002, several developers said they were
uncomfortable voting because under the process at that time, their name
and ballot ranking would be public.
A number of participants in the discussion believe that we would get
election results that more accurately reflect the will of the developers
if we do not make the name associated with a particular vote on the
tally sheet public.
Several people believed that the ranked votes without names attached
would still be valuable public information.

This proposal would treat all elections like DPL elections.
At the same time it relaxes the requirement that the secretary must
conduct a vote via email.  If the requirement for email voting is
removed, then an experiment is planned at least with the belenios voting
system [1]. belenios may provide better voter secrecy and an easier
web-based voting system than our current email approach.
If this proposal passes, adopting such an alternative
would require sufficient support in the project but would not require
another constitutional amendment.

This proposal increases our reliance on the secretary's

"None of the above" choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other
unranked choices, if any -- no special consideration is given to the
"None of the above" choice by the voting software).

Finally, mail the filled out ballot to: gr_vote_secr...@vote.debian.org.

Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">")

encrypted ballot: use the vote key appended below for encryption.

The voting software (Devotee) accepts mail that either contains only an
unmangled OpenPGP message (RFC 2440 compliant), or a PGP/MIME mail

BALLOT OPTIONS


Choice 1: Hide identities of Developers casting a particular vote
=

Rationale
=

During the vote for GR_2021_002, several developers said they were
uncomfortable voting because under the process at that time, their name
and ballot ranking would be public.
A number of participants in the discussion believe that we would get
election results that more accurately reflect the will of the developers
if we do not make the name associated with a particular vote on the
tally sheet public.
Several people believed that the ranked votes without names attached
would still be valuable public information.

This proposal would treat all elections like DPL elections.
At the same time it relaxes the requirement that the secretary must
conduct a vote via email.  If the requirement for email voting is
removed, then an experiment is planned at least with the belenios voting
system [1]. belenios may provide better voter secrecy and an easier
web-based voting system than our current email approach.
If this proposal passes, adopting such an alternative
would require sufficient support in the project but would not require
another constitutional amendment.

Debian Project Leader Elections 2022: Call for nominations

2022-03-04 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

According to the constitution (5.2. Appointment), project
leader elections should begin "six weeks before the leadership
post becomes vacant, or (if it is too late already) immediately."

The new project leader term starts on 2022-04-21. The time line
looks like:

| Period | Start   | End   |
|+-+---|
| Nomination | Saturday 2022-03-05 | Friday 2022-03-11 |
| Campaign   | Saturday 2022-03-12 | Friday 2022-04-01 |
| Vote   | Saturday 2022-04-02 | Friday 2022-04-15 |

Prospective leaders should be familiar with the constitution, but
just to review: there's a one week period when interested
developers can nominate themselves and announce their platform,
followed by a three week period intended for campaigning, followed
by two weeks for the election itself.

I intend to collect platform statements from the candidates, and
publish them at http://www.debian.org/vote/2022/platforms/ at the
end of the nomination period, which means around 2022-03-12.

I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in
wml or HTML, to the secretary at least a day before the
publication date.

The format of the web page is open to discussion, but I suggest
there be at least three sections:
- Introduction / Biography
- Major Goal / Meat of the platform
- Rebuttal.

The candidates can make a rebuttal.  I would like to receive them
in the first week of the campaign period, so I can publish them
around 2022-03-20.

Details and results for the vote will be published at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2022/vote_002

Please make sure that nominations are sent to (or cc:'d to)
debian-vote, and are cryptographically signed.

changing the resolution process.

 Voting period starts  2022-01-15 00:00:00 UTC
 Votes must be received by 2022-01-28 23:59:59 UTC

The following ballot is for voting on changing the resolution process.

This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.
You may see the constitution at https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.
For voting questions or problems contact secret...@debian.org.

The details of the general resolution can be found at:

Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you
reach your last choice. Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger
than 3.

You may skip numbers, leave some choices unranked, and rank options
equally. Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
choices, and ranked below all ranked choices.

To vote "no, no matter what", rank "Further Discussion" as more desirable
than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the "Further Discussion"
choice and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank. (Note: if the
"Further Discussion" choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other
unranked choices, if any -- no special consideration is given to the
"Further Discussion" choice by the voting software).

Finally, mail the filled out ballot to: gr_resolution_proc...@vote.debian.org.

BALLOT OPTIONS


Choice 1: Amend resolution process, set maximum discussion period
=

Rationale
=

We have uncovered several problems with the current constitutional
mechanism for preparing a Technical Committee resolution or General
Resolution for vote:

* The timing of calling for a vote is discretionary and could be used
  strategically to cut off discussion while others were preparing
  additional ballot options.
* The original proposer of a GR has special control over the timing of the
  vote, which could be used strategically to the disadvantage of other
  ballot options.
* The description of the process for adding and managing additional ballot
  options is difficult to understand.
* The current default choice of "further discussion" for a General
  Resolution has implications beyond rejecting the other options that may,
  contrary to its intent, discourage people Developers ranking it above
  options they wish to reject.

The actual or potential implications of these problems caused conflict in
the Technical Committee systemd vote and in GRs 2019-002 and 2021-002,
which made it harder for the project to reach a fair and widely-respected
result.

This constitutional change attempts to address those issues by

* separating the Technical Committee process from the General

=

The Debian Project co-signs the statement regarding Richard
Stallman's readmission to the FSF board seen at
https://github.com/rms-open-letter/rms-open-letter.github.io/blob/main/index.md.
The text of this statement is given below.

Richard M. Stallman, frequently known as RMS, has been a
dangerous force in the free software community for a long time. He
has shown himself to be misogynist, ableist, and transphobic, among
other serious accusations of impropriety. These sorts of beliefs
have no place in the free software, digital rights, and tech
communities. With his recent reinstatement to the Board of Directors
of the Free Software Foundation, we call for the entire Board of the
FSF to step down and for RMS to be removed from all leadership
positions.

