F@H Leader(s) Nominations

[TollhouseFrank]

NOT "OFFICIAL" THREAD. PLEASE READ RULES AND FOLLOW THE SPIRIT OF THE THREAD. THIS DOES NOT SET LEADERSHIP, BUT IS A SUGGESTION FOR WHO TO VOTE FOR WHEN WE DO GET A SET LEADER(S)

RULES


Some simple rules we can all agree on(thanks Dark_15 for the help with the rules)

1. No nominating yourself

1a. You cannot second a nomination for yourself

2. Upon nomination of another member(s), said nominations must be 2nded... BY ANOTHER PERSON!

3. The nominee has the right to refuse the nomination.

4. If applicable, name them for a position.
Example: I nominate XXXXX for the position of Sub-Team Management

5. Remember, as stated before, as large as our team is, no one person can do the job alone. We may need half a dozen or more positions like Lead Speaker for the Forums, Sub-Team Manager, Recruiting Manager (have @md0Cer already in this position), Web Page Manager, etc.....

5b. If you wish to nominate someone for a position, please state why you think the position is needed, as it will help others decide if they wish to 2nd your nomination, or possibly think of a different position that is more all-encompassing or whatnot.

6. Most important, let's have fun and get ourselves some new management! :sn:

7. Accepting nominations for positions: You can post your acceptance, or if you decline your nominations. Will be noted below

[TollhouseFrank]

I am making the first nominations:

For Team Leader/Spokesperson - Audioaficianado

New Positon Nomination:

I wish to nominate a New Position - Sub-Teams Manager.

This person is not technically in 'control' of all the subteams, but would help in organization thereof, and use thier expertise in subteam organizational skills to help out the recruiting not only for current sub-teams, but also for future sub-teams. This person would also need a way to keep track of all the sub-teams (possibly in a thread/stickied thread) so that people can see what sub-teams are available if they feel that they don't want to fold 'on thier own', but as part of a larger unit.

Nomination for Sub-Teams Manager(s) - PMSFishy and Seven

(i feel this can be a multi person job, so I am nominating two very succesful Team Captains)

These are for those who have accepted a position on the team, and pending some possible extenuating circumstances, will be in said position on the team(exception @md0Cer, as he is already Head of Folding Mentors/Recruitment). Please note that these people are not up for nomination for any other position, unless they specifically say that they are willing to accept more than one position.

TollhouseFrank Sub-Team Manager

Audioaficianado He is getting ready to head into something deal with his nursing program, and will be short on time, though if needed, is willing to take a position

DECLINED
These are those people who have declined positions (some from 2 earlier threads also dealing with this) Some may not have the time or resources, and others may just decline because they feel they are not suited to the position. Please keep these folks in mind as you continue nominating, as they are not available for nominations (unless otherwise told)

Nikhsub1
RoadWarrior (possibly only temporarily due to moving to new house)
Wedo
JerMe(may reconsider later)

[Xenocide]

fishy for sub team thing-a-do

[dark_15]

I nominate dicecca112 for Website Manager. He is probably the only person crazy enough to be able to manage the fixup of the website. And that's a good thing :) .

I also nominate JerMe, Seadave, and Cristoph for Website Designers... their talents truly show with their current projects and I believe they would be very valuable for the overhaul of the web page.

One More: Tollhouse for Sub-Team MAnager... he would be very useful for this position!

Thanks for the nomination! LOL... now to see if others think i am as worthy

I Second Dicecca112, JerMe, Seadave, and Cristoph, unless they decline.

[stratcatprowlin]

I like TollhouseFrank for sub team manager too.He's very active and dedicated here.

[tenchi86]

1 more for mister Tollhouse

[Seven]

I hereby nominate Wedo for position of Team Leader

His experience with folding is crucial, and if nikhsub doesn't want to do it, who better than his right hitman? :P

I'll second Audio, active around here and his posts are well formatted enough to make me believe he deserves this post.

ALSO, I believe David has the experience and even has done it before enough to pretty much give him the lead speaker post for sure. He's already made 2 front page plugs, enough to get us some serious publicity.

[TollhouseFrank]

I'd like to stand up and give a huge thank you to those that believe I am worthy of the honor they nominated me for. However, until someone 2nds the nomination for the position (Sub-Team Manager), My acceptance is still 'unnofficial'.

