Fix the admins : mods ratio

phaeronix's picture

This decision is based on the assumption that Msameer has stepped down from Eglug admin. If my info is out of date please correct me.

According to the charter section 4.1 we should find a replacement for Msameer after he stepped down from adminship. We have the mods election on hand, so IMHO we should send emails stating that elections will be held for the fourth place in adminship.

An easier way to fix this is to assign alienbrain who was the runner up in the past elections, if there is community consensus. We could have a poll to establish this, but first we have to agree that it does not violate the charter.

I'm on board

Instead of having elections after elections after elections, I'd suggest that we adopt the emergency measure of drafting alienbrain and then incorporate this into the charter when the time is appropriate.

accepted

I count 10 ballots , this marks it as accepted. Nobody objected, so can we please promote alienbrain to admin? I'd do it myself but I'll delegate this one to Darkness_Wolf.

please read the rules

please read the rules again

ballots are collected in order to decide wether a vote is needed or not, but not to make decisions.

Did anyone bother to ask

Did anyone bother to ask the guy whether it's fine with him to be an admin or not ?

please.

The guy ran for the elections and almost won so he probably DOES want to be an admin. He also didn't object. The ballots were collected to vote on making a poll, but the poll is not needed because nobody objected. I think it would just be a waste of time to wait for a poll, while we are in dire need for a php savvy drupal admin. Just my 2 cents.

MSameer's picture

The guy ran weeks ago,

  1. The guy ran weeks ago, Things might've changed.
  2. He didn't object now but he didn't say yes
  3. It's not a waste of time to wait for the poll, Please honor the charter, We had similar situation before and the old team followed the charter.
  4. I'm still on board per the charter until you find a replacement.

MSameer's picture

Not sure whether the poll

Not sure whether the poll should be started now or not as we will be having the mods. elections.

What do u all thing ?

3 or 7 days ? I object.

phaeronix's picture

What do you object to

What do you object to exactly?

I'm available

I'm still eager and available for website administration, I think I will be useful especially that now Mohammed Sameer is not one of the admins team anymore (my website administration technical skills intersects with his).

phaeronix's picture

It seems the people here

It seems the people here want to go slow and sure with things. I have two suggestions. Wait for mods elections, and then re-vote for a new admin. The other one from alaa is to elect 5 mods and ask one of them if they want to be an admin. Anyone interested please input.

No, That's mods elections

No, That's mods elections not admins.

What if 2 of them decided to be admins ? What are you going to do ?

phaeronix's picture

Personal Decision

So not only you want to abandon eglug you also want to put difficulties in the process. Instead of training your (a) replacement ( if you want ). I am disappointed. I have been pulled into political chit chat, the type I really hate. The charter 3ala 3eeny we 3ala rasy, but it doesn't help here at all. It's only slowing things down.

As alaa said let's focus on FOSS not the chair. I have little time as it is and I want to be fair to my work ( FOSS ) , eglug ( FOSS ), phaeronix (FOSS) and my study. From now on I'll commit to non-controversial things.

As of now I don't care what you do with this problem and what comes out of this forum thread.

Alaa's picture

if two want to be admins

if two want to be admins we vote between them.

phaeronix's picture

This can be done as a poll

This can be done as a poll with three chioces : * Assign alienbrain * re-elect another admin * we don't need another admin

MSameer's picture

You do need an admin, Go

You do need an admin, Go read the charter ;-)

final idea

ok ic for speeding up as most of the posts here said . we push alienbrain into the administrators team " i see all the current administrators team second that and mohamedsameer the stepded down admin second that also " dose anyone refusing this idea ? no need for votes / no need for relections . anyone disagree? we have 2 days before mods elections and i hope we got this admin thing solved. and here is a brain storm :

  1. Alienbrain good in php.
  2. Alienbrain was the 5th rate in last adminis elections.
  3. finishing the mods elections + relections the admins will take at lest 22 day ( 2 days before the final list for mods + 10 days elects " at least " + 10 days relections for an admin )

thats all what i got in my mind . peace

Alaa's picture

yes I don't agree, we

yes I don't agree, we should not just promote alienbrain keda wel salam

do it by the rules, the rules are simple, but since we only have three admins now we need to vote for 5 mods, afterwards mods are allowed to run for the empty admin seat.

and stop talking about how this is slowing things down, things been slow for a year, and the new admin team been kicking their heals, nothing is stopping us from working while a vote is going on.

You have 4 admins.

No one said that I'm out yet, This'll not happen before we elect a replacement.
