Alex - A simple procedural question - will voting instructions & ballots be sent through the list or is there an email address we should whitelist to make sure they get through (don't want to inadvertently miss anything) ? Thanks. And good luck to all nominees - looking at the 2007 page it looks like a good crew no matter the results. Responsible voting will definitely take some serious deliberation so make your bio's count gents!

[Emc-users] Voting time again..
Hi all, it's time to have another election for the Board of Directors. The first step is to have nominations. These take place on the emc-users list. To make a nomination, please put NOMINATION in the subject of your message. Nominations must be seconded by another person to be considered; to second a nomination please put SECONDED in the subject. The nominated person should then accept or decline the nomination. Let's start nominations now and run them through Jan 12 2009, 23:59:59 UTC. Like last time, we'll have a wiki page where the nominees can write a bit about their experience and goals if they like: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?BoardElection The Board has asked Michael Cornelius to run the voting for us. Michael is not involved in the EMC project but he is a Free Software advocate in many ways and has graciously offered to help out (like he did last time). The Board will provide him a list of email addresses made from joining the lists of people receiving the emc-users and emc-developers emails. He will send a ballot to each person and have a special email address set up to receive the votes. When voting closes he will report back the names of our new Board members. When the time comes he will give us all specific instructions about how to vote. I wish good luck to the nominees, and give my sincere thanks to everyone on the lists who will participate in setting the future direction of the EMC project.

Re: [Emc-users] voting
Gentlemen, You will notice I said 'gentlemen'. We are not all from Florida but it seems as if most of us are approaching 'geezerhood'. :) I was not ranting about not getting to vote. I was answering the 'for what is is worth - I vote' statement. I was making clear my 'who votes' statement was not misunderstood. I will appreciate the opportunity to vote but as I know how I will vote I can see my vote will not change the outcome. thanks :) Stuart - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I see a few other options but they don't seem as good. Wow, easy to see how this happened, I think this is the best approach to fixing it! Well, it doesn't ONLY happen with Florida punch card voting!

Re: [Emc-users] voting
Gentlemen, I think I now know why I didn't see a ballot. Thanks John K. I have my email set to filter email. Since Michael is not in my address book I wouldn't have seen an email from him. This has happened before. I will try to be more aware in the future. thanks Stuart - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

I thought it was bad when I did that task (previous two elections) +- at that time they put 50 or so names per page, and it took about a dozen pages to get everybody. One page per letter is worse. I understand SF is trying to prevent spammers from harvesting names, but there has got to be a way to allow a legitimate person to capture the entire list at once. > and I copied once for each page.

I see a few other options but they don't seem as good. I'm not on IRC at the moment so they didn't talk to me, but I agree 100%. Ballots should go out to the missed voters, and ALL voters should get the opportunity to return their ballots. > I'm really sorry I screwed this up. > > Chris > > - > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. > Still grepping through log files to find problems?

Re: [Emc-users] voting
Stuart, everyone who participates on this list and/or the emc-developers list is eligible to vote. That being said, due to a mistake I made, I've created a little mess. Let me explain. I generated the list of emails to give Michael by copy/pasting the list from the web-based administration interface for the emc-users and emc-developers mailing lists on sourceforge. This list has a different web page for every letter/number of the alphabet, and I copied once for each page. What I missed was a link at the bottom on SOME of the pages for letters that had too many subscribers whose emails start with that letter. In those cases the sourceforge web interface breaks the letter into two or more pages. For those letters, to my great dismay, I missed some subscribers. There were approximately 148 eligible voters I accidentally left off the list. These were people with emails starting with the letters A,C,D,E,G,J,M,P,S. With the 14% response rate we received this year, this means we are probably missing about 20 votes. Yours is one of them. I've talked to Stephen and Alex and I think we all agree that we should send ballots to these missed folks and extend the voting deadline. I see a few other options but they don't seem as good. I'm really sorry I screwed this up. Chris - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Gentlemen, My question "Who votes?" was not a cynical, rhetorical, apathetic comment. It was a legitimate question. I saw no ballot. I saw no email. I did not have the opportunity to vote. I will now expand on the first question. That way there will be NO confusion as to the meaning of or the reason for my question. What group is quailified to and has permission to vote? My vote wouldn't have changed the outcome but I WOULD have voted if given the opportunity. For what it's worth.