I do accept the nomination, and Depending on who Is nominated along with me, We will work to make sure there is a good list of all Sub-Teams, and I will do my best to help in the organization of any of them.


Oh yes, I have 3 new nominations, and it is for a new position:

Head of Linux Folders - Position is for a person(s) who is knowledgeable in F@H on a Linux Machine, and can help in the setup of F@H on a Linux Box. Also who to look to when it comes to most questions with setup and running F@H on a Linux Box.

I nominate Arkaine23 to this position.

For (Co)Team Leader - ChasR

Dark_15 for Recruiter

[Seven]

Also, I think there must be some DEDICATED positions for AAR

There have to be more than 1, because AAR is complicated for 1 person to manage.

I would reccomend mod power over the AAR section for the following AAR managers.

With that, I nominate...

{PMS} Fishy
Xenocide
mdcomp
I.M.O.G. (let me check, I'm not sure how involved he is currently, but he's cool enough to warrant any position here :P)

comments?

[Audioaficionado]

I won't decline but I also won't be around much next week to see how it goes. I won't be hurt if someone else gets elected. I'll help out as much as I can even if it's behind the scene.

A family emergency will take me from Oregon all the way to upstate New York to help move a family member who recently lost his eyesight.

[TollhouseFrank]

ouch, sorry to hear, man. hope everything goes alright. anyways, we'll keep ya in mind, and keep when ya get back, you'll find out!

[Xenocide]

aar isn't really elected, fish and i already run it, so why change it?

matt helps out, but hes MIA, as hes in isreal right now

[rpwinters]

I will officially "second" TollhouseFrank as Sub-Team Manager. He has been very active in the Fold, always willing to help out (including helping to organize the Leadership push).

[Steveo989]

I nominate Tollhouse Frank.

[TollhouseFrank]

OMG... 4 nominations!!1??//? Wow... that is something i didn't expect... However guys...... 2nd the nomination for the proposed subteam.... as that's not really official till its 2nded and agreed upon

[dicecca112]

isn't recruiting techincally the folding mentors and if that is the case I nominate techi86, seeing hes the current leader.

[I.M.O.G.]

second wedo and david.

[nikhsub1]

I personally think there should be ONE dedicated leader that appoints people to the various tasks. I admire what you guys are trying to do, but I think without a pillar, things will get messy, tangents created etc. One person needs to manage all the other tasks to make sure they actually happen. I see the team leader as the general organizer to make sure things happen. My .02

[Arkaine23]

I will accept the role of Team 32 "Linux guru".

There are a few others I can think of who could be considered linux gurus as well- David, Cristoph, {PMS}Fishy, Kendan, just to name a few.....

[TollhouseFrank]

thanks for the input, Nikhs! uhm.... this pretty much can't go along without a good strong leader.

also, the nominations for me as sub-team manager... ain't really gonna do much unless someone 2nd's and we get a lot of agreement on it that sub-teams manager(s) are needed

[I.M.O.G.]

Agreed. We need to decide the leader as a group, and from there he should go about deciding whats needed, who will do it, and organizing/ensuring it gets done.

This thread should determine the list of who we will vote on for the Team Leader mainly. Other than that, it can also form a list of people who are best to fill certain roles and are willing to, which the Team Leader can work off of.

[Wedo]

I third the Team Leader idea. Having tens or a hundred plus people deciding on five to ten positions might be a bit much.

:edit: Obviously the leader will have ample pow-ah players to help man the helm as shown by the great people who have posted in this thread and the other "team leaders" thread.

Therefore:

I second or third the I.M.O.G leadership role as he has been around for quite sometime, knows the fold, is a senior, and most importantly, has the time and contacts required.

Furthermore, I respectfully decline my nominations for pretty much anything. Nikh and I have too much RL to deal with, hell, I have too much Nikh too deal with. :D However, thanks for the nods and I'd be more than willing to help out where ever I can as always.

Go T32

[Seven]

Hmm....

Not to blow over the house of cards we've built, but I'm for having 2 main leaders...sort of like Co-Consuls so to speak. In this case, it wouldn't be 1 person supremely ruling over all of Foldville, but more like 2 people working together to make decisions that are better for the team. The other thing is they can work together to build a leadership system under them by voting with or against each other, something that wouldn't have happened in the first case.

I look at it this way.

FOR EXAMPLE:

Wedo and David are elected team captains

Wedo says to David: "Hey fool, wouldn't it be cool if I.M.O.G. was our assistant pimp/hitman?"

and then David says to Wedo: "Sure bro', I.M.O.G.'s been here a long time and he's a good guy."

