Steering committee election about 2017merger HOT 11 OPEN

I have done a blog post that links to all 8 nominees so far to make it easier for you http://www.datacarpentry.org/blog/meet-candidates/ @k8hertweck @kcranston

from 2017merger.

I want to document this whole process for next time. Some notes for reference for here:

1. We should have had someone specifically designated to check for submitted nominations and post them on the blog until UTC+12 on the last day of nominations (the last time zone in the world that it is still that day)

2. We had a lot of trouble with the query used to generate the member list. This is the query we used

Thanks for summarizing our next steps, @kcranston

Question for @k8hertweck -- do the nominees know about this suggestion for allocating votes to terms? I think everyone may have thought they were running for a one year term.

from 2017merger.

@maneesha No, we haven't specified how we'd handle the peculiarities of this first round of voting until it came time to put the ballot together. I had assumed all candidates would expect a two year term, as that is what is described in the RFC, but I see that the announcement blog post wasn't explicit about the maximum term. This should be explained when emailing candidates as well. Who wants to handle this?

from 2017merger.

I've volunteered to send the email to the candidates with this info.

Just for my own notes:

00:00 Dec 4 UTC+12 = 07:00 Sun Dec 3 EST
11:59 Dec 8 UTC-12 = 06:59 Sat Dec 9 EST

Election set up and notices will go out starting at 00:00 UTC+12 Dec 4.

@kcranston Do we have a date when results will be announced? Asking for newsletter.

3. We need to update this page (https://software-carpentry.org/scf/members/). This has not been done yet. Also need to document how this page is built.
