The election will use Elekto software for nomination and voting management. Key eligibility requirements include documented contributions to CHAOSS (either through GitHub PRs or community contributions documentation) and a GitHub account for voting verification. The election officers are currently testing the software and will release a timeline and multiple communications in coming weeks. The community is also rotating facilitation of weekly calls to distribute community management responsibilities, with Elizabeth facilitating next week's call. ## ๐Ÿ—’๏ธ Notes #### โฑ๏ธ [00:00](https://youtu.be/gv3pyDqefGE?t=0) โ€” [H1] Call opening and facilitation volunteer request - Key idea: Sean opens call and seeks volunteer facilitator for next week - Evidence: "Can I get a volunteer to facilitate next week? kind of looking at the co and Mary blessing maybe" #### โฑ๏ธ [02:15](https://youtu.be/gv3pyDqefGE?t=135) โ€” [H2] Daylight savings time calendar updates - Key idea: CHAOSS calendar updated with daylight savings meeting time changes - Evidence: "The chaos calendar has been updated for meeting times and we are under daylight savings time" #### โฑ๏ธ [03:45](https://youtu.be/gv3pyDqefGE?t=225) โ€” [H1] CHAOSS board elections overview - Key idea: Elizabeth explains election process as election officer - Evidence: "We have a upcoming elections for board members and also the ability to nominate yourself or someone else" #### โฑ๏ธ [05:20](https://youtu.be/gv3pyDqefGE?t=320) โ€” [H1] Community contributions documentation requirement - Key idea: Non-PR contributions must be documented for voting eligibility - Evidence: "If you are giving chaos contributions that do not show up in PRs...you really need to fill this that issue out" #### โฑ๏ธ [07:30](https://youtu.be/gv3pyDqefGE?t=450) โ€” [H2] GitHub account requirement for elections - Key idea: Voting requires GitHub ID for Elekto software verification - Evidence: "You will have to have a GitHub account as well which is you know clearly a limitation" #### โฑ๏ธ [09:15](https://youtu.be/gv3pyDqefGE?t=555) โ€” [H2] Election software and ranking system - Key idea: Elekto software will manage nominations with candidate profiles and ranking - Evidence: "You'll be able to rank who you want...they'll have their name and a little paragraph about themselves" #### โฑ๏ธ [11:00](https://youtu.be/gv3pyDqefGE?t=660) โ€” [H2] Election timeline and testing phase - Key idea: Election officers testing software before opening nominations - Evidence: "We're right now in the process of just testing the software to make sure that it's working properly" #### โฑ๏ธ [13:30](https://youtu.be/gv3pyDqefGE?t=810) โ€” [H3] Conference submission reminders - Key idea: Two conference deadlines approaching for community presentations - Evidence: "Apache Software Foundation's community over code conference in Glasgow...deadline of March 20th" #### โฑ๏ธ [14:45](https://youtu.be/gv3pyDqefGE?t=885) โ€” [H3] Chaotic of the month recognition - Key idea: Andre recognized for contributions during CHAOS EU conference - Evidence: "Andre was super awesome during the Chaos EU conference" #### โฑ๏ธ [16:20](https://youtu.be/gv3pyDqefGE?t=980) โ€” [H2] Facilitation rotation explanation - Key idea: Community rotating meeting facilitation to distribute management work - Evidence: "We are starting to kind of rotate this job around of facilitating this meeting" #### โฑ๏ธ [18:00](https://youtu.be/gv3pyDqefGE?t=1080) โ€” [H2] Community management transition planning - Key idea: Planning for community management transition pending funding confirmation - Evidence: "We are thinking about kind of the transition around community management...we just don't really have any kind of confirmation from anybody yet around funding" ## ๐Ÿ“š References - [CHAOSS Board Election Mechanics Document](referenced) - [Community Contributions Repository](referenced) - [Apache Community Over Code Conference](referenced) - [All Things Open Conference](referenced) ## ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Paraphrase - CHAOSS is conducting its first board elections using Elekto software with nomination and ranking features - Community members need GitHub accounts and documented contributions to participate in voting - The organization is distributing community management responsibilities through rotating meeting facilitation ## ๐Ÿ“ฐ Newsletter **CHAOSS Community Prepares for Inaugural Board Elections** The CHAOSS community is embarking on its first-ever board election process, marking a significant milestone in project governance. Election officers are currently testing the Elekto voting platform and preparing comprehensive guidance for community participation. **Key Actions for Community Members:** - Document your contributions if they don't appear in GitHub PRs using the community repository issue template - Ensure you have a GitHub account for voting verification - Consider nominating yourself or others for board positions The election represents CHAOSS's evolution toward more distributed governance, complementing ongoing efforts to rotate community management responsibilities. Multiple communication rounds will provide detailed guidance as the process launches. **Community Opportunities:** - Volunteer to facilitate weekly community calls - Submit conference proposals to Apache COC Glasgow (deadline March 20) or All Things Open (deadline March 31) - Participate in working group activities and documentation efforts This democratic transition strengthens CHAOSS's commitment to inclusive, community-driven development of open source health and sustainability metrics.