Debian Project Leader Elections 2021: Call for nominations

2021-03-06 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

According to the constitution (5.2. Appointment), project
leader elections should begin "six weeks before the leadership
post becomes vacant, or (if it is too late already) immediately."

The new project leader term starts on 2021-04-21. The time line
looks like:

| Period | Start | End |
|+---+-|
| Nomination | Sunday 2021-03-07 | Saturday 2021-03-13 |
| Campaign   | Sunday 2021-03-14 | Saturday 2021-04-03 |
| Vote   | Sunday 2021-04-04 | Saturday 2021-04-17 |

Prospective leaders should be familiar with the constitution, but
just to review: there's a one week period when interested
developers can nominate themselves and announce their platform,
followed by a three week period intended for campaigning, followed
by two weeks for the election itself.

I intend to collect platform statements from the candidates, and
publish them at http://www.debian.org/vote/2021/platforms/ at the
end of the nomination period, which means around 2021-03-14.

I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in
wml or HTML, to the secretary at least a day before the
publication date.

The format of the web page is open to discussion, but I suggest
there be at least three sections:
- Introduction / Biography
- Major Goal / Meat of the platform

Debian Project Leader election 2020: First call for votes

2020-04-04 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

This is the first call for votes on the DPL election of 2020.

 Voting period starts  2020-04-05 00:00:00 UTC
 Votes must be received by 2020-04-18 23:59:59 UTC

This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.
You may see the constitution at https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.
For voting questions or problems contact secret...@debian.org.

The details of the candidate's platform can be found at:
https://www.debian.org/vote/2020/platforms/

Also, note that you can get a fresh ballot any time before the end of
the vote by sending a mail to
   bal...@vote.debian.org
with the subject "leader2020".

To vote you need to be a Debian Developer.


HOW TO VOTE

First, read the full text of the platform.

You might also want to read discussions with the candidates at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/

To cast a vote, it is necessary to send this ballot filled out to a
dedicated e-mail address, in a signed message, as described below.
The dedicated email address this ballot should be sent to is:

  leader2...@vote.debian.org

The form you need to fill out is contained at the bottom of this
message, marked with two lines containing the characters
'-=-=-=-=-=-'. Do not erase anything between those lines, and do not
change the choice names.

There are 4 choices in the form, which you may rank with numbers between
1 and 4. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1.
Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you
reach your last choice.  Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger
than 4.

You may skip numbers, leave some choices unranked, and rank options
equally.  Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
choices, and ranked below all ranked choices.

To vote "no, no matter what", rank "None Of The Above" as more desirable
than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the "None Of The Above"
choice and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank.  (Note: if the
"None Of The Above" choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other
unranked choices, if any -- no special consideration is given to the
"None Of The Above" choice by the voting software).

Finally, mail the filled out ballot to: leader2...@vote.debian.org.

Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that
your reply inserts.

NOTE: The vote must be GPG signed (or PGP signed) with your key that is
in the Debian keyring.  You may, if you wish, choose to send a signed,
encrypted ballot: use the vote key appended below for encryption.

The voting software (Devotee) accepts mail that either contains only an
unmangled OpenPGP message (RFC 2440 compliant), or a PGP/MIME mail
(RFC 3156 compliant).  To avoid problems I suggest you use PGP/MIME.

VOTING SECRECY

This is a secret vote. After the voting period there will be a record
of all the votes without the name of the voter. It will instead contain
a cryptographic hash. You will receive a secret after you have voted
that can be used to calculate that hash. This allows you to verify
that your vote is in the list.

Debian Project Leader Elections 2020: Call for nominations

2020-03-07 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

According to the constitution (5.2. Appointment), project
leader elections should begin "six weeks before the leadership
post becomes vacant, or (if it is too late already) immediately."

The new project leader term starts on 2020-04-21. The time line
looks like:

| Period | Start | End |
|+---+-|
| Nomination | Sunday 2020-03-08 | Saturday 2020-03-14 |
| Campaign   | Sunday 2020-03-15 | Saturday 2020-04-04 |
| Vote   | Sunday 2020-04-05 | Saturday 2020-04-18 |

Prospective leaders should be familiar with the constitution, but
just to review: there's a one week period when interested
developers can nominate themselves and announce their platform,
followed by a three week period intended for campaigning, followed
by two weeks for the election itself.

I intend to collect platform statements from the candidates, and
publish them at http://www.debian.org/vote/2020/platforms/ at the
end of the nomination period, which means around 2020-03-15.

I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in
wml or HTML, to the secretary at least a day before the
publication date.

The format of the web page is open to discussion, but I suggest
there be at least three sections:
- Introduction / Biography
- Major Goal / Meat of the platform
- Rebuttal.

The candidates can make a rebuttal.  I would like to receive them
in the first week of the campaign period, so I can publish them
around 2020-03-22.

Details and results for the vote will be published at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2020/vote_001

Please make sure that nominations are sent to (or cc:'d to)
debian-vote, and are cryptographically signed.

BALLOT OPTIONS

Choice 1: F: Focus on systemd
=

This resolution is a position statement under section 4.1 (5) of the Debian
constitution:

Cross-distribution standards and cooperation are important factors in the
choice of core Debian technologies. It is important to recognize that the
Linux ecosystem has widely adopted systemd and that the level of
integration of systemd technologies in Linux systems will increase with
time.

Debian is proud to support and integrate many different technologies. With
everything we do, the costs and benefits need to be considered, both for
users and in terms of the effects on our development community. An init
system is not an isolated component, but is deeply integrated in the core
layer of the system and affects many packages. We believe that the
benefits of supporting multiple init systems do not outweigh the costs.

