[Announce] Information on Elections in the new Linux Australia voting system

[Linux Australia President]

Dear Colleagues,

In my previous email I outlined the new Linux Australia Membership
System, based on CiviCRM, and provided details on how to update your
details in the new system.

I would now like to outline how Elections for the Linux Australia
Council will run for Council 2019 using the Linux Australia Membership
System.


    How are elections being run?

We have engaged Agileware to build a custom module for CiviCRM based on
the existing Membership DB preferential run-off style elections.

You can see the source code for this module at
https://github.com/agileware/au.com.agileware.elections


    To nominate a Linux Australia Member for Council

1. Log  in the Member area of the Linux Australia website
https://linux.org.au/member-area

2. Click on Elections https://linux.org.au/elections/

3. On the Election Linux Australia Council Election 2019, click the
Nominate button

4. Search for the Linux Australia member you wish to Nominate

5. Select the member

A member must be nominated twice to become a candidate. Members may
nominate themselves.

If you are viewing nominees and click the 'Second' button, be aware that
the person won't be automatically selected and you will have to type
their name in again.


    To vote in the election

Voting will open on 31st December 2018.

1. Log  in the Member area of the Linux Australia website
https://linux.org.au/member-area

2. Click on Elections https://linux.org.au/elections/

3. On the ElectionLinux Australia Council Election 2019, click the Vote
button

4. Vote for choice of candidate

5. Save your selection

You can vote again - if you vote again it will overwrite your initial
choice. 


    Where do I get help?

Via return email, or via the 'Contact Us' form on the website.

Kind regards,

Kathy
