May / June 2009

The following elections will take place in in May/June 2009:

Schedule

  • Nominations are open from 15 May through 29 May. Visit the links above for the nominations pages.
  • Individuals may provide questions they would like candidates to answer.
  • IRC Town Hall-style discussions with candidates for the various elected positions will be arranged for 31 May through 6 June. Candidates will be given a set of written questions suggested above, to answer by public email if they wish.
  • The elections will take place 7 June through 22 June.

Nominations for Elected Positions

You may self-nominate. If you wish to nominate someone else, please consult with that person ahead of time. Wiki nomination pages carry additional details about the nominee which the nominee is expected to write.

Candidate Questionnaire

We are collecting a list of questions, which will be given to each candidate to answer before the IRC Town Halls. Please see the questionnaire and add your own. Note: not all questions will be posed to the candidates. Questions may be edited. Candidates may choose to answer (or not) as they see fit.

The answers are available in 2 formats: Plain Text and OpenOffice table.


IRC Town Halls

Each group participating in the election will host two Town Hall forums on IRC. Each will last one hour, or less if there are no further questions.

How to Join

  • Everyone should join #fedora-townhall on FreeNode (irc.freenode.net). Only candidates and a moderator may speak in this channel.
  • Non-candidates should also join #fedora-townhall-public on FreeNode (irc.freenode.net). Direct your questions for the candidates to the moderator.