Debian can continue to provide and explore other init systems, but systemd
is the only officially supported init system. Wishlist bug reports with
patches can be submitted, which package maintainers should review like

Debian Project Leader Elections 2019: Call for nominations

2019-03-02 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
[-- The following data is signed --]

Hi,

According to the constitution (5.2. Appointment), project
leader elections should begin "six weeks before the leadership
post becomes vacant, or (if it is too late already) immediately."

The new project leader term starts on 2019-04-17. The time line
looks like:

| Period | Start | End |
|+---+-|
| Nomination | Sunday 2019-03-03 | Saturday 2019-03-09 |
| Campaign   | Sunday 2019-03-10 | Saturday 2019-03-30 |
| Vote   | Sunday 2019-03-31 | Saturday 2019-04-13 |

Prospective leaders should be familiar with the constitution, but
just to review: there's a one week period when interested
developers can nominate themselves and announce their platform,
followed by a three week period intended for campaigning, followed
by two weeks for the election itself.

I intend to collect platform statements from the candidates, and
publish them at http://www.debian.org/vote/2019/platforms/ at the
end of the nomination period, which means around 2019-03-10.

I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in
wml or HTML, to the secretary at least a day before the
publication date.

The format of the web page is open to discussion, but I suggest
there be at least three sections:
- Introduction / Biography
- Major Goal / Meat of the platform
- Rebuttal.

The candidates can make a rebuttal.  I would like to receive them
in the first week of the campaign period, so I can publish them
around 2019-03-17.

Details and results for the vote will be published at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2019/vote_001

Please make sure that nominations are sent to (or cc:'d to)
debian-vote, and are cryptographically signed.

Debian Project Leader election 2018: First call for votes

2018-04-02 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

This is the first call for votes on the DPL election of 2018.

 Voting period starts  2018-04-03 00:00:00 UTC
 Votes must be received by 2018-04-16 23:59:59 UTC

This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.
You may see the constitution at https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.
For voting questions or problems contact secret...@debian.org.

The details of the candidate's platform can be found at:
https://www.debian.org/vote/2018/platforms/

Also, note that you can get a fresh ballot any time before the end of
the vote by sending a mail to
   bal...@vote.debian.org
with the subject "leader2018".

To vote you need to be a Debian Developer.


HOW TO VOTE

First, read the full text of the platform.

You might also want to read discussions with the candidates at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/

To cast a vote, it is necessary to send this ballot filled out to a
dedicated e-mail address, in a signed message, as described below.
The dedicated email address this ballot should be sent to is:

  leader2...@vote.debian.org

The form you need to fill out is contained at the bottom of this
message, marked with two lines containing the characters
'-=-=-=-=-=-'. Do not erase anything between those lines, and do not
change the choice names.

There are 2 choices in the form, which you may rank with numbers between
1 and 2. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1.
Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you
reach your last choice.  Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger
than 2.

You may skip numbers, leave some choices unranked, and rank options
equally.  Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
choices, and ranked below all ranked choices.

To vote "no, no matter what", rank "None Of The Above" as more desirable
than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the "None Of The Above"
choice and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank.  (Note: if the
"None Of The Above" choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other
unranked choices, if any -- no special consideration is given to the
"None Of The Above" choice by the voting software).

Finally, mail the filled out ballot to: leader2...@vote.debian.org.

Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that
your reply inserts.

NOTE: The vote must be GPG signed (or PGP signed) with your key that is
in the Debian keyring.  You may, if you wish, choose to send a signed,
encrypted ballot: use the vote key appended below for encryption.

The voting software (Devotee) accepts mail that either contains only an
unmangled OpenPGP message (RFC 2440 compliant), or a PGP/MIME mail
(RFC 3156 compliant).  To avoid problems I suggest you use PGP/MIME.

VOTING SECRECY

This is a secret vote. After the voting period there will be a record
of all the votes without the name of the voter. It will instead contain
a cryptographic hash. You will receive a secret after you have voted
that can be used to calculate that hash. This allows you to verify
that your vote is in the list.

Debian Project Leader Elections 2018: Call for nominations

2018-03-03 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

According to the constitution (5.2. Appointment), project
leader elections should begin "six weeks before the leadership
post becomes vacant, or (if it is too late already) immediately."

The new project leader term starts on 2018-04-17. The time line
looks like:

| Period | Start | End |
|+---+-|
| Nomination | Sunday 2018-03-04 | Saturday 2018-03-10 |
| Campaign   | Sunday 2018-03-11 | Saturday 2018-03-31 |
| Vote   | Sunday 2018-04-01 | Saturday 2018-04-14 |

Prospective leaders should be familiar with the constitution, but
just to review: there's a one week period when interested
developers can nominate themselves and announce their platform,
followed by a three week period intended for campaigning, followed
by two weeks for the election itself.

I intend to collect platform statements from the candidates, and
publish them at http://www.debian.org/vote/2018/platforms/ at the
end of the nomination period, which means around 2018-03-11.

I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in
wml or HTML, to the secretary at least a day before the
publication date.

The format of the web page is open to discussion, but I suggest
there be at least three sections:
- Introduction / Biography
- Major Goal / Meat of the platform
- Rebuttal.

The candidates can make a rebuttal.  I would like to receive them
in the first week of the campaign period, so I can publish them
around 2018-03-18.

Details and results for the vote will be published at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2018/vote_001

Please make sure that nominations are sent to (or cc:'d to)
debian-vote, and are cryptographically signed.

of all the votes without the name of the voter. It will instead contain
a cryptographic hash. You will receive a secret after you have voted
that can be used to calculate that hash. This allows you to verify
that your vote is in the list.

Debian Project Leader Elections 2017: Call for nominations

2017-03-04 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

According to the constitution (5.2. Appointment), project
leader elections should begin "six weeks before the leadership
post becomes vacant, or (if it is too late already) immediately."

