Hi, At the time of writing, less than two days before the end of the vote, the standing are still lower than expected; here is a comparison with recent years (all but 2007 numbers are the final tally number): =================================================================== || |Total # of| |Valid|Unique|Rejects| | Multiple || ||Year|Developers|Quorum|Votes|Voters| |% Voting| of Quorum|| ------------------------------------------------------------------- ||1999| 347 | 27.90| | 208 | | 59.94 | 7.45 || ||2000| 347 | 43.24| | 216 | | 62.25 | 7.74 || ||2001| ?? | ?? | | 311 | | | || ||2002| 939 | 45.96| 509 | 475 | 122 | 50.58 | 10.34 || ||2003| 831 | 43.24| 510 | 488 | 200 | 58.72 | 11.28 || ||2004| 908 | 45.20| 506 | 482 | 52 | 53.08 | 10.66 || ||2005| 965 | 46.60| 531 | 504 | 69 | 52.23 | 10.82 || ||2006| 972 | 46.88| 436 | 421 | 41 | 43.31 | 8.98 || ||2007| 1036 | 48.28| 427 | 398 | 206 | 38.41 | 8.24 || =================================================================== If you have been waiting for the last minute to cast your vote, this is it. I would not advice waiting for the 11th hour, since mistakes happen: people forget to sign their ballot, send it to the wrong address, or have problems with their MUA mangling the ballot; leave it too late and you shall not have time to correct the error. So, if you have not yet voted, go vote. manoj FINAL CALL FOR VOTES FOR THE DEBIAN PROJECT LEADER ELECTION 2007 ----- ---- --- ----- --- --- ------ ------- ------ -------- ---- Voting period starts 00:00:01 UTC on March 18th, 2007. Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC on April 7th, 2007. 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/2007/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 9. You may skip numbers. You may rank options equally (as long as all choices X you make fall in the range 1 <= X <= 9). Please 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: leader2007@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. You may, if you wish, choose to send a signed, encrypted ballot. Devotee accepts mail that either contains only an unmangled OpenPGP message (RFC 2440 compliant), or a PGP/MIME mail (RFC 3156 compliant). - - -=-=-=-=-=- Don't Delete Anything Between These Lines =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- e0acebd2-71f1-4df8-ae4d-50355ad7aa81 [ ] Choice 1: Wouter Verhelst [ ] Choice 2: Aigars Mahinovs [ ] Choice 3: Gustavo Franco [ ] Choice 4: Sam Hocevar [ ] Choice 5: Steve McIntyre [ ] Choice 6: Raphaël Hertzog [ ] Choice 7: Anthony Towns [ ] Choice 8: Simon Richter [ ] Choice 9: 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.
