Foundation/AGM2024/Election to Board/Answers and manifestos

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Below are links to the manifestos and the answers of the 2024 OSMF board election candidates to the official questions, set by our election facilitator, Brian Sperlongano. The official questions are based on questions by the community. It was up to the candidates to answer all the official questions or just a few of them. Our suggestion was to answer all of them. The official answers and questions thereof should be what voters use to judge. Suggested community discussion period: 2024-09-27 to 2024-10-12 16:00 UTC, when voting will open.

When voting on OpaVote, enable JavaScript. Disable ad blockers and plugins like Decentraleyes that block content. Cookies must be allowed. Community members who block outgoing requests to Google-run websites must temporarily unblock them. You risk submitting a blank vote otherwise!

Voting will open on 2024-10-12 after 16:00 UTC.

Test your browser settings (except cookies) before voting by visiting this sandbox voting page where you should see a list of OpenStreetMap editors (randomised each time you load the page). Use the same browser settings, make sure cookies are allowed and then proceed to vote for the election. The sandbox page is only for testing purposes: the vote button does not work and votes on the OSM editors are not counted. This is how the voting page should look like (except the red arrows and the fake candidate list).