The new project leader term starts on Friday the 17th of April,
2017.  The time line looks like:

| Period | Start| End|
|+--+|
| Nomination | Sunday, March  5th, 2017 | Saturday, March 11th, 2017 |
| Campaign   | Sunday, March 12th, 2017 | Saturday, April 1st, 2017  |
| Vote   | Sunday, April  2th, 2017 | Saturday, April 15th, 2017 |

Prospective leaders should be familiar with the constitution, but
just to review: there's a one week period when interested
developers can nominate themselves and announce their platform,
followed by a three week period intended for campaigning, followed
by two weeks for the election itself.

I intend to collect platform statements from the candidates, and
publish them at http://www.debian.org/vote/2017/platforms/ at the
end of the nomination period, which means around March 12th.

I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in
wml or HTML, to the secretary at least a day before the
publication date.

The format of the web page is open to discussion, but I suggest
there be at least three sections:
- Introduction / Biography
- Major Goal / Meat of the platform
- Rebuttal.

The candidates can make a rebuttal.  I would like to receive them
in the first week of the campaign period, so I can publish them
around March 18th.

Details and results for the vote will be published at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2017/vote_001

Please make sure that nominations are sent to (or cc:'d to)
debian-vote, and are cryptographically signed.

GR: Declassifying debian-private: First call for votes

2016-10-08 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

This is the first call for votes for the GR about declassifying
debian-private.

 Voting period starts  2016-10-09 00:00:00 UTC
 Votes must be received by 2016-10-22 23:59:59 UTC

The following ballot is for voting on declassifying debian-private.

This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.
You may see the constitution at https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.
For voting questions or problems contact secret...@debian.org.

The details of the general resolution can be found at:
https://www.debian.org/vote/2016/vote_004

Also, note that you can get a fresh ballot any time before the end of
the vote by sending a signed mail to
   bal...@vote.debian.org
with the subject "gr_private2".

To vote you need to be a Debian Developer.


BALLOT OPTIONS

Choice 1: Repeal previous GR


Title: Acknowledge that the debian-private list will remain private.

1. The 2005 General Resolution titled "Declassification of debian-private
   list archives" is repealed.
2. In keeping with paragraph 3 of the Debian Social Contract, Debian
   Developers are strongly encouraged to use the debian-private mailing
   list only for discussions that should not be disclosed.

Choice 2: Acknowledge difficulty


Title: Acknowledge difficulty of declassifying debian-private

1. The Debian Project regrets the non-implementation of the 2005
   General Resolution titled "Declassification of debian-private list
   archives".  That General Resolution is hereby repealed.

2. In case volunteers should come forward: Permission remains for the
   list archives (of any messages, whether posted before or after
   this resolution) to be declassified, provided that the
   declassification process is at least as respecting of the privacy
   of posters to debian-private as the process set out in the 2005
   General Resolution.

3. Furthermore, the Debian listmasters remain empowered (subject to
   the usual consultation processes within the Debian project) to
   revise the rules governing the privacy and declassification of
   messages to -private.  This includes making measures to make
   declassification more widely applicable, or easier to automate.

4. But, any weakening of the privacy expectations must not be
   retrospective: changes should apply only to messages posted after
   the rule change has come into force.

5. In particular, we reaffirm this rule: no part of a posting made to
   -private, which explicitly states that it should not be
   declassified, may be published (without its author's explicit
   consent).  This rule may be changed by the listmasters (para.3,
   above), but only for future messages (para.4, above), and only
   following consultation, and only with ample notice.

6. Participants are reminded to use -private only when necessary.

Choice 3: Remain private


Title: debian-private shall remain private

The text of the GR is replaced with the following.

1. The 2005 General Resolution titled "Declassification of
   debian-private list archives" is repealed.
2. There shall be no declassification of any portion of the
   debian-private archives, except in the following circumstances.
   2a. Participants may declassify their own material.
   2b. Participants may declassify the material of others where
   consent has explicitly been given by the authors of all of the
   material being declassified.
3. Participants are reminded to use -private only when necessary.

Choice 4: Further Discussion


This is the default option. Rank this option higher than the unacceptable
choices.


HOW TO VOTE

To cast a vote, it is necessary to send this ballot filled out to a
dedicated e-mail address, in a signed message, as described below.
The dedicated email address this ballot should be sent to is:

  gr_priva...@vote.debian.org

The form you need to fill out is contained at the bottom of this
message, marked with two lines containing the characters
'-=-=-=-=-=-'. Do not erase anything between those lines, and do not
change the choice names.

There are 4 choices in the form, which you may rank with numbers between
1 and 4. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1.
Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you
reach your last choice. Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger
than 4.

You may skip numbers, leave some choices unranked, and rank options
equally. Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
choices, and ranked below all ranked choices.

To vote "no, no matter what", rank "Further Discussion" as more desirable
than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the "Further Discussion"
choice and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank. (Note: if the
"Further Discussion" choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other
unranked choices, if any -- no special consideration is given to the
"Further Discussion"

Choice 1: Allow declassifying parts of debian-private
=

Title: Declassifying parts of -private of historical interest

1. The 2005 General Resolution titled "Declassification of debian-private
   list archives" is repealed.

2. Debian listmasters and/or other individuals delegated by the DPL to
   do so are authorized to declassify excerpts of -private of historical
   interest by any process which at minimum provides sufficient time and
   opportunity for Debian Developers to object by GR prior to
   declassification.

3. In keeping with paragraph 3 of the Debian Social Contract, Debian
   Developers are strongly encouraged to use the debian-private mailing
   list only for discussions that should not be disclosed.

Choice 2: Further Discussion


This is the default option. Rank this option higher than the unacceptable
choices.


HOW TO VOTE

To cast a vote, it is necessary to send this ballot filled out to a
dedicated e-mail address, in a signed message, as described below.
The dedicated email address this ballot should be sent to is:

  gr_priv...@vote.debian.org

The form you need to fill out is contained at the bottom of this
message, marked with two lines containing the characters
'-=-=-=-=-=-'. Do not erase anything between those lines, and do not
change the choice names.

