Just FYI, the first FESCo election finished some weeks ago (*1) and we (or, to be more precise: Toshio Kuratomi -- he wrote most of the voting app together with spot and some others) currently work out the details for future elections. Here are some comments that I send to Toshio in private some days ago that might be of interest for this discussion, too (stripped down slightly -- I removed those parts that were relevant for Extras only): > - the voting app worked fine afaics > > - only a small number of people voted -- next time we should make sure > that we send a mail directly to all people that are allowed to vote when > the election starts and one shortly before it ends to those that didn't > vote yet.

BTW, a thread with discussions around the FESCo-Election can be found at: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2006-July/msg00133.html CU thl (*1) -- that reminds be of something else: Should all or at least some of those that were elected into FESCo now be subscribed to be full members of this list? _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board-readonly mailing list fedora-advisory-board-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board-readonly
