  • [gentoo-dev] Gentoo Council Election Nominations Open on Saturday - Inf

    From Roy Bamford@21:1/5 to All on Wed May 28 21:50:01 2025
    Team,

    Nominations for the Gentoo Council election for the 2025-26 term open
    on 31-May-25 at the stroke of midnight UTC.
    The nomination period is 14 days. Early or late nominations will be
    ignored,

    Nominations and acceptances must be sent to the gentoo-project list.
    If I've got it right, replying to this message will work.

    The election officials will be on hand is #gentoo-elections to answer
    questions or they can be contacted on the elections email alias.

    This election may not be straightforward as we don't yet have an infra
    contact.

    On behalf of the elections project.

    Can we revisit the actual requirement? Multiple people in infra are
    either presently on Council and/or likely to run for council.

    I had automated as much of the process as possible.

    Things that require infra, but do not touch ballots:
    a) automated close-of-election
    https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/elections.git/tree/README.md#n111

    Things that require infra, and DO touch ballots:
    b) special ballots; only required for trustees, not applicable for council.

    c) Manual close of election
    https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/elections.git/tree/README.md#n134

    If we plan for a) only, then an infra member who is a candidate can
    safely run the command.

    Robin,

    I don't fully understand the scope of the remaining infra contact tasks.
    As you say, for council it should only be
    a) automated close-of-election

    It looks like that can be run any time after the election is set up.

    It's set up now but is in the process of being checked. So not yet.

    Robin,

    I don't fully understand the remaining infra contacts tasks but it
    looks like
    just a) automated close-of-election.

    As you say, that can be done by a candidate as it does not involve
    access to any ballots.

    It can also be done at any time after the election is set up too.
    That's not quite yet, as its in the process of being checked.