There are 2 choices in the form, which you may rank with numbers between
1 and 2. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1.
Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you
reach your last choice. Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger
than 2.

You may skip numbers, leave some choices unranked, and rank options
equally. Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
choices, and ranked below all ranked choices.

To vote "no, no matter what", rank "Further Discussion" as more desirable
than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the "Further Discussion"
choice and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank. (Note: if the

"Further Discussion" choice by the voting software).

Finally, mail the filled out ballot to: gr_priv...@vote.debian.org.

Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that
your reply inserts.

NOTE: The vote must be GPG signed (or PGP signed) with your key that is
in the Debian keyring. You may, if you wish, choose to send a signed,
encrypted ballot: use the vote key appended below for encryption.

The voting software (Devotee) accepts mail that either contains only an
unmangled OpenPGP message (RFC 2440 compliant), or a PGP/MIME mail
(RFC 3156 compliant). To avoid problems I suggest you use PGP/MIME.


VOTING SECRECY

This is a non-secret vote.  After the voting period is over the details on
who voted what will be published.  During the vote itself the only
information that will be published is who voted. 

You can encrypt your message to the voting system to keep your vote secret
until the end of the voting period.  The software will also try to keep
your vote secret and will encrypt the reply it sends to you.

Debian Project Leader Elections 2016: Call for nominations

2016-03-05 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

According to the constitution (5.2. Appointment), project
leader elections should begin "six weeks before the leadership
post becomes vacant, or (if it is too late already) immediately."

The new project leader term starts on Friday the 17th of April,
2016.  The time line looks like:

| Period | Start| End|
|+--+|
| Nomination | Sunday, March  6th, 2016 | Saturday, March 12th, 2016 |
| Campaign   | Sunday, March 13th, 2016 | Saturday, April 2nd, 2016 |
| Vote   | Sunday, April  3rd, 2016 | Saturday, April 16th, 2016 |

Prospective leaders should be familiar with the constitution, but
just to review: there's a one week period when interested
developers can nominate themselves and announce their platform,
followed by a three week period intended for campaigning, followed
by two weeks for the election itself.

I intend to collect platform statements from the candidates, and
publish them at http://www.debian.org/vote/2016/platforms/ at the
end of the nomination period, which means around March 13th.

I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in
wml or HTML, to the secretary at least a day before the
publication date.

The format of the web page is open to discussion, but I suggest
there be at least three sections:
- Introduction / Biography
- Major Goal / Meat of the platform
- Rebuttal.

The candidates can make a rebuttal.  I would like to receive them
in the first week of the campaign period, so I can publish them
around March 19th.

Details and results for the vote will be published at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2016/vote_001

Please make sure that nominations are sent to (or cc:'d to)
debian-vote, and are cryptographically signed.

GR: Update to the standard resolution procedure: last call for votes

2015-12-11 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

This is the last call for votes.  You still have about 23 hours
left to vote.

 Voting period starts  2015-11-29 00:00:00 UTC
 Votes must be received by 2015-12-12 23:59:59 UTC

The following ballot is for voting on updating the standard resolution
procedure.

This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.
You may see the constitution at https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.
For voting questions or problems contact secret...@debian.org.

The details of the general resolution can be found at:
https://www.debian.org/vote/2015/vote_003

The first option will modify the constitution and so requires a 3:1 majority.

Also, note that you can get a fresh ballot any time before the end of
the vote by sending a signed mail to
   bal...@vote.debian.org
with the subject "gr_srp".

To vote you need to be a Debian Developer.


HOW TO VOTE

First, read the full text of the platform.

To cast a vote, it is necessary to send this ballot filled out to a
dedicated e-mail address, in a signed message, as described below.
The dedicated email address this ballot should be sent to is:

  gr_...@vote.debian.org

The form you need to fill out is contained at the bottom of this
message, marked with two lines containing the characters
'-=-=-=-=-=-'. Do not erase anything between those lines, and do not
change the choice names.

There are 2 choices in the form, which you may rank with numbers between
1 and 2. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1.
Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you
reach your last choice.  Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger
than 2.

You may skip numbers, leave some choices unranked, and rank options
equally.  Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
choices, and ranked below all ranked choices.

To vote "no, no matter what", rank "Further Discussion" as more desirable
than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the "Further Discussion"
choice and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank.  (Note: if the
"Further Discussion" choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other
unranked choices, if any -- no special consideration is given to the
"Further Discussion" choice by the voting software).

Finally, mail the filled out ballot to: gr_...@vote.debian.org.

Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that
your reply inserts.

NOTE: The vote must be GPG signed (or PGP signed) with your key that is
in the Debian keyring.  You may, if you wish, choose to send a signed,
encrypted ballot: use the vote key appended below for encryption.

The voting software (Devotee) accepts mail that either contains only an
unmangled OpenPGP message (RFC 2440 compliant), or a PGP/MIME mail
(RFC 3156 compliant).  To avoid problems I suggest you use PGP/MIME.

Hi,

I'm withdrawing this GR under constituion A.5 since nothing
happened with it over 6 weeks.  You have 1 week to object.

If you want to continue this, I suggest someone proposes a text

Debian Project Leader Elections 2015: Correct ballot

2015-04-02 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

PLEASE READ!!!

Just to make sure that everybody understand.  In the original
ballot there was an error where there were 2 Choise 1 lines,
both for Mehdi Dogguy and Gergely Nagy.  If you used that ballot,
your vote for Gergely Nagy ended up as being the vote for Mehdi
Dogguy and Gergely Nagy ended up as empty.  Please check that what
devotee mailed to you was the vote you wanted to do.  If not,
please revote.  (I suspect that maybe 3 people who have already
voted used the wrong ballot.)

