Choice 1: Ratify diversity statement The Debian Project welcomes and encourages participation by everyone. No matter how you identify yourself or how others perceive you: we welcome you. We welcome contributions from everyone as long as they interact constructively with our community. While much of the work for our project is technical in nature, we value and encourage contributions from those with expertise in other areas, and welcome them into our community.

With the current list of voting developers, we have:

Current Developer Count = 951 Q ( sqrt(#devel) / 2 ) = 15.4191439451093 K min(5, Q ) = 5 Quorum (3 x Q ) = 46.2574318353278

Quorum

Option1 Reached quorum: 251 > 46.2574318353278

For this GR, as always statistics shall be gathered about ballots received and acknowledgements sent periodically during the voting period. Additionally, the list of voters would be made publicly available. Also, the tally sheet may also be viewed after to voting is done (Note that while the vote is in progress it is a dummy tally sheet).

The proposal needs simple majority

Majority

Option1 passes Majority. 13.211 (251/19) >= 1

In the graph above, any pink colored nodes imply that the option did not pass majority, the Blue is the winner. The Octagon is used for the options that did not beat the default.

Option 1 "Ratify diversity statement"

Option 2 "Further Discussion"

In the following table, tally[row x][col y] represents the votes that option x received over option y. A more detailed explanation of the beat matrix may help in understanding the table. For understanding the Condorcet method, the Wikipedia entry is fairly informative.
