Hey,
All elections we held have a pretty weak voter turnout. Weak enough that it's debatable that the outcome represents the voters body opinion. Apart from that everything is fine ;-)
As Henne points out, the board election is probably the component where the inactivity is the most glaring. For members there are some "perks", one of which is to be able to vote for and the other is to be elected to the openSUSE Board. So if we have 500 members (numbers are made up because I was too lazy to look them up ;) ) and 125 vote during board elections what does that say about the other 375?
- - Are they no longer active? - - Are they active contributors but do not care about the board and thus our project governance?
Probably the latter. We certainly can't assume "not voting" = "not active".
One can probably have a very long list of questions about this state. This happens to be the state we are in, and thus to answer the question. Yes, inactive members are an issue.
I was wondering about the meaning of "inactive" when jdd first started the thread last week. Do we have a way of determining who or how many are "inactive"?
Not at the moment.
