Hello all,
According to FESCo's Election Policy [1]_ the upcoming FESCo election
was supposed to use a variation of range voting [2]_. However, with the
Fedora Project Board implementing a new voting method (approval
voting[3]_) for the first time and the two elections being held so close
together several contributors and FESCo members would like to use the
same method to elect FESCo as used to elect the Board. This change
would be aimed at reducing confusion over changing the voting method
twice in such a short time.
FESCo is going to vote on this on Thursday to make sure there is enough
time to implement whatever decision is made. If you feel strongly that
this is the wrong decision, please speak up before the Thursday Meeting