Please use the correct ballot.  Here is the corrected ballot again:

Debian Project Leader Elections 2015: Call for votes [corrected]

2015-03-31 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

The previous ballot had an error in it.  Here is a fixed version:

 Voting period starts  Wed Apr  1 00:00:00 UTC 2015
 Votes must be received by Tue Apr 14 23:59:59 UTC 2015

This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.
You may see the constitution at http://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.
For voting questions or problems contact secret...@debian.org.

The details of the candidate platform can be found at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2015/platforms/

Also, note that you can get a fresh ballot any time before the end of
the vote by sending a mail to
   bal...@vote.debian.org
with the subject leader2015.

To vote you need to be a Debian Developer.


HOW TO VOTE

First, read the full text of the platform.

To cast a vote, it is necessary to send this ballot filled out to a
dedicated e-mail address, in a signed message, as described below.
The dedicated email address this ballot should be sent to is:

  leader2...@vote.debian.org

The form you need to fill out is contained at the bottom of this
message, marked with two lines containing the characters
'-=-=-=-=-=-'. Do not erase anything between those lines, and do not
change the choice names.

There are 4 choices in the form, which you may rank with numbers between
1 and 4. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1.
Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you
reach your last choice.  Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger
than 3.

You may skip numbers, leave some choices unranked, and rank options
equally.  Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
choices, and ranked below all ranked choices.

To vote no, no matter what, rank None Of The Above as more desirable
than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the None Of The Above
choice and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank.  (Note: if the
None Of The Above choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other
unranked choices, if any -- no special consideration is given to the
None Of The Above choice by the voting software).

Finally, mail the filled out ballot to: leader2...@vote.debian.org.

Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters () that
your reply inserts.

NOTE: The vote must be GPG signed (or PGP signed) with your key that is
in the Debian keyring.  You may, if you wish, choose to send a signed,
encrypted ballot: use the vote key appended below for encryption.

The voting software (Devotee) accepts mail that either contains only an
unmangled OpenPGP message (RFC 2440 compliant), or a PGP/MIME mail
(RFC 3156 compliant).  To avoid problems I suggest you use PGP/MIME.

General resolution: Limiting the term of technical committee members

2014-12-18 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx

 Voting period starts  00:00:00 UTC on Friday, December 19th, 2014
 Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC on Thursday, January 8th, 2015

The following ballot is for voting on limiting the term of the technical
committee members.

This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.
You may see the constitution at http://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.
For voting questions or problems contact secret...@debian.org.

The details of the general resolution can be found at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2014/vote_004

Both proposals aim at creating a regular turn-over of Technical
Committee members, by enforcing a term limit of about four years. The
proposals differ in the way they react to resignations or removals of TC
members for reasons other than term limit.

- 'Option 1' chooses to leave regular term limits unaffected by
  resignation/removals, which could result in more than 2 TC members
  leaving the TC during the same year, in such events.

- 'Option 2' chooses to subtract the number of resignations/removals
  from the required number of expiries, which could result in some TC
  members exceeding the term limit, in such events.

NOTE: this is a very short summary of each option. Voters are strongly
encouraged to read the full options at the URL above.

Both options modify the constitution and so require a 3:1 majority.

Also, note that you can get a fresh ballot any time before the end of
the vote by sending a signed mail to
   bal...@vote.debian.org
with the subject gr_ctteterm.

To vote you need to be a Debian Developer.

 Hi!
 
 This is the revised draft GR proposal (please see below); I'm looking
 for sponsors now.

Since this or the other proposol failed to reach the needed amount of
sponsors, the TC has made a decision and there wasn't any activity
about this over 4 weeks I'm expiring this GR.  You have 1 week to
object to this.

(This doesn't have anything to do with the one that was started by
Matthew Vernon.)

Debian Project Leader Elections 2014: Call for nominations

2014-03-02 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

According to the constitution (5.2. Appointment), project
leader elections should begin six weeks before the leadership
post becomes vacant, or (if it is too late already) immediately.

The new project leader term starts on Thursday the 17th of April,
2014.  The time line looks like:

| Period | Start| End
|
|+--+--|
| Nomination | Monday, March  3th, 2014 | Sunday, March  9th, 2014 |
| Campaign   | Monday, March 10th, 2014 | Sunday, March 30th, 2014 |
| Vote   | Monday, March 31st, 2014 | Sunday, April 13th, 2014 |

Prospective leaders should be familiar with the constitution, but
just to review: there's a one week period when interested
developers can nominate themselves and announce their platform,
followed by a three week period intended for campaigning, followed
by two weeks for the election itself.

I intend to collect platform statements from the candidates, and
publish them at http://www.debian.org/vote/2014/platforms/ at the
end of the nomination period, which means around March 10th.

I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in
wml or HTML, to the secretary at least a day before the
publication date.

The format of the web page is open to discussion, but I suggest
there be at least three sections:
- Introduction / Biography
- Major Goal / Meat of the platform
- Rebuttal.

The candidates can make a rebuttal.  I would like to receive them
in the first week of the campaign period, so I can publish them
around March 17th.

Details and results for the vote will be published at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2014/vote_001

Please make sure that nominations are sent to (or cc:'d to)
debian-vote, and are cryptographically signed.

Debian Project Leader Elections 2013: Call for nominations

2013-03-02 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

According to the constitution (5.2. Appointment), project
leader elections should begin six weeks before the leadership
post becomes vacant, or (if it is too late already) immediately.

The new project leader term starts on Tuesday the 17th of April,
2013.  The time line looks like:

| Period | Start| End|
|+--+|
| Nomination | Sunday, March  3th, 2013 | Saturday, March  9th, 2013 |
| Campaign   | Sunday, March 10th, 2013 | Saturday, March 30th, 2013 |
| Vote   | Sunday, March 31st, 2013 | Saturday, April 13th, 2013 |

Prospective leaders should be familiar with the constitution, but
just to review: there's a one week period when interested
developers can nominate themselves and announce their platform,
followed by a three week period intended for campaigning, followed
by two weeks for the election itself.

