[Paul W. Frields]

Red Hat Legal has cleared the following names for the F14 naming:

Mitikas
Fytnargin
Laughlin
Ventnor
Hoppin
Laramie

(q.v. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/advisory-board/2010-May/008339.html)

I believe Mark Chappell was prepared to help set up the election, to
be called "Fedora 14 Release Name," which should run from 0001 UTC on
2010-05-04 to 2359 UTC on 2010-05-10. Mark, is that correct?  Or do
you need some assistance from me or someone on the Infrastructure
crew?

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you.  I dropped offline for
the UK public holiday yesterday.  As it currently stands you need
direct access to the DB so I wouldn't have been able to do this on my
own anyway.

The SOP got written up a while back.

For the curious there's a more admin friendly (read no longer needs
direct DB access) version of voting that I've been working on :

No problem, Mark -- everything got sorted out.  I wanted to see your
new version, but I appear to be having a problem.  Likely it's PEBCAK,
but I can't seem to get past the CSRF token "I am a human"
confirmation screen.  I keep getting returned there even when I verify
that I am, in fact, a human.  I'm starting to worry I might have a
dream about a unicorn or something.

It's working for me... Possible gotcha, it's using the test FAS
instance on publictest3.

It was PEBCAK as forecast. :-) Now that I'm in the 'elections' group
in test-FAS, things are working fine.  Great improvement here.  I'd
suggest adding a "Enter candidate information" link on the 'newe' page
to make the workflow even clearer.
