Graeme, thanks for running the vote.
Board, good luck with your task!

Actually I had a similar question as Eric, namely the # of voters.
(there needs to be a 20% quorum, guess that makes it reasonable that
this information is disseminated).

BTW I know the following is nitpicking, but the voting rules say:
'All voting results except for rejected votes about new members are
published on the OpenEmbedded e.V. web site, excluding the exact
numbers of votes. "
it does not prohibit disseminating the results to the ML :-)
"exact number of votes" could be interpreted as #nr of choices for
each alternative, or it could mean the # of voters. I'd expect it to
be the former.

Personally I would be in favour of modifying the rules that the # of
voters is disseminated and that in case of decisions also the # of
votes for each option. In case of voting about persons or groups of
persons I feel it is more prudent not to disseminate the detailed
results.

Frans.

PS: I did a quick google search to find out how kde publishes the
results, but could not find any. Either I flunked at using google, or
they have had no online votes, or they do not publish.
(I did found some published votes including numbers but these were
from a 2003 meeting).