I intend to collect platform statements from the candidates, and
publish them at http://www.debian.org/vote/2013/platforms/ at the
end of the nomination period, which means around March 10th.

I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in
wml or HTML, to the secretary at least a day before the
publication date.

The format of the web page is open to discussion, but I suggest
there be at least three sections:
- Introduction / Biography
- Major Goal / Meat of the platform
- Rebuttal.

The candidates can make a rebuttal.  I would like to receive them
in the first week of the campaign period, so I can publish them
around March 17th.

Details and results for the vote will be published at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2013/vote_001

Please make sure that nominations are sent to (or cc:'d to)
debian-vote, and are cryptographically signed.

General Resolution: Diversity statement, first call for votes

2012-05-19 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

This is the first call for votes for the General Resolution about
a diversity statement.

 Voting period starts  00:00:00 UTC on Sunday,   May  20th, 2012
 Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC on Saturday, June  2nd, 2012

The following ballot is for voting on a diversity statement.
This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.
You may see the constitution at http://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.
For voting questions or problems contact secret...@debian.org.

The details of the general resolution can be found at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2012/vote_002

Also, note that you can get a fresh ballot any time before the end of
the vote by sending a signed mail to
   bal...@vote.debian.org
with the subject diversity.

HOW TO VOTE

First, read the full text of the platform.

To cast a vote, it is necessary to send this ballot filled out to a
dedicated e-mail address, in a signed message, as described below.
The dedicated email address this ballot should be sent to is:

  divers...@vote.debian.org

The form you need to fill out is contained at the bottom of this
message, marked with two lines containing the characters
'-=-=-=-=-=-'. Do not erase anything between those lines, and do not
change the choice names.

There are 2 choices in the form, which you may rank with numbers between
1 and 2. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1.
Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you
reach your last choice.  Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger
than 2.

You may skip numbers, leave some choices unranked, and rank options
equally.  Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
choices, and ranked below all ranked choices.

To vote no, no matter what, rank Further Discussion as more desirable
than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the Further Discussion
choice and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank.  (Note: if the
Further Discussion choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other
unranked choices, if any -- no special consideration is given to the
Further Discussion choice by the voting software).

Finally, mail the filled out ballot to: divers...@vote.debian.org.

Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters () that
your reply inserts.

NOTE: The vote must be GPG signed (or PGP signed) with your key that is
in the Debian keyring.  You may, if you wish, choose to send a signed,
encrypted ballot: use the vote key appended below for encryption.

The voting software (Devotee) accepts mail that either contains only an
unmangled OpenPGP message (RFC 2440 compliant), or a PGP/MIME mail
(RFC 3156 compliant).  To avoid problems I suggest you use PGP/MIME.

The timeline is:

 Voting period starts  00:00:00 UTC on Saturday, April  2nd, 2011
 Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC on Friday,   April 15th, 2011

This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.

Also, note that you can get a fresh ballot any time before the end of
the vote by sending a mail to

with the subject leader2011.


HOW TO VOTE

DPL Elections 2011: second call for votes

2011-04-09 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

This is the second call for votes for the Debian Project Leader
Elections 2011.  The timeline is:

 Voting period starts  00:00:00 UTC on Saturday, April  2nd, 2011
 Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC on Friday,   April 15th, 2011

This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.
You may see the constitution at http://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.
For voting questions or problems contact secret...@debian.org.

The details of the candidate platform can be found at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2011/platforms/

Also, note that you can get a fresh ballot any time before the end of
the vote by sending a mail to
   bal...@vote.debian.org
with the subject leader2011.


HOW TO VOTE

First, read the full text of the platform.

To cast a vote, it is necessary to send this ballot filled out to a
dedicated e-mail address, in a signed message, as described below.
The dedicated email address this ballot should be sent to is:

  leader2...@vote.debian.org

The form you need to fill out is contained at the bottom of this
message, marked with two lines containing the characters
'-=-=-=-=-=-'. Do not erase anything between those lines, and do not
change the choice names.

There are 2 choices in the form, which you may rank with numbers between
1 and 2. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1.
Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you
reach your last choice.  Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger
than 2.

You may skip numbers, leave some choices unranked, and rank options
equally.  Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
choices, and ranked below all ranked choices.

To vote no, no matter what, rank None Of The Above as more desirable
than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the None Of The Above
choice and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank.  (Note: if the
None Of The Above choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other
unranked choices, if any -- no special consideration is given to the
None Of The Above choice by the voting software).

Finally, mail the filled out ballot to: leader2...@vote.debian.org.

Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters () that
your reply inserts.

NOTE: The vote must be GPG signed (or PGP signed) with your key that is
in the Debian keyring.  You may, if you wish, choose to send a signed,
encrypted ballot: use the vote key appended below for encryption.

The voting software (Devotee) accepts mail that either contains only an
unmangled OpenPGP message (RFC 2440 compliant), or a PGP/MIME mail
(RFC 3156 compliant).  To avoid problems I suggest you use PGP/MIME.

Debian Project Leader Elections 2011: Call for nominations

2011-03-04 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx

Hi,

According to the constitution (5.2. Appointment), project
leader elections should begin six weeks before the leadership
post becomes vacant, or (if it is too late already) immediately.

The new project leader term starts on Sunday the 17th of April,
2011.  The time line looks like:

| Period | Start| End|
|+--+|
| Nomination | Saturday, March  5th, 2011 | Friday, March 11th, 2011 |
| Campaign   | Saturday, March 12th, 2011 | Friday, April  1st, 2011 |
| Vote   | Saturday, April  2th, 2011 | Friday, April 15th, 2011 |

Prospective leaders should be familiar with the constitution, but
just to review: there's a one week period when interested
developers can nominate themselves and announce their platform,
followed by a three week period intended for campaigning, followed
by two weeks for the election itself.

