Voting Procedure

Process election of the Plone Foundation Board

Voting Process

  1. Voting will happen during the Plone Conference in October. Voting will start on October 25 10pm and will end on October 28th at 10pm (Bristol Local Time, UTC+1).
  2. Every active foundation member gets 7 votes. The votes are equally weighted. You can only vote one time for each person (e.g., you can't give 7 votes to one person).
  3. Candidates may vote for themselves, or others, as they wish.
  4. The 7 candidates with the most votes will be elected to the Board.
  5. In the case of a tie for 7th place, a run-off election will be held between just those candidates that tied.
  6. The Board itself determines and elects its officers (President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer).

Cast Your Vote

In order to vote you can either:

  1. Vote by email.  Send an email to vote at plone.org with your votes. Make sure you include your full name inside the e-mail, so that we can verify that you are a current Plone Foundation member.
  2. Vote in-person at Plone Conference.  Approach Hanno Schlichting during the conference and hand him a paper with your votes written down.

Election result

The election result will be announced on Friday morning October 29th. The elected board members will be announced sorted by the number of votes they have gotten.
