Poll description

Clojurists Together is holding it's first annual elections for community elected committee members. You can see the full announcement at clojuriststogether.org/news/2018-committee-candidate-announcement.

Voting will be open until end of day Wednesday 28th November, 2018 PST. Election results will be announced shortly afterwards. The poll results will use Condorcet IRV (instant runoff) for ranking ballots. In the case of a tie on the cutoff point, the tie will be broken with random.org/draws, a third-party drawing service. There are three seats open for election this year.

Candidate Profiles

Nola Stowe - Cisco

Nola Stowe is a Software Engineer at Cisco Systems in the Security Business Group. She has over 16 years software experience and loves Clojure the most. She blogs at rugygeek.com about Clojure and other things of interest.

Laurens Van Houtven (lvh) - Latacora

I'm an information security person. My background is in cryptography, but these days I mostly focus on cloud infrastructure, though I do a ton of IT security and application security as well. I'm a Principal and co-founder at Latacora, where we specifically bootstrap information security practices for startups.

I've been using Clojure for over five years now, both personally and professionally. I've been a Fellow of the Python Software Foundation for about a decade, and have been heavily involved in PyCon organization in particular. PyCon is an annual Python conference of about 3500 people, for which I managed the Financial Aid program for several years. I expect this experience will help me to successfully serve on the Clojurists Together board. (Psst! Wanna know a secret? The PyCon financial aid process was briefly entirely dependent on a piece of Clojure code to do hotel room assignments.)

In my spare time, I do woodworking and miscellaneous makery things (CNC plasma cutters and lasers, that sort of thing). I have an adorable mutt named Enzo (after Ferrari). I live in and generally adore Chicago.

Vijay Kiran

Vijay Kiran is a software developer with 16 years of product development and consulting experience using JVM languages (Java, Clojure, Scala). He's a co-organiser of Dutch Clojure Days and co-host of defn podcast.

Nico has gathered the best of all countries he has lived in, Powerful French wines straight from the cradle, deep taste Guinness from Ireland, Tasty Curry from India, Chinese dumplings and ducks in China, and Japanese Sushi at the finger for the last few years.

International Geek, focusing on getting the job right and done, loves to push friends and team members to give their best to start and reach the goal. Nico has been involved into designing large scales server applications for a video conferencing company, managing enormous gigantic clusters of databases through hand written middleware, boosting Japanese design companies with Content Management and Process Management systems, pushing the boundaries of Business Processes for Leading Financial Asia Businesses, and now enjoying independent consulting around the world.

During his spare times, write books, play live music and looking forward to some great project together.

Preference matrix

There are 84 possible sets of 3 choices that can be formed by selecting from the 9 choices. Of these, 4 sets were considered thoroughly, comparing against the 19 nearby (similar) sets that differ in just one choice.

This is the voting preference matrix, reporting maximal valid proportional preferences. Fractional digits indicate nonproportional preferences, which help break ties in proportional preference.

  1234
1. (1,2,3)   -0.28 0.32 0.33
2. (1,2,4)   0.28 -0.28 0.3
3. (1,3,4)   0.3 0.25 -0.25
4. (2,3,4)   0.28 0.28 0.24 -

Pairwise comparison

You can compare any two sets of choices. Just enter the numbers of the choices (from 1 to 9) in each set, with the numbers of one set's choices in the left column and the numbers of the other's in the right column.

Set 1Set 2

1,2,3 vs. 1,3,4

Strong (proportional) preference: tie, 0 to 0

Weak (nonproportional) preference: 1,2,3 is preferred by 32 to 30

Note: Nonproportional preferences are relevant only if there is a tie in proportional preferences.


Nonproportional poll
The following gives the details of how the poll
             would have resulted if run on single choices, without
	     proportional representation. This hypothetical
	     poll defines the “individual preference
	     order” used above.
