Voting will start tomorrow night. We'll need someone to volunteer as the vote counter.
Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!
I don't have a strong preference one way or another so I could count the votes but I haven't done it before. Is it hard?
What I do when I am the counter is set up a filter in gmail for the subject line for Y and N and then gmail sort of counts for me (although I double check). Other than that, you just have to check your email in case someone messed up. The important part to remember is hat we have to have a quorum of 42 people voting for it to pass. (I think that is the right number)
It's easy, Laga. When someone votes, an email is automatically sent to you. The direction they vote is in the subject line so you don't even need to open the emails if you don't want to! Plus, like Sophia says, you could set up an email filter to count the votes for you.
Wait: are we voting on the proposal as-is, or are we voting for a business thread with an affiliate link, or other?
my understanding is that there are two things on the table now: a biz thread and expanding the affiliate links page.
votes can go to lagarat at gmail.
Erin, as the original proposer, you get to word the final proposal however you want: you can either leave it as originally proposed, or make any chages you want it based on the discussion we had. In particular, you can have a vote on thread-only, or include a recommendation that we add a new section to the links page for buffista biz.
You can also propose a thread name now, or leave it TBD.
What amych said.
ita -- please have votes@... go to Laga's email above and let me know when you've updated the forwarding.
I changed my profile mail to gmail so: profile address good now.
Uhhh... what's the final wording? The polling should open in an hour (7pm PDT) and I need to get to bed soon after that.
