Elections 2016 CRO feedback

This page resumes a retrospective of the process of working as a CRO for the Board of Directors elections. 
=== Contacting 300 people ===
The main issue has been being able to reach our members. We have a database of charter members with name, country, e-mail and start and end dates for the membership. This database is maintained manually by the OSGeo secretary. When the voting is set up on the electronic system (LimeSurvey) a CSV export of that table is uploaded to be used to send mails and reminders.
On the other hand we have our charter members addresses stored more or less systematically on other places: Charter Members mailing list, wiki users database and the OSGeo LDAP.
The main issue is having a maintained database to contact users. Many of them provide work addresses that get obsolete often. They maybe update the Wiki or LDAP database but never contact the secretary (nobody told them to do so) and really seldom they update their address on the mailing list.
How we fix this problem? I think a way to do so would be to use OSGeo LDAP, so we remove e-mails from the charter members table and use LDAP ids so when elections arrive we just get the e-mails from there and join with that table to get the results. I have no idea how hard is to export LDAP records but anything we can do to reduce redundancy on this list is worth.
=== Voting system using CRO alias === 
The Voting system is using a mail sender to distribute e-mails, using the CRO OSGeo alias (cro@osgeo.org) as a sender. This is probably causing some issues as being identifiied as a spam behavior. This should be fixed if the voting system (hosted at geo-spatial.org server) can use it's own mail address, something like osgeo_elections@geo-spatial.org that would look legit for more e-mail services.
=== Voting schedule === 
We should plan ahead the campaign time that was improvised so candidates have more time to prepare their manifestos. Also I think we should increase to two weeks the voting period to allow more members to get time. This has improved over other years where we had the voting in northen hemisphere summer season.
So the calendar for Board elections would be two weeks for nominations, a week for campaigning and two for voting.
=== Raising concerns === 
One charter member contacted me to ask about advice on how to raise concerns on a candidate. The issue was the fear that raising a direct concern on a public list would lead to an ad-hominem discussion, fading the concern itself. It's a bit worrying for me that this is an issue in the sense that we are seen as a community that can't accept non positive feedback. 
=== Voting mechanics === 
Another charter member contacted me complaining about not being able to cast less votes than open seats. Other years we've allowed several votes to be casted to the same candidate. Another simpler solution is just allowing to vote from zero to the number of open seats.

Electronic Voting

Until 2013 elections were a completely manual process. For the 2014 elections we intend to introduce an Electronic Voting process to automize some of the tasks involved. The effort will be lead by Bart van den Eijnden. 
== Requirements ==
* Nomination data is maintained on a server
* Candidates from the nomination list are automatically transfered / copied / referenced by the elections form
* Charter Members maintain their own data (email address, postal address, land of birth and/or residence (this needs to be clarified))
* Charter Members vote by logging into the system and filling out an electronic form. 
* Charter members receive a notification of their vote by mail (content stripped / clarify)
* The CRO oversees the process
* Individual election results are not public
== Implementation ==
The technology used for the elections is a Lime Survey instance hosted by UC Davis until 2015 and by OSGeo Romania since 2016.
* Access url: http://geo-spatial.org/osgeo2016/
* Software maintained by OSGeo Romania members
* Isolated instance for OSGeo, not shared database with other organizations
* Currently (2016) administered by Vasile Craciunescu with Alex Mandel and Jorge Sanz as backups.
* It will store minimal Charter Members data (name, e-mail) to allow send them notifications and updates.
* Main features
** 28 question types
** Validation
** Open surveys or closed and only available to selected groups
** It can register ballot metadata (timestamps and IP)
** Generates reports in HTML/CSV/PDF/etc.
Some of the requirements are not fulfilled by this system:
* The nominees is not automatically transferred from our wiki
** Minor problem, it's usually a short list
* If we want to keep things simple (avoid creating users to everyone), the CRO (or the Survey admins) will have to maintain the Charter Members database
** Major problem, before the elections we will have to send a confirmation mail (we can do this with the system) but also announce it on the lists to assure everyone is aware of this system and ask them to notify the CRO about non working e-mail addresses or whatever. 
== Members ==
* Bart van den Eijnden (Lead)
* Michael Gerlek (past CRO, OSGeo Secretary)
* Arnulf Christl (past CRO)
* Jorge Sanz
* Vasile Craciunescu
* NN implementer
* NN maintainer
* NN (OSGeo Secretary)