Community Engagement: Support transparent board election processes and documentation #### Community - Contributors: Complete community contributions documentation for election eligibility - Maintainers: Participate in governance transition planning and board candidate evaluation - Sponsors: Understand funding implications for community management transitions #### DevRel - Community management: Implement distributed facilitation rotation for sustainable operations - Education: Develop election participation guides and voting tutorials - Developer experience: Ensure GitHub integration doesn't exclude potential contributors ## ๐Ÿงช Hypotheses - Rotating meeting facilitation will increase community engagement and reduce single points of failure - GitHub account requirements may limit participation from non-technical community members - Elekto software integration will streamline the election process compared to manual management - Documentation of non-PR contributions will reveal significant hidden community work ### ๐Ÿ“Š Methodology - Survey community members about facilitation interest and barriers to participation - Track election participation rates by contribution type and GitHub account status - Compare election software efficiency metrics with manual process estimates ### โ“ Questions -

Improve: Actively seek diverse board candidates, address participation barriers #### Psychological safety - Present: Code of conduct framework for community interactions - Improve: Clear guidelines for respectful election discourse, conflict resolution ### โœ… Logical Validity #### Strong reasoning - Deductive strength: GitHub requirement logically follows from Elekto software verification needs - Inductive strength: Rotation of facilitation reasonably distributes community management load - Causal reasoning: Documentation requirement causally linked to election eligibility verification #### Fallacies - Appeal to novelty: "First-ever elections" framing may overemphasize newness without addressing process quality - Technical solutionism: Assuming software platform solves governance challenges without addressing social dynamics #### Tone of voice - Overall tone: Collaborative and informative with appropriate acknowledgment of process limitations and learning curve ### ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ DARVO Analysis - Deny: No evidence of denial patterns - Attack: No evidence of attacks on community members - Reverse victim/offender: No evidence of victim/offender reversal - Emotional cues and rhetoric: Positive, supportive community tone throughout discussion ## ๐ŸŽฏ Conclusion The CHAOSS community is navigating its first board election process with careful attention to inclusion while managing technical constraints. The emphasis on documenting diverse contribution types demonstrates commitment to recognizing non-code community work, though GitHub account requirements present accessibility challenges. The parallel initiative to rotate meeting facilitation reflects broader efforts to distribute community management responsibilities and build organizational resilience. Success will depend on comprehensive communication, addressing participation barriers, and learning from this inaugural governance process to improve future elections. ## ๐Ÿงฑ Refactor Appendix ### ๐Ÿ“š Literature Split Pad Purpose: Stage CEE units that become Literature notes.

So, um you can<br>[00:02] leave your cameras on or off. Um we're<br>[00:05] under the chaos code of conduct. Uh feel<br>[00:07] free to put your name into the minutes<br>[00:09] which are in the document that I'm<br>[00:11] sharing right now and I've shared in<br>[00:13] chat. If uh new people come, if somebody<br>[00:16] could reshare that would be awesome. Um<br>[00:19] and so let's just uh let's get going. So<br>[00:22] the first agenda item is uh can I get a<br>[00:25] volunteer to facilitate next week?<br>[00:32] kind of looking at the co and Mary<br>[00:34] blessing maybe.<br>[00:38] >> All right. Well, um table for now.<br>[00:40] >> I can I can do it. It's okay.<br>[00:44] >> Are you sure?<br>[00:45] >> Yeah. Yeah, that's fine.<br>[00:46] >> I mean, unless Yeah, I'll do it for now<br>[00:48] and then if we get a volunteer,<br>[00:50] >> I won't fill it until the end because<br>[00:52] maybe they'll be a volunteer.