<h1>Preliminary Results</h1>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Why preliminary?</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
This results are preliminary results: they can be challenged by sending a
|
||||||
|
mail to <a href="elections@gnome.org">elections@gnome.org</a>. If you
|
||||||
|
want to verify the results, you can look at the <a
|
||||||
|
href="verify.html">instructions</a> that explain how to do so.<br /> All
|
||||||
|
challenges must be sent before December 19th, 23:59 UTC.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>The results</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
You can download the <a href="results.txt">full results</a>. There were
|
||||||
|
191 valid votes. Two votes were not valid because the voters chose too
|
||||||
|
many candidates.

than 40% of the board directors affiliated with any one corporation (here

|
Novell Inc.). As there are 11 directors on the board, it means that no

there can't be more than 4 directors affiliated with any one corporation.

<h1>Election Verification</h1>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
To run the vote counting scripts, you need to download this archive:
|
||||||
|
<a href="2003-verif.tar.gz">2003-verif.tar.gz</a>.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Please note that you need make, wget, perl and python to run the
|
||||||
|
verification.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Warning</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
The authentication tokens sent in the ballots were calculated with an
|
||||||
|
old version of the MD5 perl module. It seems there is a bug in this
|
||||||
|
version which make it impossible to get the same authentication tokens
|
||||||
|
without this buggy module.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Note that the authentication tokens did work as expected: they are used
|
||||||
|
to identify the member so we're sure it's him/her who did vote. The only
|
||||||
|
problem arises when counting the votes: to verify the identity of a
|
||||||
|
voter, you need the buggy module.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
We needed to work around this bug so everyone could verify the results.
|
||||||
|
This is why the verification software contains bad-token.txt: this
|
||||||
|
file contains all the miscalculated tokens and every information needed
|
||||||
|
to associate them with tokens that everyone can verify.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
We advise every member to download the verification software and to
|
||||||
|
verify that his/her counted vote is indeed the vote he/she sent
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Running the verification</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Here are the steps to obtain the results:
|
||||||
|
<pre>$ tar zxvf 2003-verif.tar.gz</pre>
|
||||||
|
<pre>$ cd 2003-verif</pre>
|
||||||
|
<pre>$ make</pre>
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
The results should be in results.txt. A list of errors will be generated
|
||||||
|
at the top of the output. The final tallies will be at the bottom.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>The verification software</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
With this verification software, you should get the same results that the
|
||||||
|
one posted by the GNOME Foundation Membership and Elections Committee.
|
||||||
|
You may want to verify the validity of this software, so here are some
|
||||||
|
hints to help you:
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
look at bad-token.txt: this file contains the list of all the
|
||||||
|
validation tokens that were calculated using a misbehaving perl module.
|
||||||
|
The only way to get these tokens is to use the misbehaving perl module.
|
||||||
|
This file is used as a reference so we can replace the miscalculated
|
||||||
|
tokens with tokens that everyone can verify.
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
look at fix-token.pl: this script use bad-token.txt to search for the
|
||||||
|
miscalculated authentication tokens in the vote archives and replace
|
||||||
|
them with authentication tokens that everyon can verify. You can look
|
||||||
|
at the source code to be sure it does its job well and does nothing
|
||||||
|
else.
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
look at registered-voters.txt: this file contains the list of voters.
|
||||||
|
You can match it with the <a href="voters.html">official list</a>.
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
look at vote-archives.diff: this file contains all the modifications
|
||||||
|
that are made to the original vote archives to make the script work
|
||||||
|
without any problem. The main modifications are due to UTF-8 problems
|
||||||
|
or some misplaced characters. Some spams are also removed from the
|
||||||
|
archives.
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
look at vote-counter.py: this script does the counting. You can read
|
||||||
|
its code if you want to search for serious bugs that may alter the
|
||||||
|
results.