Error: Invalid change log message or author: Message must identify an artifact

Sample of the error seen:
commit -m "test" D:/svn/www/index.html
 Sending D:/svn/www/index.html
 Transmitting file data ...
 A repository hook failed
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: MERGE request failed on '/svn/mapbender/trunk/www'
svn: 'pre-commit' hook failed with error output: Invalid change log message or author: Message must identify an artifact, 
and the author may need to own the referenced 
artifact: txn 'r' in repository '/u1/sourcecast/data/adapter-svn/repositories/mapbender'
== Why the error occurs and how to correct it ==
Ok, simple problem! Not so simple to understand though.... What it is referring to as "artifact" is a Project Tracker artifact. This is because the Message must name artifact setting in the configuration of the project is selected. 
The control is available to the project owner and can be found by going to: 
Edit project - https://[ project name ].osgeo.org/servlets/ProjectEdit
then
Tool configuration - https://[ project name ].osgeo.org/servlets/Configure?type=Project
Look for Message must name artifact which is probably checked. If you uncheck it, the error goes away. 
There is also Committer must own artifact setting. This is similar but requires that the committer be assigned in the artifact as well as listing the artifact in the commit message log. This is not recommended unless you want absolute control of who is assigned the actual commit. In most open source projects, this slows the process down, but it is up to you if you want this. This setting can also cause the referenced error.
This setting forces you to reference an artifact from the project tracker. Create a task, defect, or enhancement in the project tracker. The artifact reference is looks something like SC23 and if you had a reference like this, the commit would have been ok with the settings you had. The artifact reference has to be surrounded with spaces to work. So SC23, does not work because of the comma next to it. 
Why have this setting? During normal operations it is a good practice to allow only commits that reference an artifact. This links the code change to the reason and disposition as to why there is a code change. It helps also in that you don't need to be as verbose about the commit log because you are referencing a much richer log in the artifact. It also stops rough commits that may be done by folks in a hurry.
It does have a downside. The first is that you always need to reference something in the commit log. This is a bother that some would like to avoid. It is however a quick thing to do. This does help you figure out what might be happening in a personal branch. So someone working on some type of experiment or new example would have to create a task, defect, or enhancement before they could start work. 
It is highly recommend to have the Message must name artifact setting on.
Europe

= Europe =
Welcome to the wiki page of the Europe OSGeo Chapter.
Note: This is not the first time work has been done to create an OSGeo Europe Chapter. In fact, a legal entity was established in Belgium in 2017 and was closed in 2023. See the Europe archive for everything related to that.
== Communication ==
Local chapter communication:
* Communication OSGeo Europe forum
* To post join OSGeo Europe group
* Visit About the OSGeo Europe category for further instructions, including mailing-list access
== ToDo list ==
* Decide about the legal structure (Initial talks at BOF FOSS4G Tartu 2024)
* Write and publish the Bylaws (Action: retrieve the documents from the previous EU Chapter)
* Create activity calendar
* Set up priorities and goals
== Introduction ==
FOSS4G Europe conferences are becoming more popular every year. Europe faces specific legal challenges, such as the current Cyber Resilience Act, that have an impact on OSGeo projects, contributors and businesses in Europe. European institutions are interested in sponsoring OSGeo Europe, for which they need a legal and representative entity. OSGeo is registered in the USA, and can therefor not always easily support these challenges.
== Why should OSGeo have a European local chapter ==
== Mission and objectives ==
== General Meetings ==
* Europe-meeting-2024-07-18
* Europe-meeting-2024-08-22
* Europe-meeting-2024-09-19
== List of initial members ==
The European OSGeo Chapter has the support of the following people:
* Jeroen Ticheler
* Codrina Maria Ilie
* Angelos Tzotsos
* Luís de Sousa
* Jorge Sanz
* Tõnis Kärdi
* Javier Jimenez Shaw
