Hi folks, We are well into the second day of the constitutional amendment general resolution to disambiguate section 4.1.5. The web page for the vote (http://www.debian.org/vote/2003/vote_0003) has been updated. Some of the interesting tidbits are that the quorum determination method has been automated, and it shows: Current Developer Count = 922 Q ( sqrt(#devel) / 2 ) = 15.182226450689 K ( 3 x Q ) = 45.5466793520669 Also, there is a list of all the 922 developers who have a) got a key in the debian keyring b) Belong to group 800 according to Debian LDAP (the Debian group) c) Have the fingerprint of their key registered in LDAP The complete list, and the fingerprints of the corresponding keys, can be seen at http://www.debian.org/vote/2003/gr_sec415_quorum.log That page also has a link to the statistics being kept about this vote (http://master.debian.org/%7Esrivasta/gr_sec415.html), where you can see an hourly updated view of the rate at which ballots are being received, the numbers of ballots passing through the various stages of processing, and the names of the people who have voted so far (http://master.debian.org/%7Esrivasta/gr_sec415_voters.txt) At the time of writing, 94 ballots have been received, 17 rejections sent, 72 votes tallied for 69 unique votes. A further 5 votes are awaiting manual scrutiny (see below). There is a dummy tally sheet in place while the voting period is open, which shall be replaced by the real thing when the voting is done. One of the glitches that has shown up in this vote is that if people sign the ballot with a sub key, and the fingerprint of that sub key is not registered in LDAP, the stable version of GPG (vote.debian.org runs woody) does not provide information about the primary key, so Devotee has no way of correlating the signing key with the LDAP information. This shows up as the difference between ballots that have passed the gpg check, and thse that have passed LDAP scrutiny on the statistics page. Devotee (DEbian VOTE Engine) is now available on a public source code repository, namely srivasta@debian.org--2003-primary at http://arch.debian.org/arch/private/srivasta/archive-2003/. The vote is being conducted with the latest patch release from the devel branch of devotee. manoj -- Benny Hill: Would you like a peanut? Girl: No, thank you, I don't want to be under obligation. Benny Hill: You won't be under obligation for a peanut. It's not as if it were a chocolate bar or something.
