All eglug members will be alerted to the poll through reasonable means, an announcement shall be published on the eglug.org homepage, and the poll will remain open for at least 10 days.

Shall we send a mass email ? Can anyone draft it please ??

I had asked sherif Darkness_WolF to do this; he can start doing it this evening. I will follow up with him to make sure it gets done.

Cool, Thank.

How about extending the vote period to 10 days ?

oops, Not possible.

The moule doesn't lis 10 days!

We have 3 options IMHO:

1. modify the modul code.
2. make the period 7 or 14 days
3. propose a modification of the charter "we have to wait for this"

??

14 days it is.

The time for the poll is hereby extended to 2 weeks.

Diaa does alot of work for eglug and he is the most active member among the admin team, the problem with Diaa is he doesn't do admin stuff.

as for access that was just a miscommunication I think and is mostly my mistake and not his.

cheers,
Alaa

http://www.manalaa.net "context is over-rated. who are you anyway?"

sorry Youssef

Diaa is doing almost nothing and doesn't even have access.

is this your own personal opinion or it is MohamedSammer's expression.or it's the fact.

well I am asking if the current Admin team vote for no ,why this poll will last for 14 days?

as you asked this question direct to me "if you agree that we need new admins please say so in here"

my answer is "if you can be admin (any mod.) please say it in here so we can decide will we have useless admins or effective ones "

Diaa Radwan

Diaa, none of the information I have is direct since I am not an admin myself.

EGLUG is now, due to the lack of the admins' ability to keep up with needs, b0rked in several regards (search box, html formatting, etc.). Requests such as more RSS feeds have gone unanswered for weeks.

I see you have been doing a wonderful effort editorially, but if these technical issues aren't being handled then you're not carrying your weight. This is not your fault, it is the team's fault. And again, this does not mean they are bad people, it means that they have very little time and need to make space for other admins.

And yes, the concept that Diaa is basically doing nothing is as an admin and it is a deduction from one of the admins saying that it's basically only MSameer and Alaa working part-time. Additionally, the open issues with the site suggest that you also have other priorities (which is natural, it is not bad) and that we need new admins.

Diaa, habibi the state of the site suggests that the admin team could improve. Not you, the team. That means all of you.

i agree i'm a modrator and i didn't have much time recently to do much work for eglug as u all can see.

Because mentioned admins still don't have suitable access, as Conceptor said it's only $HOME and that's all.

Unfortunately for hosting fees my credit card statement for the last month states elsewise.

And of course fresh dedicated blood is needed in all positions.

The original founders had more free time and were not enslaved at work when they made the most significant success, so this IMHO is what we need.

You guys make it sound like the feast and the sheep being led to the slaughter house, new blood and all. :P

Ok Ok lame joke. Is there a way we can make this go faster, the admin team itself has voted "no", can't imagine anything offsetting that.

Can we have the elections already?

Well the outcome is quite obvious, but I'd like to say one thing. It is out of love to eglug and concern to it's community, that we do this.

It's actaully healthy democratics, not hate or disdain to the old team. There was a time when they lifted eglug to its peak, but times grow and the world changes.

Don't want to sound like poetry, but it's true. Anyways, I suppose the replacement admins will have the time to learn adminship properly and will be coached by the old admins for a while.

The rule of the admins is to take care of the website, Not to help people.

I think they are busy some how ... So NO

It is a sign of a healthy community that the community reacts positively to weaknesses like we are doing now.

Part of the reason why we formed EGLUG as opposed to Linux-Egypt.org was that at LE, the administrative team was unresponsive and there was no community mechanism to fix this.

EGLUG is a democratic community; when the administrative team becomes a problem, we vote them out and vote another team in. This is what we are doing now.

What you are seeing is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of strength. EGLUG, thanks to its democratic nature, proves with this vote that it is probably one of the strongest LUGs anywhere, not just in the region.
