I have to admit I missed @mike727's announcement. Unfortunately he's just tad short the Karma requirement, as he has 73 points and 100 is the cutoff limit.

However he's welcome to run next term, as I am confident he'll have the required Karma by then :D

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 
My repeated concerns about a council of just 3 seem to have fallen on deaf ears. :(

Right now I am in between jobs. Whilst I'm not job hunting, the rest of my time is mostly spent on a technical article I am writing, I am also researching, planning and developing my DebiaN900 successor and figuring out how I might be able to make a living from it. If I get a job offer and choose to accept it, the time I would be able to dedicate to the council would be drastically reduced. Some councillors have previously had to reduce their contribution without causing too much impact and I thought I might be able to do the same should the situation arise. On a council of 3 however, I would hate to do that and leave all of the work to just the 2 remaining members. Also, I am on UTC -5 and the other three candidates are located in Europe. I think it would be difficult to find a suitable time for council meetings if I am in full-time employment.

After much thought and consideration, I have decided to withdraw my candidacy. I realise the disruption that this causes and that the elections cannot now go ahead until another candidate is found. I am very sorry for that but I believe that it is better that I withdraw now than at a later date which would be potentially be much more problematic.

Because we had not enough candidates running for Council position, the voting has been reset and we start with a new contemplation period.

See the wiki page of election for details;

Thanks, I'm flattered.

I'm happy to help if you think I can be of use, although I'm not currently using Sailfish on any of my devices!

Ha, OK... I guess I should have said "traditional (glibc) mobile linux distributions"

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 
As we now should announce the candidate list for contemplation (or should have done that already last night 25.6.2017 0:00 UTC), I do believe if @FeathersMcGraw accepts we have 4 candidates.

This is absolute minimum to arrange a council election.

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 
Thank you to all who voted! I feel very honored.
Don't now if i need to but i hereby formally accept the outcome of the election.
The current council did a great job, especially with the coding competition.
Fom lurking in irc channel i saw preperations for a Win7Mac initiated developer support program. Let us try to make it a big success in memory to him.

The voting already finished? OMG! I was so buried in s**t that I missed it completely! :(
Never mind, I would have voted for the winners anyway :D

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 
I would also like to take the opportunity and thank everyone for finding all 3 of us worthy of this trust.
Will do everything needed for the community's benefit. and of course, I hope the community as a whole will remain involved :)

35 voters? :(
Seems we are really just an exclusive elite club :D

Nevertheless (or better: notably) thanks to all voters and of course to our new council and especially juiceme!

I almost forgot to vote. Next time, would it be possible to send out the voting email only once it is actually possible to vote? I wouldn't be surprised if like me, others wanted to vote when they received the email but then forgot about it by the time they were actually allowed to vote.

That is exactly what happened to me. I made a mental note tp vote in a few days but then got swept in in the pile of **** that came my way and forgot about it.

Either a single email or a reminder would have been fine.

Yes, I think that'd be OK but then I think we should probably extend the voting period for 2 deys, to make sure everybody has at least a week to vote.

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 
I just missed the voting email entirely... By the time I noticed it, voting was closed.
Either way, congratulations!

Was'nt it 18.07 anyway or is the time travel device included in the councelor trophy and we have a paradigm? :D

I have to confess that I was myself unable to attend; a TARDIS for Council usage would be nice indeed!
Same goes for today; I am travelling in northern Germany now and have only cellular connectivity...
