@pchestek I see, I hadn't heard about that policy that there had to be a meeting before announcing the results. Thanks.
Since the past three years the results were announced on the website the next day with phrases like "the polls just closed, the results are in", it wasn't obvious to this outsider that there also were scheduled meetings happening in between.
(Especially since this year it's up to 4 days now instead of next day.)
During 1990s - 2000s I ran #Linux and #BSD.
I started my #unix journey on SunOS OpenWindows and Solaris CDE - both elegant desktops.
I wanted that sweet spot again:
I settled on the #XFCE desktop, which started in 1996 as a Linux version of CDE.
@pchestek I see, thanks for sharing that. It was confusing, because the tallies used to come right away. (Ostensibly for transparency purposes?)

@mccoysmith My understanding is the one-week delay in Oregon elections is because of our new law that votes count if postmarked by election day (to allow USPS time to deliver). ORS 254.470(6)(e)(B)(2)
With OSI, AFAIK it was a universal cutoff date.
In either case, the actual calculations shouldn't take more than minutes in the worst case with modern computing power.
Hi everyone!
I hope you're doing well,
Is there any person here from the #SWANA region (especially #northafrica) that uses #FLOSS tools in their practices?
Thanks and have a good evening

They used to be released within a matter of hours.

In order to resist anything American, I was already cleaning house way before Trump's first term. Arch Linux, for instance, is Canadian at its' roots. The derivate I'm using, Arcolinux, is Belgian. The search engine that tickles my curiosity is Qwant, from France.
Some other software I use is American, but it's open source and forking would be a great idea, but my question is why. It's open source and not software from a company.
Any ideas on this?
