Reconsidering of eligibility criteria for technical contributions in elections
Hello all,

As the 2021 WMF Board elections have been announced, I have proposed to
reconsider the eligibility criteria for “developers” and technical
contributors, as the previous criteria do not make sense any longer and
exclude several groups of contributors.

A discussion has been started at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T281977
and
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021#Reconsideration_of_eligibility_criteria_for_technical_contributions_in_election
.

Please share your thoughts and feedback.

Regards

Hi all,

We got some response from the technical community on
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T281977 and
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021#Reconsideration_of_eligibility_criteria_for_technical_contributions_in_election.
I have asked the Election Committee to compile the response.

If someone still wants to give their valuable feedback. I welcome you. More
feedback will eventually help the committee to alter current
eligibility criteria.

Regards,
