[Qgis-psc] Proceeding with ballot for QGIS Community Voting members

Fri Jul 29 16:15:25 PDT 2016

Hi All

Ok just to let you know I have sent out the voting forms (taking into account feedback from this thread). The forms were sent to individuals who have commit rights in any QGIS repo. If you are aware of anyone who is not in receipt of a voting invite who should be, please let me know. There are also a few users whose emails I could not track down - please help me with these if you can:

embelding <https://github.com/orgs/qgis/people/embelding>
Dany Laksono <>
Eva Shon
Matteo (need to clarify which Matteo)
Mathias Walker <>
Niccolo Rigacci <>
rudithiede  <https://github.com/orgs/qgis/people/rudithiede><>
samleepan  <https://github.com/orgs/qgis/people/samleepan>
Sergey Yakushev <>
Kayama Yoichi <>
Yulka Plekhanova
Konstantinos Nikolaou <>,

Thanks,

Regards

Tim

I am also aware that the whole process is / was somewhat confusing for some people and that we are trying to bootstrap here which makes things even more complex. As such I propose to do the following to proceed:
