He would like to write an editorial about the election for VOICE officers. I will help where I can, but I'm not straight myself on how this election process is planned. Mark From: "Stefanovich, Jason R, PERSCOM" Info I could use: 1. What's our current membership - Peter can answer this better then I since he's the treasurer, but according to the members list there are 203 members, but I'm not sure how accurate that is since there was a problem with the list recently and it was rebuilt. We had about 240+ members for a long time, and that was the number in the old list before it was rebuilt (247) 2. How many readers are we getting - That reminds me I have to run the logs for the last two or three months. You can view the existing log stats at http://www.os2voice.org/weblogs/ which has thru March 2002. For the German version the logs are at http://de.os2voice.org/weblogs/ Its tough to give more then a guess, but we probably average about 600-1000 online and 300-500 who download the archived versions of the HTML and INF. The German issue gets much less. The archives are also uploaded to hobbes, for which I have no stats, but I'm told a lot of Germans download it from there to read it, but I have no idea on numbers. At our peak which was a couple years ago we had maybe 2000 readers online and another 500-700 downloaders. According to Rob Basler, OS/2 eZine gets between 1750-3600 readers a month. 3. What board positions are open - I believe President, Liaison and Marketing. 4. Who are the nominees - For President: Jerry Nichols (XRange on IRC) - For Liaison: no one - For Marketing: Vaughn Bender (WarprdOS2 on IRC) 5. When are the elections 6. Membership costs (individual/corporate/sponsorship) - This is on the web site. I think individual is $25 and Corporate is $100. 7. Benefits (this is something...we used to have special software deals for members I haven't seen that in some time) - This has always been a problem, since it would mean limiting some services to members only. As far as I know the only current members only benefit is the Norman antivirus group purchase. 8. What we do (besides newsletter...Warpdoctor, Warpstock sponsorship) - The VOICE News list. The VOICE Help mailing list. IRC Speakup events. A lot of this info I can get off the site, no problem. If there's anything that's not on the site I'd appreciate it if you could fill me in.
