Activities/Election/FellowshipElection_2015

In February 2015 we will have the seventh vote for the Fellowship representative. The election is organised by the Fellowship coordinator.

Election 2015

The winner of the election will represent the Fellowship in FSFE's general assembly. She or he will substitute Heiki "Repentinus" Ojasild.

Some basic information:

- Who can vote? All registered Fellows can vote.

- Who can be elected? To be a candidate, you need to have been an active Fellow for at least a year before the election (so 20th February 2014). This helps to make sure that the people elected into the GA are familiar with the organisation and its work.

- Election Platform: All candidates should use the wiki and/or blog blog as a promotion platform, so that it will be possible for their Fellow voters to know them. (You can also choose to make the wiki page only visible for other Fellows).

- Voting System: For the voting process we will use the Schulze method, a popular voting system used by Debian, Wikimedia and others. It is a well tested method and has proven to be resistant to voting anomalies.

More Information on the voting procedure can be found in FSFE`s constitution

Max Mehl

My name is Max Mehl, 24 years old and currently living in Konstanz, Germany, next to the Swiss border. I'm in my last semester of Politics and Administration but until the degree I make my living as an IT freelancer. In 2011 I started to get active in FSFE in the translators' team and became a proud Fellow in April 2012. End of 2013 my 6-month internship at FSFE's Berlin office started where I learned a lot about the organisation and the importance of Free Software in general. Right now, I'm an active member of FSFE's translators, web and German team and trying to help FSFE in any way I can -- for example with the compulsory routers topic [1] where we achieved great successes.
