<h1>Verification of the GNOME Foundation 2001 Elections Results</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To run the vote counting scripts, you need to perform several
|
|
steps:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
First, obtain copies of the <a
|
|
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vote/2001-November.txt.gz"> ballot
|
|
archive</a> (referred to below as 2001-November.txt), the <a
|
|
href="registered-voters.txt"> membership list</a>
|
|
(registered-voters.txt), and the two voting scripts, <a
|
|
href="list-addresses.py">list-addresses.py</a> and <a
|
|
href="vote-counter.py">vote-counter.py</a>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Then, extract the valid voting addresses from the membership list:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>$ python list-addresses.py registered-voters.txt > addresses.txt</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Next, run the vote counter script; it's probably best to save the results
|
|
to a file (they are long):
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>$ python vote-counter.py 2001-November.txt gnome-foundation-secret-cXjoS6521 addresses.txt > results.txt</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The results should be in results.txt. A list of errors will be
|
|
generated at the top of the output, but note that many of those errors
|
|
will represent problems which are fixed later in the archive
|
|
(manifested by the voter having a counted ballot later in the
|
|
results). The final tallies will be at the bottom.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To exactly replicate the posted results, you should apply this <a
|
|
href="vote-archives.diff">diff file</a>, which represents the
|
|
votetakers' changes to the voting archive to fix malformatted ballots to
|
|
reflect the evident intent of the voters.
