If you receive this mail you've been identified as part of the FFmpeg general assembly as proposed during the last community meetings during VDD / FOSDEM.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the first vote in which the "extra" members of the general assembly will be chosen. These are people do not meet the technical criteria set out in the meetings but were identified as key members of the community who should also have a representation.
The candidates are:
- Lou Logan
- Moritz Barsnick
- Alexander Strasser
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Identification of the General Assembly has been conducted utilizing a script[1]. The vote is anonymous. However, for transparency, you can add a self-defined identifyer to your ballot (numbers only). With that you will be able to identify your own ballot in the list of ballots received after the vote has ended to make sure your ballot has been counted. You will also be able to download all ballots and process the ballots with your copy of the voting software to make sure the results have not been corrupted.
The ballots are collected using the CIVS software from Cornell University. The results of this vote are computed according to the Schulze-STV method implemented in the Python Vote Core. We had to patch both softwares to adapt to the requirements of the FFmpeg community[2][3].