<br>[00:54] >> Yeah. Um, just a final reminder that the<br>[00:56] chaos calendar has been updated for<br>[00:58] meeting times and we are under daylight<br>[01:00] savings time. Elizabeth, you put out uh<br>[01:04] communicate last was it last week or I<br>[01:07] can't remember where I saw this, but I<br>[01:08] saw a really good layout of which<br>[01:10] meetings are conforming to the daylight<br>[01:13] savings times, which meetings are<br>[01:15] staying with UTC. Um, have you se do you<br>[01:19] know where do you remember where that<br>[01:20] right where I may have seen that<br>[01:22] summary? Yeah, there's uh if you scroll<br>[01:24] down in these minutes, it's there. It's<br>[01:27] also in Slack in the general channel, I<br>[01:29] think. Oh, there you go. Scroll back up<br>[01:31] a little bit.<br>[01:32] >> Uh<br>[01:33] >> there it is. Like that's Yeah.<br>[01:36] >> Okay. All right.<br>[01:40] >> Yeah. So, if you want to copy and paste<br>[01:41] that in there. Yeah.<br>[01:49] I want to find a link,<br>[01:53] but like I think there should be a link<br>[01:56] to like um<br>[01:58] there should be a way to like link this.<br>[02:02] >> Oh, maybe if you add it as a header and<br>[02:06] then you can link over in the left<br>[02:08] column. You know what I mean?<br>[02:12] Uh yeah. Okay.<br>[02:14] >> So if you Yeah. If you expand that, you<br>[02:16] could go down.<br>[02:19] Yeah. Right down there. There you go.<br>[02:20] And I think you can link straight to<br>[02:22] that.<br>[02:24] Copy link.<br>[02:26] Yeah.<br>[02:27] >> There we go. All right. Yeah. So I was<br>[02:29] just thinking of ways to not repeat it.<br>[02:45] Um, and then from last week, there was a<br>[02:47] code forg. Uh, mentoring internship<br>[02:50] planned for the UN SG working group. I<br>[02:53] don't know, I don't see anyone from the<br>[02:55] UN SG working group here today.<br>[03:03] So, I don't have I don't know anything<br>[03:06] about what this is,<br>[03:08] but I'll follow the link and see.<br>[03:14] This is what it is.<br>[03:19] And apparently there are some<br>[03:20] internships available if anyone is<br>[03:22] interested in those.<br>[03:25] Um,<br>[03:27] all right, that's that. This might be a<br>[03:29] very brief meeting.<br>[03:32] Uh, and then the CAS board elections are<br>[03:35] coming. Uh, I don't know if anyone's<br>[03:38] here that can provide a summary of what<br>[03:40] that means or how that's going to work.<br>[03:42] >> Yeah, I can do that. Um, so as one of<br>[03:44] the election officers, um, I can do<br>[03:46] that. U, so in case you all haven't<br>[03:49] heard, we are we have uh a upcoming<br>[03:53] elections for board members and also the<br>[03:56] ability to nominate yourself or someone<br>[03:58] else um, as a board member. If you click<br>[04:01] on that mechanics doc, Sean, that will<br>[04:04] have all of the information. So, like<br>[04:06] what the criteria are, how we figure it<br>[04:09] all out. Um, yeah. So, read through that<br>[04:13] doc. uh if you are interested in either<br>[04:16] running or voting. Um in particular, if<br>[04:20] you are giving chaos contributions that<br>[04:23] do not show up in PRs, and this is<br>[04:25] pretty important, you really need to<br>[04:28] fill this that issue out uh for the<br>[04:32] community contributions doc. If you go<br>[04:34] to the community repo, there's an issue<br>[04:36] template that Sean made. Makes it super<br>[04:38] easy to add your name. Um, but we need<br>[04:41] to have that in order to verify your<br>[04:43] eligibility to vote or to run. So, if<br>[04:46] you are one of those folks that um<br>[04:49] contributes in other ways besides things<br>[04:51] that show up in PRs, absolutely make<br>[04:53] sure your um name is in that file<br>[04:59] and your contribution as well. It also<br>[05:01] seems to be the case that you will need<br>[05:04] to that the is it that your group<br>[05:07] Elizabeth the election officers that<br>[05:09] will manage some list of GitHub ids<br>[05:11] associated with the people.<br>[05:13] >> Yep.<br>[05:14] >> Yep. So you will have to have a GitHub<br>[05:15] account as well which is you know<br>[05:17] clearly a limitation. I believe we're<br>[05:20] we're planning to have a form you can<br>[05:21] fill out if you do not have a GitHub<br>[05:23] account. Um and I believe we're able to<br>[05:26] add you uh on the back end. I think um I<br>[05:30] need to confirm that uh we have uh uh<br>[05:32] folks from the K native community who<br>[05:35] run these elections all the time. He's<br>[05:37] one of our officers. He's kind of<br>[05:39] helping Emma Irwin is the other officer.<br>[05:41] He's helping Emma and myself sort<br>[05:43] through all this um since we've never<br>[05:44] done it before, none of us. Um and we<br>[05:47] are using this Eleto software so that<br>[05:50] we'll kind of manage that whole process<br>[05:52] and it helps us um just like it gives<br>[05:55] you all the everybody who is nominated.