We are looking feedback and voting the ideas listed below:
- *Voting badge:* Not only improve voter participation also helps with metrics about elections.
- *Nominee "**Ask Me Anything!**" (AMA)*: Basically is a questions and answers session over social networks (like reddit and other platforms).
Please refer to the ticket [2 https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issue/103] for more information and don't forget vote :)
Thanks for your patience on a reply and thanks for starting this thread, Alberto! I'm also CCing Jan to this thread as the election wrangler (not sure if he is subscribed to the list or not).
## Voting badge
I love the idea of a voting badge, especially if we take the Nuancier approach. For anyone reading, Nuancier is the tool used for the supplementary wallpapers every release. Nuancier waits until a user submits votes on wallpapers, and then gives them a claim URL for the badge. This approach would work well for elections too since it doesn't connect a FAS account to voting preference or any public data.
The next question I ask is whether this should be a new badge for every round of elections or just one universal badge for all elections. I prefer a new badge for every election, but ensuring there is a process to update the election app for this every election is important.
## Nominee AMAs
Since members of the Fedora community have moderator privileges Reddit's /r/Fedora, I like the idea of running this. Jan needs to confirm if this is possible for this round or not.
I think this change needs more time to communicate and a date should have been set before the first election announcement. I prefer waiting for F29 to try this, but it doesn't mean we can't get a system in place now.
Thoughts?
