Splendid :)


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.

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 

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;

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 

The extended nomination period is still running until end of this week!
So I quote myself and hope that we would get new nominees!

Ps. I will nominate OVK, Feathers McGraw, KylliOrvokki, benny1967 and Bundyo :)

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 

Thanks. Unfortunately I can't accept the nomination.

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 

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!

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 

That is a plus, we have enough jolla fanmen in chargé ;)

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 

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
 

Yep, sent my candidacy email to the list earlier today.

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement

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.

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 

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 :)

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 

Congratulations sicelo, juiceme and mosen!! :)
Thank you Feathers McGraw for accepting candidacy, hopefully next time we will also see you in the Council!

I am sure we will have great Q2/2017 period with new Council.

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 

You're welcome, I'm happy to say my choices won! Lol

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 

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!

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 

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.

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 

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.

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 

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!

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 

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

Re: Q2 2017 Community Council Election Announcement
 

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...
