| Re: [oniro-dev] [oniro-pmc] Committer Election for Jacopo Zorzetto on Eclipse Oniro Core Platform has started |

Hello Wayne. Sure if you saw the initial committer votes I created on the 17th? These had the needed merit statement and details. Almost none of the voters realized
the one week voting period though and I was on vacation. We ended up with a timed out vote on Friday 24th. At that point Adam tried to vote and got confused by the web interface and thus created the new vote with just the template in it. I think you are aware of the helpdesk task I raised for this already:
https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/issues/1475 While I like the idea that we can move forward when I propose the merit statement here I do not want to end up in a situation where this is only available on
the list and the voting system shows a template entry where everybody voted on. That would be messy and looking as if we do not care. Which we actually do. Regards Stefan Schmidt From: oniro-dev [mailto:oniro-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx]
On Behalf Of Wayne Beaton Hey Oniro Core Team. It looks like this (and one other) election has gotten off on the wrong foot and committers are correctly voting -1 because of the missing merit statement. The infrastructure doesn't permit changing a merit statement after an election has begun (the principle being that changing the question after you start a vote is considered bad form).
In cases where the merit statement is omitted or considered inadequate, or committers just have additional questions about a candidate, it's completely reasonable to discuss it on the mailing list, and for committers to then use that discussion
as the basis for their vote. If you've already voted, you can return to the election record and change your vote.
That is, if somebody wants to just drop the merit statement on this thread, committers who have already voted -1, can go back to the election and change their vote based on the new information. Ideally, a merit statement (either in the election record itself or in follow up discussion) should include direct links to specific contributions. At least in part, the election serves as a means for others in the community to understand
the nature of contributions that the team will accept, and give them some sense of what they need to do to join the team. A lengthy list is not required; one or two specific examples goes a long way. Wayne On Fri, Jun 24, 2022 at 6:09 AM <emo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