<br>[05:58] you'll be able to see, you'll be able to<br>[05:59] rank um who you want. Um and they'll<br>[06:02] have their name and a little um<br>[06:05] paragraph about themselves and their<br>[06:08] contributions to Chaos. So um you'll be<br>[06:11] able to see all of that, but the way<br>[06:12] that it verifies your eligibility is to<br>[06:15] um we send it a list of GitHub IDs um<br>[06:19] and that's how it'll let you in.<br>[06:21] Essentially,<br>[06:25] we there is an FAQ doc that we are we've<br>[06:28] started. Um it's not complete by any<br>[06:30] means. Uh we're building it out kind of<br>[06:32] as we go and as we sort through these<br>[06:34] steps. We're right now in the process of<br>[06:36] just testing the software to make sure<br>[06:38] that it's working properly the way we<br>[06:40] want it to. Um because there's a lot of<br>[06:43] like backend stuff that talks to GitHub<br>[06:46] directly and things. So, um, we're we're<br>[06:48] currently testing it, but, uh, we should<br>[06:51] be opening things up<br>[06:54] next few weeks. I would I would think<br>[06:58] next next month<br>[07:00] >> somewhere I saw somewhere I saw an<br>[07:01] election timeline.<br>[07:02] >> Yeah, we haven't posted that yet. Um, we<br>[07:05] sent it to the board for just kind of<br>[07:07] their information first. Um, we meet<br>[07:10] Emma and Ally and I meet every Thursday.<br>[07:13] So, this Thursday we'll probably confirm<br>[07:15] everything. Um, and um, you'll you all<br>[07:19] will see us starting to remind everybody<br>[07:22] over and over again like make sure<br>[07:25] you've added your name to this doc. Make<br>[07:27] sure you you know your PRs are in. Um,<br>[07:31] and if you want to nominate yourself or<br>[07:33] someone else, make sure they have you<br>[07:34] have consent from them and here's the<br>[07:37] process and all that stuff. So, you will<br>[07:38] see multiple communications from our<br>[07:40] team in the upcoming weeks<br>[07:44] because I know this is new for<br>[07:45] everybody. It's a big learning curve.<br>[07:47] Um, we've not done this before. So,<br>[07:49] yeah, it's going to take a little time<br>[07:50] to kind of normalize it and make sure<br>[07:52] everybody knows what the deal is.<br>[08:01] I<br>[08:01] >> think that's all I have.<br>[08:03] >> All right. Um, and that is the entire of<br>[08:08] the agenda that we have today, which is<br>[08:11] cool. I mean, people don't mind getting<br>[08:12] time back, I'm sure. It looks like<br>[08:14] there's a few reminders about the Apache<br>[08:16] Software Foundation's community over<br>[08:18] code conference in Glasgow. Uh that has<br>[08:21] a deadline of March 20th, which is let's<br>[08:24] see two weeks. And Mered Blessing, I see<br>[08:27] your hand is up.<br>[08:31] Go for it.<br>[08:31] >> Um yeah, thanks Sean. Um Adren is not<br>[08:36] the call. I just wanted to give a shout<br>[08:38] out to to him for being the chaotic of<br>[08:40] the month. Um, Andre was super awesome<br>[08:43] during the Chaos EU um, conference. So,<br>[08:47] yeah, shout out to Andre<br>[08:49] and I've posted on the general Slack in<br>[08:51] case people want to go celebrate him<br>[08:53] there.<br>[08:55] All right, congratulations to our<br>[08:58] chaotic of the month at Inca.<br>[09:01] And then the final reminder is for all<br>[09:03] things open uh, deadline of March 31st,<br>[09:06] end of the month. Uh, similar time frame<br>[09:09] in October. This one's in Raleigh, North<br>[09:10] Carolina instead of Glasgow. So, choose<br>[09:14] your destinations accordingly.<br>[09:16] Um, I don't have anything else,<br>[09:19] Elizabeth. I don't know if you do, if<br>[09:20] there's anything else anyone else wants<br>[09:21] to bring to the table.<br>[09:30] All right, Elizabeth, I'm going to put<br>[09:31] you in then as the um facilitator next<br>[09:34] week and um hopefully we get another<br>[09:38] volunteer after next meeting.<br>[09:40] >> Totally fine. For those of you who did<br>[09:42] not were not here last week, um we are<br>[09:44] starting to kind of rotate this job<br>[09:47] around um of facilitating this meeting<br>[09:50] uh just to kind of help spread the the<br>[09:53] work the work of the community manager<br>[09:56] and and this is something that anybody<br>[09:57] in the community can certainly do. So we<br>[10:00] want to encourage folks to get in<br>[10:01] engaged and um or be engaged, not get<br>[10:04] engaged. That's weird. Um, but yeah, we<br>[10:07] want you to, this is an opportunity for<br>[10:09] you to contribute if it's something that<br>[10:10] you're interested in doing. And we do<br>[10:12] have a guide that basically tells you<br>[10:15] exactly what to do. Um, so it's, you<br>[10:17] know, it's pretty easy.
