I'd like us to explore using https://github.com/elekto-io/elekto as the election system for this cycle, which Kubernetes has been using for its Steering Committee elections and which Knative also started using last year. We ran into significant confusion with the email exchanges and the once-a-day syncing cycle from the CIVS service last time.

BTW, I started getting Elekto to build and run on CF on my fork at https://github.com/emalm/elekto/tree/run-with-cf. I've gotten it to stage and to connect to a bound MySQL DB automatically, but I haven't tried configuring the GitHub settings yet.

Hah, I kept playing around with this, and it's now running at https://elekto-emalm.apps.dhaka.cf-app.com, with the election config repo at https://github.com/emalm/elekto.meta.test. @christopherclark, I made you both an admin and a voter for the "name the app" election that it's running right now, if you wanted to take a look at it.

Switching to Elekto seems like a reasonable move to me. I've signed into the Elekto app but haven't explored more than that. Maybe next week we can run a test election @emalm ?
We can update the voting method details anytime before voting starts - proposed date June 2nd.
Update election dates
|
Merging, as we have a TOC quorum of approvals and it's been out for over a week without changes (other than to move the dates forward as needed). |
Initial docs for 2022 election. This reflects almost the same dates as 2021 - if the TOC wants to amend anything at all here, please do. Before May 11, I'll have calculated a list of eligible voters, and drafted a cf-dev post.
