How many seats are opening up for this coming election? I confess that
between the staggered terms, some off-cycle resignations, and whatnot, I
haven't kept track.

I intend to study all candidate profiles closely. But on a quick glance, I
am excited that we could potentially elect an entire slate of extremely
qualified people, all from the global south.

I am delighted to have just completed my vote for the slate of the 2020
term PSF Board.  As my personal voting strategy, I read all of the
candidate statements, and nominator statements where they were made, and
basically tried to come up with any reason in my mind why a given candidate
was not absolutely my highest preference.  That said, even if ALL 4 seats
go to folks I did not vote for, I will remain delighted by the outcome,
since there are so many wonderful candidates running.

At the completion of selection (in my case, of 11 candidates), I was
presented with this message:

[you under-voted: you may select up to 26]
>

I was, in the past, the PSF Voting Administrator, and introduced the use of
Approval Voting as the election method (many years ago now).  So I get what
this means, but I am concerned that the phrasing may confuse new voters, or
simply those less wrapped up in election arcana.  I do not know if it is
possible now to adjust that phrase slightly.

ANY number of votes, from zero to 26 is technically valid in the Approval
Voting style.  It is a little bit pointless to vote for exactly 0 or
exactly 26, since your vote will not affect the outcome in those cases (but
it is still valid, and registers your participation).  But any number of
approvals from 1 to 25 will in some manner legitimately express a
differential preference.

When you vote, if you see a similar message, do not be alarmed by it.  You
are given an opportunity there to adjust your votes, if you wish, but you
may also simply submit your vote with your desired number of selections,
and it will be valid and counted.

Yours, David...

Thanks for clarifying, David.

Let me second that message - you can vote for as many or as few of the
nominees as you want, and your votes will be recorded.

As David suggests, if everyone voted for all the candidates, there wouldn't
be a decision.

Cheers,
Naomi

That phrase, I believe, is part of Helios' default templates which the
administrator can not change and has been there for the last several
years in which we've used Helios.

I agree that it is possibly confusing, but I suspect Ben would be
willing to adjust it if you're willing to open an issue and have a
dialogue there.

A fellow former administrator

David,

Thank you for the clarification.

Personally, I believe all candidates are very well-qualified and, combined
with their enthusiasm about Python and maintaining a top-tier, open-source
platform, selecting only a few is incredibly challenging.  I want to vote
for them all!

The PSF is lucky to be able to select from such a group.


Kindest,

Mark Moretto

Hello,

One thing that's been helpful in the CPython developer community is a
message board (Discourse in this case, but the specifics don't matter)
where we could ask questions to the various Steering Committee
candidates.  This would be welcome for the PSF board elections as well.

Regards

Antoine.

Since candidates were not given a heads up to prepare or put aside time, we
will add this for next year.

While I'm a huge fan of Mastodon (I run wandering.shop), I'm a bigger fan
of using tools we already have. :) Given that https://discuss.python.org/
already exists, using that in the future seems fairly reasonable to me?

There's also nothing stopping folks from starting a thread there now, of
course, but I interpret Ewa's point as "We didn't let the candidates know
this was expected of them, so it's not super fair to start this discussion
there now. It's still a great idea, and we should do that next time."

I agree with that, because otherwise it's an unfair advantage to the
candidates who are closely following this thread and know to show up to the
forum.

I also like this idea. I think the existing Slack workspace could also fit
this purpose well. Though a PSF Mastodon instance would be cool in general
and wouldn't require logging in to Slack.

Best,

Not to mention the fact that voting has already started, so getting people
to invest time to ask questions may be too much to ask :). I do like the
idea of giving people a chance to get to know the candidates better,
though, so I would love for this to happen (as Ewa said, next year) -- but
in that case, I feel there should be some room between the candidates being
announced and the actual election.

Hello,

I have found that in the original email, the link to [1] Read more about
our CFP guidelines/proposals when clicked shows take to *page not found. *That
is because in the reference links below, the "[2]" is appended to the link
like shown in bold here:

[1] https://in.pycon.org/cfp/2020/proposals*/[2] *

Which is actually redirecting you to the link
*https://in.pycon.org/cfp/2020/proposals/%5B2%5D
<https://in.pycon.org/cfp/2020/proposals/%5B2%5D> *and not*
https://in.pycon.org/cfp/2020/proposals
<https://in.pycon.org/cfp/2020/proposals/%5B2%5D> *
which is the desired page.

*Solution:*

Please enter a space between [1] https://in.pycon.org/cfp/2020/proposals
*<space>*[2] in your listed references.

I hope this helps.
