[steering-discuss] BOD elections

Hi,

Thought I'd pass this along.

Just finished casting my vote(s) in the BOD elections at Software in the
Public Interest, Inc. (spi-inc.org)

It seems to me that they are using the same voting mechanism as has been
discussed for our use and they have a fairly nice web interface to
handle it.

So, if folks are becoming active on setting this up perhaps it is worth
an email to see what software they use for their purposes and perhaps it
will work for us also.

Best wishes,

Drew Jensen

Hi Drew,

  Hey ! I'm glad you're with the SPI, nice :slight_smile:

It seems to me that they are using the same voting mechanism as has been
discussed for our use and they have a fairly nice web interface to
handle it.

  Fridrich has been setting up some voting infrastructure based on the
GNOME setup - which matches our needs quite well. We'll be using OpenSTV
to do the counting, and have a published list of (anonymised) votes.
Anyhow - the code is currently at:

  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/voting/

  And needs some more branding action & testing, but he's out for the
week on vacation.

  Hopefully all will be ready in good time for the election though.

  Thanks !

    Michael.
