The links to Andrew Wafaa's 'announcement' and 'platform' seem to
be wrong.
They link to the poll itself.
And as everytime there are too many good candidates and not enough votes to
give ;-)

I'd like some clarification as to why this is (or ask that the poll be

who's getting the votes and easy to evaluate the results when it's over.

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-el…
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-el…
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. My email is set to discard
messages that contain URLs that look like that. I'm surprised this thread's OP
made it into my SUSE folder.
Yi yi yi yi yi yi yi. - - - - - - - to this election process. :-(
If the board is five members and there are only 5
candidates, I see no

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. Other than MD appointments, I
rarely make commitments one day in advance, much less one year.

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 I don't miss anything...

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! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----

No, this argument doesn't hold. E.g. I don't know of any
democracy where
you can cast as many votes as positions/seats are available. (Doesn't
need to be a nation, also applies to much smaller organizations like the
size of opensuse)
P.S.: I'm following this discussion as outsider, I'm not involved in the
process on either side.

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

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?

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.