I intend to collect platform statements from the candidates, and
publish them at http://www.debian.org/vote/2011/platforms/ at the
end of the nomination period, which means around March 12th.

I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in
HTML, to the secretary at least a couple of days before the
publication date.

The format of the web page is open to discussion, but I suggest
there be at least three sections:
- Introduction / Biography
- Major Goal / Meat of the platform
- Rebuttal.

The candidates can make a rebuttal.  I would like to receive them
in the first week of the campaign period, so I can publish them
around March 19th.

Details and results for the vote will be published at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2011/vote_001

Please make sure that nominations are sent to (or cc:'d to)
debian-vote, and are cryptographically signed.

 I believe that also (a) falls under §A.1.6, but it's your call.
 *If* you disagree with that interpretation, I hereby formally introduce
 it as an amendment and, as the GR proposer, I hereby also accept it.

I believe the text has the same intentions as the orignal, but
that it does alter the meaning.  Which means I'm resetting the
discussion period.

It would be nice that people could confirm that they have
no problem with this changed text so that there is no doubt that
this text has enough seconds.

dedicated e-mail address, in a signed message, as described below.
The dedicated email address this ballot should be sent to is:

  leader2...@vote.debian.org

change the choice names.

There are 5 choices in the form, which you may rank with numbers between
1 and 5. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1.
Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you
reach your last choice.  Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger

choices, and ranked below all ranked choices.

To vote no, no matter what, rank None Of The Above as more desirable
than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the None Of The Above
choice and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank.  (Note: if the
None Of The Above choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other

None Of The Above choice by the voting software).

Finally, mail the filled out ballot to: leader2...@vote.debian.org.

Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters () that
your reply inserts.

DPL 2010: Second call for votes

2010-04-08 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

This is the second call for votes for the Debian Project Leader
Elections 2010.  The timeline is:

 Voting period starts  00:00:00 UTC on Friday,   April  2nd, 2010
 Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC on Thursday, April 15th, 2010

This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.
You may see the constitution at http://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.
For voting questions or problems contact secret...@debian.org.

The details of the candidate platforms can be found at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2010/platforms/

Also, note that you can get a fresh ballot any time before the end of
the vote by sending a mail to
   bal...@vote.debian.org
with the subject leader2010.


HOW TO VOTE

First, read the full text of the platforms and rebuttals.

To cast a vote, it is necessary to send this ballot filled out to a
dedicated e-mail address, in a signed message, as described below.
The dedicated email address this ballot should be sent to is:

  leader2...@vote.debian.org

The form you need to fill out is contained at the bottom of this
message, marked with two lines containing the characters
'-=-=-=-=-=-'. Do not erase anything between those lines, and do not
change the choice names.

There are 5 choices in the form, which you may rank with numbers between
1 and 5. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1.
Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you
reach your last choice.  Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger
than 5.

You may skip numbers, leave some choices unranked, and rank options
equally.  Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
choices, and ranked below all ranked choices.

To vote no, no matter what, rank None Of The Above as more desirable
than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the None Of The Above
choice and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank.  (Note: if the
None Of The Above choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other
unranked choices, if any -- no special consideration is given to the
None Of The Above choice by the voting software).

Finally, mail the filled out ballot to: leader2...@vote.debian.org.

Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters () that
your reply inserts.

NOTE: The vote must be GPG signed (or PGP signed) with your key that is
in the Debian keyring.  You may, if you wish, choose to send a signed,
encrypted ballot: use the vote key appended below for encryption.

The voting software (Devotee) accepts mail that either contains only an
unmangled OpenPGP message (RFC 2440 compliant), or a PGP/MIME mail
(RFC 3156 compliant).  To avoid problems I suggest you use PGP/MIME.

Platforms.

2010-03-15 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi Wouter,
Hi Charles,

I'm still waiting for your platforms.  I would have liked to
publish them last Friday, and already postponed it to today.

If I don't receive them by tomorrow around this hour I will
start to publish the others that I did receive.

I'm also going to postpone the rebuttal and would like to
publish that at the 22nd.

Debian Project Leader Elections 2010: Call for nominations

2010-03-04 Thread Debian Project Secretary - Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

According to the constitution (5.2. Appointment), project
leader elections should begin six weeks before the leadership
post becomes vacant, or (if it is too late already) immediately.

The new project leader term starts on Saturday the 17th of April,
2010.  The time line looks like:

| Period | Start| End|
|+--+|
| Nomination | Friday, March  5th, 2010 | Thursday, March 11th, 2010 |
| Campaign   | Friday, March 12th, 2010 | Thursday, April  1st, 2010 |
| Vote   | Friday, April  2th, 2010 | Thursday, April 15th, 2010 |

Prospective leaders should be familiar with the constitution, but
just to review: there's a one week period when interested
developers can nominate themselves and announce their platform,
followed by a three week period intended for campaigning, followed
by two weeks for the election itself.

I intend to collect platform statements from the candidates, and
publish them at http://www.debian.org/vote/2010/platforms/ at the
end of the nomination period, which means around March 12th.

I suggest that the candidates send the platform, preferably in
HTML, to the secretary at least a couple of days before the
publication date.

The format of the web page is open to discussion, but I suggest
there be at least three sections:
- Introduction / Biography
- Major Goal / Meat of the platform
- Rebuttal.

The candidates can make a rebuttal.  I would like to receive them
in the first week of the campaign period, so I can publish them
around March 19th.

Details and results for the vote will be published at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2010/vote_001

Please make sure that nominations are sent to (or cc:'d to)
debian-vote, and are cryptographically signed.

Debian Project Secretary
