Hi TUs,
This starts the seven day voting period for the proposed rules for packages entering the [community] repo. Voting is being done on the AUR interface, last 7 days and will require a quorum of 75%.
The voting period has now ended. 30 TUs voted and as far as I can tell that is everyone so quorum was met.
Results: 21 Yes, 8 No, 1 Abstain
Unless my math is incorrect, 21/30 = 0.7 which is less than 0.75. Did this change to not need a quorum of 75% as was stated in the previous emails?
Quorum means a minumum number of members voting for the vote to be valid. Only a simple majority is needed after that. The Quorum in this case was 100%. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quorum for further explanation. This vote passed quite handily. At 72% approval a strong message is being conveyed.
