Hi everyone.

I'm willing to be team leader, if the team likes the idea. Either way, thanks Brent for giving this your time until now, and I hope you still pop in occaisonally.

I think this election was effective in the sense that it worked. We had enough candidates, enough voters (though some might wish for more), and are not hearing strong objections to any particular aspect. I think the first thing we should do as an election team is preserve the procedure, discuss and fix up the weak points, and set our timers for next year.

As to other goals for this team, I think these first elections are one step by the community to working on its commons as such. What other steps would be useful? How can we help in this team? I'd like to hear any ideas...

Daniel

Well, election 0.1 is over. I think it went alright. There's certainly plenty of food for thought for the next time around.

Several folks on the squeak-dev thread about the election said that it felt rushed. I agree. One of the reasons that it felt rushed was me, unfortunately. I'll be stepping down from the Elections Team soon. I've appreciated the chance to lead this team, but don't have the commitment necessary to set aside the time for it.

Ken Causey and I have asked Daniel whether he's willing to serve as team leader. I'll let Daniel post his thoughts about it. I think he's a good choice.

Thanks, Brent _______________________________________________ Elections mailing list Elections@lists.squeakfoundation.org http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/elections
