[Grants] Linux Australia Grant Request - Unit testing & UX improvements for CiviCRM Elections Extension

[Joshua Gowans]

Grants request team,

I'm writing on behalf of the CiviCRM Core Team in support of the Unit
Testing & UX Improvement efforts of Agileware. We believe the timing for
this is right and that the proposed solution provided by Agileware is solid.
Likewise, we view Agileware as very strong partner with strong CiviCRM
skillsts. We believe they are uniquely capable of taking on such an
improvement.

The CiviCRM Core Team just completed a 2 day governance summit with various
partners from around the world, Agileware included. Relevant results
include:

   1. Given the current political environment around the world, we view
   voting/election capability in CiviCRM as an opportunity and a potentially
   significant improvement.
   2. CiviCRM itself is shifting to an elected, governing body, and could
   therefore benefit from such capability.
   3. CiviCRM as an open source software application has over 11,000 users
   worldwide and is seeing growth in its adoption by political
   parties/movements.

Thank you for your consideration and for the work you do at Linux Australia.

Sincerely,

Josh
