Hi, At the time of writing, half an hour into the second week of the vote, we have the lowest participation ever in a Debian project leader election seen so far (ever since we started tracking voting rates). =================================================================== || |Total # of| |Valid|Unique|Rejects| | Multiple || ||Year|Developers|Quorum|Votes|Voters| |% Voting| of Quorum|| ------------------------------------------------------------------- ||2002| 939 | 45.96| 238 | 227 | 40 | 24.17 | 4.94 || ||2003| 831 | 43.24| 200 | 192 | 58 | 23.1 | 4.44 || ||2004| 908 | 45.20| 315 | 230 | 15 | 25.33 | 5.09 || ||2005| 960 | 46.48| 199 | 189 | 19 | 19.68 | 4.07 || ||2006| 972 | 46.81| 129 | 125 | 14 | 12.86 | 2.67 || =================================================================== I am hoping this is merely due to the excellent field of candidates this year. manoj SECOND CALL FOR VOTES FOR THE DEBIAN PROJECT LEADER ELECTION 2006 Voting period starts 00:00:01 UTC on March 19th, 2006. Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC on April 8th, 2006. 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 contact secretary@debian.org. The details of the candidate platforms can be found at: http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/platforms/ HOW TO VOTE First, read the full text of the platforms and rebuttals.. Do not erase anything between the lines below and do not change the choice names. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1. Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue till you reach your last choice. Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger than 8. You may skip numbers. You may rank options equally (as long as all choices X you make fall in the range 1<= X <= 8). Make sure you have read the platforms in detail. 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. Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired choices, and ranked below all ranked choices. (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). Then mail the ballot to: leader2006@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. - - -=-=-=-=-=- Don't Delete Anything Between These Lines =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 52717dc0-26e3-4337-a88b-cc2c260fcb51 [ ] Choice 1: Jeroen van Wolffelaar [ ] Choice 2: Ari Pollak [ ] Choice 3: Steve McIntyre [ ] Choice 4: Anthony Towns [ ] Choice 5: Andreas Schuldei [ ] Choice 6: Jonathan aka Ted Walther [ ] Choice 7: Bill Allombert [ ] Choice 8: None Of The Above - - -=-=-=-=-=- Don't Delete Anything Between These Lines =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The responses to a valid vote shall be signed by the vote key created for this vote.
