| [jakarta.ee-wg] Jakarta EE- Candidate Announcement 2025 |
Dear All,
The nomination period for the Jakarta EE 2025 elections closed on Friday, September 12th, and we are writing to inform you that an election will be held to fill the Participant member seats for the Jakarta EE Committees.
This email communication introduces the standing candidates and provides an overview of how the election process will work:
Standing Candidates:
We are extremely pleased and excited to announce the candidates listed below. Please note each candidate's name contains a link to their biography. We encourage you to read about these candidates. And thank you to all candidates for your interest to participate.
Note: Kindly note that all Enterprise Members Representatives, Jadon Ortlepp (Participant Member Rep for Marketing & Brand Committee), and Committer Member Representatives are acclaimed to the roles. We thank them for their continued support. It’s truly appreciated.
Ballot Information:
You will receive a ballot if you are the company representative for a Participant member company of the Jakarta EE Working Group. As a reminder, the current Participant members are listed here.
Election Information:
Eclipse Working Group elections are performed using a process known as Single Transferable Vote, which requires each voter to complete a ranked ballot. By ranked ballot we mean that each voter ranks the candidates in their order of preference.
The advantage of this approach is being able to elect multiple candidates at the same time which reflect the voters’ preferences.
The Eclipse Foundation uses a third party election system [1] that performs the election calculations. Elections are performed with high integrity where a unique link is created with a random and secret access key for each voter. Additionally, voter anonymity uses secret ballots ensuring voters’ choices cannot be linked to voters. Voters must rank all candidates and cannot award two candidates the same ranking.
If you are a standing candidate in an election, please know you can certainly vote for yourself! In fact, it is quite normal to rank yourself (or the organization you are voting on behalf of) as your #1 (highest) selection.
Ballots will be distributed on Monday, September 22 and the voting period will remain open until the end of the day September 30, 2025
The Working Group Charter defines the classes of membership, the various committees and their responsibilities, and the election process.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
