[opensuse-project] can i have the right to vote in the current opensuse board elections ??????
hi, i was looking out for the elections since it was announced back at the end of 2016, back then i red the board elections rules at:https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election_rules#Voting and it had a very clear paragraph stating that : "Only openSUSE members may vote" i went to look for the definition of the "openSUSE members" at:https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Members which state:"openSUSE Members are community members that have provided continued and substantial contributions to the openSUSE project, and are given voting rights and the ability to run for the openSUSE board." and the page also state that you have to be accepted in the "members group" at:https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/groups/111/opensuse-members/ that's was sad because it meant that i can't vote but it also seem "FAIR" that you have to do actual contributions to the project. ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** any way today(which the last day to vote) i was checking the opensuse twitter account and i find this link to the voting page:https://connect.opensuse.org/vote/ the page says:You have successfully verified https://www.opensuse.org/openid/user/XXX as your identity with login XXX. You also returned 'XXX@XXX.com' as your email. Your fullname is 'XXX'. where XXX is my identity info i registered on community page, and it seems the page is allowing me to actually vote , i don't know what will happen if i click vote button or if my vote will be counted or not , but this is just so frustrating as i didn't have any chance to study the candidate proposals as i thought i can't vote before this moment. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** any way can you confirm if the rule that i have to be an accepted opensuse member to have the right to vote is still valid or not?? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

ok i see now i randomly chose 2 persons and clicked vote and it didn't work for me saying "You are not a member" it now makes sense i'm sorry to disrupt you, but i didn't have the courage to click the vote button as i was worried it would count my votes and i will not be able to change it, i had to ask you first, but i think that the system needs to be changed to not show the page in the begging i mean it will confuse a lot of people any way thank you sir for your answer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

The reason for this was explained in another post in this list. Basically there was no time to improve it further and test it, considering that the previous page had so many problems that the vote had to be cancelled and postponed, and a new page developed. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

Okay. So, why did you not apply for membership? Or, do you not contribute much or at all? No offence meant with that, BTW, just asking. -Gerry Makaro aka Fraser_Bell on the forums, IRC, and mail at openSUSE.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

no sir you got it wrong i wasn't complaining that i should have the right to vote without applying for a membership in the members group or without making contribution, i just got confused i thought that the voting rules are not valid and the system will let me vote, and Mr.jddjdd@dodin.org and Mr.Carlos E. R. make it clear that all the rules are still valid, i completely support the rule that you have to apply for the "openSUSE members" at:https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Members and you have to contribute to the project to get the right to vote. any way thanks all for your reply to my post -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
