    In December 2020, the OpenZFS project finally unified the OpenZFS codebase between the FreeBSD and Linux platforms.

    [07:50] schestowitz

    This helps ensure cross-compatibility between the twobut there are still some implementation and even a few feature differences worth paying attention to.

    Going inside Cairo to add color management
    [07:54] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-nibblestew.blogspot.com | Nibble Stew: Going inside Cairo to add color management [07:54] schestowitz
    [07:54] schestowitz

    There are two things that I personally care about: creating fully color managed PDFs (in grayscale and CMYK) and making the image backend support images in colorspaces other than sRGB (or, more specifically, "uncalibrated RGB which most of the time is sRGB but sometimes isn't"). The first of these two is simpler as you don't need to actually do any graphics manipulations, just specify and serialize the [07:54] schestowitz color data out to the PDF file. Rendering it is the PDF viewer's job. So that's what we are going to focus on.

To achieve a level playing field we would like to inform all potential candidates of the rules the Election Committee will to apply in this respect. [19:05] schestowitz Generally the election rules do not mention election lists. Subsequently there is no restriction for colleagues to form an election list. The election committee has decided to allow candidates to identify themselves as being part of a list in all places their name is mentioned. This includes the presentation of the candidates be it on the internet site and the ballot slip. [19:05] schestowitz The election committee has decided to maintain the established modus operandi of the online voting. For each voter a ballot slip showing the candidates in a random order is automatically created. Any fixed order of candidates would give the first candidates an advantage because of their position on the ballot slip. Because every voter gets the candidates presented with a different order no structural advantage is given to a candidate. We will [19:05] schestowitz maintain this established system. Within this system we will allow the candidates to identify themselves with a list, if they so wish. Following established practice the order of the candidates for the presentation on the internet will be draw by lot. [19:05] schestowitz In order to avoid misunderstandings each candidate has to clearly indicate his wish to be part of a list and also agree on all other candidates on the list. To ensure this, each list needs to provide the names of the candidates being part of that list in writing latest three days before the opening of the poll. T his list of names has to include a name for the list and needs to be dated and signed by each of the candidates featuring on the list.

Within this mandate we have been approached by a SUEPO member and potential candidate how candidates could come up as an election list. [19:07] schestowitz This prompted a consultation within the Election Committee, and triggered our email of the 24-11-2022. [19:07] schestowitz The only point resulting from our decision is, that individual candidates can now show their affiliation to a group (list) of candidates. On the voting ballot however, the only apparent change will be, that candidate X can indicate that he/she is a member of group/list N. On the ballot, like in the previous years the candidates will appear on a random order and a so-called list will not appear as such, so that no individual candidate will be [19:07] schestowitz disadvantaged. The lists as such will not stand for election, only its individual members. [19:07] schestowitz The candidates with most of the individual votes will be elected. [19:07] schestowitz Hence, there is no change of the election rules. [19:07] schestowitz Our reply and decision falls within the mandate we were given by the SUEPO General Assembly. The Electoral Committee is accountable only to the GA, and does not take instructions from any candidate, or for that matter from the Acting Committee.
