Election started!

The first Squeak election has been started on CIVS; all voters have
been invited via email. About 334 folks were invited; the email
addresses were gathered from SqP, from SM and from the Japanese
Squeaker community. The election will end at midnight UTC on February
23rd.

Thanks,
Brent

I received nothing so far and I checked my junk folder :).

Re: Election started!

Hi all!

Same here, voted without problems. Good work Brent.
And I must say that it was quite hard - which is good - that means we
have a solid lineup. ;)

Re: Election started!

Hello,
What is the method of calculating winners? Can I rank 5 people with
rank #1 and leave other candidates without rank?
Thank you.

I did not get an invitation. Perhaps because I did not enter my email
address at SqP? Was I supposed to? Did you check?

Re: Election started!

Bert, Stef -

I guess your SqP accounts don't have email addresses. That was a
requirement for getting to vote; I guess I wasn't clear enough in my
instructions :)

I've manually added you to the CIVS list; you should be getting the
email from it soon.

Thanks a lot! This is great to see this community moving.

That would completely waste your vote, because only ranking differences
are counted. The best thing to do IMO is to use all ranks from 1 to 10
so that every candidate gets a unique rank.

This way you can not only support your favorites, but lower the chances
of people you don't want to become members of the board, too. So, if you
don't want a specific person being elected, put him at rank 10. The used
counting method models not only electing, it is "de-electing", too.

Moreover, assigning all possible ranks helps your favorites more than
ranking only them. You have to distinguish them from the rest. Ranking
all candidates uniquely will cause the biggest effect.

Martin

Brent,

I checked SqP and my email is valid.
I cleared out my spam folder this morning, so I can't check it
more carefully.

Does the election software send out reminders?

Brent Vukmer

Re: Election started!

Yanni -

I don't think it does. I'll try and re-add you. Let me know if you
don't get the email.

Absolutely! Whatever the outcome will be, this board will be comprised
of excellent people.

Brent,

I haven't received the invitation, though I'm fulfilling all needed
criteria (SqP account 'sr')...

Re: Election started!

Stephan, I had the system re-send you your invitation. Let me know if
you don't get it.

Thanks,

Same here.. squeakpeople account 'sm'.

Re: Election started!

Simon -

As with several other folks, CIVS thinks it has already sent you an
invitation. I've made it send you another invitation. Let me know if
you don't get the invitation this time.

I got that one - thanks!

Also, be sure that your squeakpeople account is registered with your
current email address... that explains why I didn't get my invitation.
:) (Although at this point you'd probably need to email Brent directly
to get the invitation.)
