Election interview processing SOP

This document outlines the process for handing election interviews.

Timing/trigger

This process occurs when a candidate submits and interview.

Procedure

  • Ensure the "private" box is checked on the issue.

  • Acknowledge the submission in the ticket. You can use the canned response.

    • Check if the candidate has an account in the Community Blog. If they do not, add the login needed tag and include the log in request in the acknowledgement.

  • Add the interview tag and set the milestone on the ticket.

  • Add the appropriate election to the "Blocking" field.

  • Add the issue link in the "ticket" column of the nomination wiki page.

When you are ready to add the interview to the Community Blog,

  • Move the issue to the Processing column on the Interviews board.

  • Create the Community Blog post

    • Include FAS account, IRC/Matrix information, wiki page (see previous examples)

    • Set the candidate as the author. If the candidate has not yet logged in, use the "Fedora Project Community" account.
