Please forgive me for asking 3 stupid questions: 1) if Henne was being replaced (together with Pascal), how did he manage to get 125 votes?; 2) who, in fact got elected to the board?; and 3) adding up 125+72+71+64+39+23 does not result in a total of 220 votes ("out of 469...."). How is the sum of 220 votes you quote above arrived at? Thank you for your patience.

Basil, Henne at first didn't say he was going to re-run, he could because he had only ran once. Henne is now going to serve his second term, and Peter Linnel going to replace Pascal, who couldn't run because he has server twice. On voting each member got to vote twice as their two seats open. --Pup -- ----------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!

Thank you, Chuck, for this quick response - much appreciated. But, to be honest, I am confused. Henne was elected in the same year as Pascal (2008) [http://en.opensuse.org/Archive:Board_2008], and in the list of board members after the 2009 elections he is shown, together with Pascal, as a board member: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board Does this mean that in both 2008 and 2009 he was elected as a one-year board member? Even if this was the case, doesn't this mean that he has done the hard-slog of 2 years on the board? I am sorry, but this is all very confusing. No doubt I am wrong, but then perhaps the notifications and lists of board members should be better presented so as not to cause confusion. Just a suggestion on my part, of course. As you correctly point out, according to the election rules each member can cast one vote for each of the candidates for the available vacancies on the board. Accepting this, the figures provided in the results of the election still do not add up according to my calculations and based on what has been stated so far. My apologies. I would be most grateful if it be pointed out where my calculations and understanding of the past election results is suspect. Thank you.

I did. Which is why I am asking the questions. If Henne was elected in 2008 together with Pascal then his time was up. But the rules also talk about people being elected for a 2-year term are to be elected before those who are candidates for 1-year term. So in which category did Pascal and Henne belong back in the 2008 election - 2-year or 1-year term? (And Henne is shown as a board member after the 2009 election.) So why isn't this clearly spelt out when the elections are announced: so-and-so is to be elected for a 2-year term and so-and-so for a 1-year term? This is all I am asking as I am confused - nothing more and nothing less. As I stated, perhaps there should be more clarity about what is announced after each election as to who are now the board members and for what period. Also as stated, this is just a suggestion.

Short/obvious answer: google your question, i.e. "opensuse board members". Detailed answer: You just have to go to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election_2010 which was part of the original mail and click on some "openSUSE Board" link or use the search at the top of the wiki and search for "Board" or "openSUSE Board" or even use google and search for "openSUSE Board", you might even add "members". It will all lead you to http://en.opensuse.org/Board and there you can see the members. Now - until it was updated - you will have to do some maths and subtract the members who got "replaced" by the two new who were mentioned in the original email and you are almost there.

All board seats usually have an election period of 2 years, and you can serve up to two subsequent periods. As Pascal already was a member of the first 'bootstrapping' board 2007 and got elected for 2 years 2008, he has to pause now for this election period. Henne wasn't member of the first board, and is now starting his second period. We have a graphic showing the board membership timeline: http://img.susepaste.org/48399583 As you can see, we will have an election again next year, with 3 seats to get elected. Rupert and Pavol may candidate again, but Bryen has to step back in the next elections as he already served the last two periodes in the board. Greetings
It would be a good practice to not for each board member the election date and the due term

oh... so it's the term "election period" that is confusing. May be because language differences. there is an election each year, so "election period" can be seen as the time between two elections (that is one year). As you explain it, it's the lenght of time one is elected. may be we could rewrite a little the rules to make them more easy to understand, stating that somebody can be elected like any american president (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Co...) this amendment says: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once" we could say: "No person shall be elected to the openSUSE board more than twice in a row, and no person who has held the board for more than one years of a term to which some other person was elected as board member shall be elected to the board more than once. One year after the end of his last term, a former member of the board can be candidate again." or anything similar (notice the work "term" used for the time a President is elected) thanks for the clarification jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://pizzanetti.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
jdd, As part of the Foundation effort, the current election rules may need some small wording updates (I noticed some grammatical errors for example). I added your proposed clarification to the Foundation portal page so that it doesn't get lost and to help us remember to resolve the current confusing wording. Alan

All board seats usually have an election period of 2 years, and you can serve up to two subsequent periods.

we could say:
"No person shall be elected to the openSUSE board more than twice in a row, and no person who has held the board for more than one years of a term to which some other person was elected as board member shall be elected to the board more than once.
One year after the end of his last term, a former member of the board can be candidate again."
or anything similar (notice the work "term" used for the time a President is elected)
thanks for the clarification

This makes the total number of votes cast 414 and these where cast by 220 members out of a total of 469, right? Meaning that some 26 people did not cast a second vote, right? :-) .
