Hi, According to our Wiki[1], during the campaign-phase there should be: 1 - plenty of blog entries on the upcoming election by the candidates 2 - interviews with all candidates by the openSUSE news team 3 - a moderated Q&A session on IRC possibly during one of the regular Project meetings or a separate meeting All the candidates have written a platform, so we could consider 1 as done. But 2 and 3 haven't been done. Taking into account that the elections starts on Monday and that tomorrow is public holiday in many part of the world, I think this is not acceptable and that we can not consider the campaign-phase as done. How is people going to decide who to vote if they don't know who we are? Because of that I would like to ask for delaying the elections. You may wonder why 2 and 3 haven't been done. I think that their organisation have started too late and we didn't manage to do it on time. The openSUSE news team is already working on the interviews (2) and they will be published as soon as they received the answers from all the candidates. It could even be that it is published before the voting period starts. In the case of the moderated Q&A session on IRC (3) it was maybe not sure who should organised it. I have expected the elections team to do it, but there is actually no reason why we (the candidates) can not organise it alone. I have already send them a Doodle and I hope we can announce a date rather sooner than later. I know that this is not optimal and I am really sorry if someone doesn't like my email. But I personally do not feel well if, after saying in my platform[2] that I want the board to work transparent, the first thing I do is skipping our own rules without any explanation. I really do not pretend to blame anybody with this email. I just want that we have some more time to make a good campaign, so that openSUSE members have the chance to choose the people who better represent what they think openSUSE should be.
