Hello, I've volunteered to tally up votes for the name of the GUI interface that Kern described in his post to the bacula-users and bacula-devel lists on 16 Jan 2007. For the operational details and concepts of this tool, please see the Gmane archives at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bacula.user/30694 (beware of line wrapping!).
For the purposes of this vote, I'll accept any name proposed through either the bacula-devel or bacula-users lists through Friday, January 19th at midnight Eastern Standard Time. I will collect all of the names and send out a follow-up email sometime on Saturday, January 20th that lists the names proposed. You will then have until Friday, January 26th at midnight Eastern Standard Time to cast your votes. Only votes cast in the manner described below will be counted. For name proposals, only names that are not currently used in a backup-related fashion will be considered, so please take the time to do a quick Google search to see if your proposed name is already in use. Doing so will save not only my time but the time of many others on the two lists. Voting instructions: Voting will be very similar to the voting method used for Bacula project development. Below are the specific rules involved: Very important. Please send your vote to the following email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you want the list to know how you voted, you may copy your response to the list. Please don't copy Kern or myself directly - you MUST use the email address above for your vote to be counted! You can vote for up to 3 different names. Your vote will be weighted 3 points for the first choice, 2 for the second, and 1 for the third. This is to obtain data for a secondary and tertiary name should it turn out that the first-place name cannot be used for whatever reason. Please use the table below in the email. All you need to do is put the name number you want to vote for after the appropriate priority. Priority 1 is the highest, and priority 3 is the lowest. You may only cast one vote for any particular name, you can vote for less than three names if you wish, and please only vote once. If you do not vote using the table below, then your vote will be discarded (it is too hard to figure out what you *might* want). Priority Name Number ========================= 1 2 3 A correct vote response could be: Priority Name Number ========================= 1 5 2 10 3 40 Where the above means that you want name 5 above all others, following by 10, and your last choice, 40. I will post a follow-up email containing the names proposed and their corresponding numbers, as well as a re-hash of these rules, on January 20th.
