The links to Andrew Wafaa's 'announcement' and 'platform' seem to be wrong. They link to the poll itself.

It seems this poll has problems as well - I noticed that Aaron Luna is listed 4 times, Sarah is listed 3, and the others are listed once. I'd like some clarification as to why this is (or ask that the poll be recreated again with each candidate listed once) so it's really clear who's getting the votes and easy to evaluate the results when it's over. -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, of course, but that's another day. Now I simply want to know who they are and what they propose, to study them. I do not know where they are :-( I suppose there is a site for the speeches, open, and another another for voting that needs ID. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

I see. Not good. All five names are repeated, twice. If the board is five members and there are only 5 candidates, I see no point in voting... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Same here. I too tried to find platforms without logging in first and could not. On opening https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/polls/read/pluskalm/52970/opensuse-board-ele... with a virgin Firefox profile I applied five Ctrl-+es, all necessary to be able to read comfortably with my browser's default text size. As none of those platform links link to opensuse.org pages, which would lead to Firefox applying the (remembered) zoom level just applied, six of the other eight links lead to more mousetype[1] pages, while the other two are only somewhat better, requiring three rather than five zoom increments. Andrew's platform links on https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/polls/read/pluskalm/52970/opensuse-board-ele... do not lead to anything that looks like a platform. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election_rules , the "full" election rules from the first paragraph on https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election#Phase_2:_Election says the next election will take place at the end of 2013. http://bit.ly/2jYi5xt looks like a spammer URL.

Only two positions are to be filled via the current election. The entire board is not elected or re-elected at one time.

I suggest you ask in 11 months or so. I'm >60.

The poll linked in Martin Plaskal's mail (delivered to me Saturday 9:26 CET; follow the thread up to initiation) contains link https:// connect.opensuse.org//pg/polls/read/pluskalm/52970/opensuse-board- election-20162017 with text "Two seats are contested in this election, meaning each openSUSE member has two votes to cast." (It is even quoted by You!) and link to https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election_rules
The first quote, copied from yesterday page, is different than the quote from today. It contains a critical difference: yesterday it did not say "Two seats are contested...".
I don't miss anything...
I did. :-/ -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Only two positions are to be filled via the current election. The entire board is not elected or re-elected at one time.
But this is not said in the voting page!
It isn't?
https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/polls/read/pluskalm/52970/opensuse- board-election-20162017 says "Two seats are contested in this election, meaning each openSUSE member has two votes to cast."
No, it doesn't. I was told to go to:
https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/polls/read/pluskalm/52970/opensuse-bo ard-election-20162017
where it says (loaded yesterday night):
«Welcome to the election of the 2017 openSUSE board. The board consists of one appointed chairperson and 5 elected members who may serve up to 2 consecutive terms on the board.
To clarify - Each openSUSE member has TWO VOTES they can use for this election
Note that no single organization or company can control more than 40 percent of the electable board seats (more than 2 seats). Please read the full description of the election process.»
Notice that the words "two seats" is not there. I reload the page and now it says:

Yes, it has changed. The phrase: Two seats are contested in this election, meaning each openSUSE member has two votes to cast. has appeared today when loading the page fresh, as proved by my copy paste above.

It's how the board elections have always been done in the past. The number of votes is the same as the number of open seats, and the only time we've voted for the entire board was the first time - the terms have never all expired at the same time.

I’m also a kibitzer, but where’s the problem (apart from that it doesn’t conform to your expectations)? There’s a certain small risk that someone may cast all their votes for one person, which would make them a lot more likely to win if there was a small pool of electors and a large number being elected. That’s easy to check for. Are there other disadvantages to these voting rules?

Hello
It is my pleasure to announce that voting for openSUSE board [0] has begun [2] - so please don't forget to cast your vote at:
done, but I noticed each line of the poll is doubled (two copies of each line)
It seems this poll has problems as well - I noticed that Aaron Luna is listed 4 times, Sarah is listed 3, and the others are listed once.
Martin amended it later, the correct url is:

Thanks, now I see each candidate listed twice - seems odd, but I guess if someone wants to vote twice for an individual, that's an option.

I'd like some clarification as to why this is (or ask that the poll be recreated again with each candidate listed once) so it's really clear who's getting the votes and easy to evaluate the results when it's over.
Hello Issue is being investigated (although it seems to be random), thanks for bringing this topic to our attention.
