[aur-general] TU Vote: Daenyth
Hi everyone, This begins the 7 day voting period for the addition of Daenyth as a TU. Please don't forget to vote. The discussion thread can be found at: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2008-July/008179.html You can vote using the web interface. Good luck! -- Anders
Hello TUs, The voting period for Daenyth is now over. The votes are: yes - 16, no - 2, abstain - 3, which means he reached a quorum! To Daenyth: 1. Send the output of "htpasswd -n <userid>" to Simo (htpasswd is included in the apache package) 2. Contact Eric to change your user group on the forums 3. Make sure your sponsor (me) has given you TU status on AUR 4. Ask some TU (me) for the #archlinux-tu key 5. Add yourself to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trusted_Users 6. Read the TU and AURtools guidelines again: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Trusted_User_Guidelines http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AURtools_Tutorial 7. If you're not a Trusted User on the bug tracker within two days, report it as a bug to Roman 8. If you need access to a x86_64 build machine, ask Aaron (when it comes back online) 9. That should be all :) Welcome to the team! -- Anders

A remark, absolutely not related to this new TU in particular, and in no way related to my voting period (as far as I remember, I didn't get any "no"): I see votes against a candidate here. I perfectly understand that someone can think a candidate is not good enough (even if I would disagree in that particular case), that there are too many trusted users (which would seem dumb to me), etc. Actually, any reason at all. But I think that a "default" behaviour, if a candidate is "globally" OK, would be to vote "yes". That doesn't need explainations. Else, why you think "no" is a better vote should be explained, because it might means that you have something interesting to say! That's not an attack over the 2 "no" voters in particular (I don't have SQL access ;), but a general thought: if there's any reason for you to vote "no" and if that reason wasn't exposed before, maybe you should consider send it to the ML... Communication isn't overrated when it's about some new hands! Congratulations to Daenyth! -- Geoffroy Carrier

And this should be done during the discussion period. We already discussed the matter last year, IIRC. (Actually, I was the one who voted no and explained why only during the voting period... even though the candidate didn't pass, my action wan't exactly appreciated.) Corrado

I think "voting period" shouldn't mean "no discussion period". We need a "discussion period" before the "voting period" to make sure people have time to express their opinion, but that shouldn't prevent us from discussing after it, should it? -- Geoffroy Carrier
I got *no* and *abstain* votes against me, and i don't asked why or something; I'm most worried because the participation of the TU team actually we were 25 and just 21 voted (in this SVP), where was the other 4 TUs? I saw two resignations on that period and still missing 2 votes(bjorn, xilon), and i saw 3 inactivities (Dragonlord,DaNiMoTh,BaSh) notices after the SVP maybe 2 of them didn't vote too, but i'm not so sure. I think that everyone is free to vote anything, and i don't know if bardo (or anyother) will resign because now Daenyth is a TU (that will be childish in fact), the point is, that he reached a quorum, he now is a TU, and welcome to the team, honestly i just hope that Daenyth will do a good work, no matter what others (including me, yes i voted against Daenyth) can think. I don't like this *type* of discussion on public list, imho not-TU people shouldn't read this kind of e-mails, so if anyone (or you Daenyth) want to know why i voted against him (just the TU/Dev team) feel free to ask, BUT as i said, and sincerely i hope that you will do a good job, and if you need help feel free to ask, while you want to be a tu, you will get any help (if you need it) from me. Please, let close this, congrats anyway. Angel

Don't worry, I don't plan to resign for something like this :) I just wanted to point out what already happened *to me*. In fact my opinion is: if it's something important, then you should write about it whenever you want, especially if the candidate doesn't seem to be prepared to fit the role.
the point is, that he reached a quorum, he now is a TU, and welcome to the team, honestly i just hope that Daenyth will do a good work, no matter what others (including me, yes i voted against Daenyth) can think.
I'm totally with you about this, and having seen Daenyth's work a few times before his application, I think (and hope) he'll be able to do a good work. Thread closed for me :-) bardo
