Have you considered online form voting at the chapter list?
www.formsite.comworks well and
surveymonkey.com for this purpose with a description of why to vote for
candidate or the inperson ballot method?

OWASP is open so anyone can vote.  We encourage all persons to donate $50 to
join as a "owasp member" to support our efforts (see owasp.org membership on
the left navigation bar)

I would strongly suggest that you have min., 2-3 roles at the chapter such
as "President, Vice-President and Idea Catcher (aka Secretary)". So the 2nd,
3rd place candidate fills the other roles

Also each member of the chapter that is a "leader" needs to be added to the
owasp-leaders list (hence this list) so that the chapter always has more
than (1) person on the what's new.

Finally, be sure to have the name, phone and email (you can get a
@owasp.orgemail just ask
kate.hartman at owasp.org) posted on the chapter wiki for each leader she
tracks this + for the 60/40 split membership split this is important.

Great Jeremy - who knew that volunteering could be so much work :)


Any questions, give me a call at 973-202-0122

All,

We have a very unusual situation in the Northern Virginia chapter -
there's an election scheduled for this month's meeting (I'm stepping
down as chapter chair), because we have two people who want to be the
chapter leader (obviously I hope that whoever wins will solicit the
other person for help).  In all my years of volunteer work, this is
probably the first where there's been competition for a volunteer
job...

Anyway, the question is whether people can vote "absentee".  The
chapter handbook is silent on elections, probably because this has
never happened before.  Nor, for that matter, does the handbook say
who can vote.  My assumption was that anyone who shows up can vote,
and there is no absentee voting, but one of the candidates has sent a
message to the list saying that people who can't come should send me
their absentee votes.

Help, please!  The meeting is this Thursday!

--Jeremy

P.S. The VERY good news on this is that dozens of people who don't
ordinarily attend OWASP meetings are planning to attend in order to
vote - which might increase our attendance in the future.
