Election Process Retrospective
Now we've completed the process of running our first community elections, let's put some effort into recording what we did, and think about what we could do better.
We've had some great debates. Some decisions have had to be made quickly for pragmatic reasons, and some problems were not foreseen. So this is a rough wiki space to start noting the "ok, so we should do that differently" issues that have arisen, and may continue to arise.
So in true wikispirit - go forth, edit and BE BOLD :)
Voter Eligibility

In this wiki page we're aiming to capture some of the great discussion that happened at the two all candidates' meetings held with candidates for the 2012 Drupal Association at large director elections.
There are two sections to this page. At the bottom of the page you'll find raw IRC logs from the meetings. Scribes typed in IRC while candidates fielded questions. The IRC logs are a bit hard to read, but give some sense of how the various candidates introduced themselves and fielded questions.

Drupal Association should play fair game for hosting companies, wishing to get listed on http://drupal.org/hosting
Dear All,
Current practice is that Drupal Association requires from new applicant hosting companies, which wish to get listed on http://drupal.org/hosting, to pass security test of Security Review module. And it is difficult to pass the test without applying additional layer of complexity to certain setups. This practice represents unfair barrier for hosting companies, which want to provide Drupal-specific hosting services and which can not practically pass the test, therefore should be reviewed or cancelled.
