I want everything done in the open with this. I want to avoid any issues with prejudice on my part. So I am making this totally open to the community.

I really like Condorcet Internet Voting Service (CIVS)
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/andru/civs.html
I want to use it in choosing the name. I would like to have the choice done and have someone annouce it at the openSUSE Conference (Sep 17-20).
So I will take all names and add them to the service. I envision having all entries by the Sep 8. Starting the voting on Sep 9 and ending on Sep 16.
My question is who should be allowed to vote? Just memeber of the openSUSE community or having a registration page (location TBD) where I will take all the names and email addresses. What do you think the critera for this voting should be?
I would like to use, all openSUSE community members as of now with the additions of everyone subscribe to openSUSE ML, openSUSE Project email list. The openSLE emai list I host and those that have contacted me privatly. One vote per person and email address.

I'm not trying to put down this initiative. And I commend you for putting some steam into this initiative. But at the same time, I can't help but wonder... Aren't you putting the cart before the horse? Voting a name when the work itself hasn't begun yet on the distribution? I mean, a name should also reflect the sum product. How do we vote on cool names without seeing the product itself? There's a process that should be in place in just about every initiative. But in this case, I just simply feel like it is putting the cart before the horse. -- Bryen Yunashko openSUSE Board Member GNOME-A11y Team Member www.bryen.com (Personal Blog) www.planet-a11y.net (Feed aggregator of the Accessibility Community) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
