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 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

Hi fellows,

I'm a 33 years old software architect, situated in Berlin. I have a 2 year old daughter.

I work at Liquid Democracy e.V. on free online participation software, trying to bring the spirit of Free Software to political processes. I'm a Free Software enthusiast since I first heard of it in 1999; FSFE fellow since 2007.

Focus of my candidature is better coordination between free software projects, its users and its non-users. What is people preventing from using free software? The FSFE can play an important role in coordinating efforts for wider free software adoption!

Cheers, Nicolas

Hi! I'm 24 years old and living in Konstanz, Germany, next to the Swiss border. I'm currently writing my final thesis in Politics and Administration, but make my living as an IT freelancer (website development, server administration and general support). In some weeks I'll go to Tanzania to work there as a volunteer IT teacher for six months. In my free time I'm head of the local scouts group and play guitar or pen&paper RPGs from time to time.

I started to get active in FSFE in 2011 as part of the translators team. Some months later I became a proud Fellow like you and in October 2013 I started my internship in FSFE's Berlin office for six months where I learned a lot about the organisation and the importance of Free Software in general. For FSFE I was or still am active in following projects:

As a former intern and long-time volunteer I already know a lot about the organisation and the people behind it. With your vote