Then I.M.O.G. is elected to assistant pimp/hitman or whatever

Then say David says: "I think Seven would be a great person for official photoshop person, his avatars look cool."

Then Wedo replies: "No. Seven is a n00btard and will probably make our website look like it was done in paint."

Thus, Seven would not be elected. It'd be the sort of system where not one person would spend 5 minutes and come up with a list right off the top of their head without a 2nd opinion (although this thread is sort of that 2nd opinion).

Also, I'd like to see reasons for the nominations...otherwise I can't see where you guys are coming from. Some have done it already, some haven't...but it's a good idea to start now.

7

[dark_15]

That's fine by me. I was just trying to help. I am going to leave the suggested new positions up as well as the users currently nominated... and I will just make a list of people who would like to volunteer for each position. Give me until tonight to update everything... work has just gotten a little bit busier now that my hardware from ZZF has come in :D

Seven, I think a co-Leadership would be a good idea as well. I second it ;) .

[TollhouseFrank]

i also 2nd the 2-head leadership.. would be great.

also, please remember, i didn't mean to set this thread as though it is final and no one else can get considered... i just set it up as a way to get nominations underway, so that we have an idea of who we, as a group, think is best for what particular position.

[Seven]

With that, I nominate I.M.O.G. and David for Co-leader positions.

7

[nikhsub1]

With that, I nominate I.M.O.G. and David for Co-leader positions.

7
I couldn't think of 2 better people to fit the bill! If they have the time and desire for it, they get my vote. As Wedo said, I will help when/where I can, but I can't be tied to any more responsibilities, I've got enough of that now :bang head

[TollhouseFrank]

I 2nd the nomination of David and IMOG

[JerMe]

I'll 4th I.M.O.G. and David. Both are great PR reps for 32, hold senior status, have been with the fold for a while, and overall are approachable and well liked around these parts. I.M.O.G. handled himself well when other teams challenged us; David continues to plug folding via front page articles, and is active in the Standford FAH support forums.

As for the website design positions, it'd help if I had a more experience in that area. I have to decline the nom since I'm afraid my contributions would make our website look like a playground. :p Maybe later when I know a bit more (or if someone could give me a head start, like Christoph did with his code.)

[rhino56]

Amd0cer-leader
Tollhousefrank-second in command
samurisam- in charge of all others

[TollhouseFrank]

**raises eyebrows**....

uhm... 2nd in command? You have GOT to be kidding....

am i really that popular or something? that's now about 6 nominations for 2 different positions.....

i'm sorta worried i might be doing something right for a change.... dangit... after how hard i worked to ruin my reputation.... :D :sn: :p

but on to a serious note... I will respectfully decline such a high position (2nd in COMMAND?!?!?!). I feel I do not deserve such recognition, and that the Folding team would be better served with someone else, who is much better qualified, in that position (i'd prefer it to be a co-leaders, of IMOG and David myself)

Good.

Not in that "haha, you didn't get the position way", but you have the moral values to not take a position offered to you because you have your reasons for it.

Respect.

those guys been doing stuff around here for a long time. they are the backbone of this place.
we need some new blood also.

[TollhouseFrank]

they may need some new blood, rhino... but i believe we have other 'fresh blood' that is better.... namely ChasR.... he'd be great.

[rhino56]

Good.

Not in that "haha, you didn't get the position way", but you have the moral values to not take a position offered to you because you have your reasons for it.

you also should be part of it.
i mean who does what, who is in command doesnt matter but all the people in this thread who have shown interest have been the ones who should be doing it.
make 1 leader, let him say who goes where and who does what.
the leader should be imog or amdocer or someone who has been doing this for so long to have the wisdom to guide others.

But there has to be a leader here.

[TollhouseFrank]

no doubt, rhino. I have been nominated 5 times to oversee the subteams.... LOL. I figured, what the heck... i'm semi-decent at it, if the masses believe i deserve it, then sure, i'll accept....

but as for team leader over all.... no, i don't deserve that. there are others here much more deserving.

**edit**... my acceptance still kinda requires a team leader/team leaders to say that the position i was nominated for was necessary, and that they agree to it... wouldn't be quite fair otherwise.

[stratcatprowlin]

my acceptance still kinda requires a team leader/team leaders to say that the position i was nominated for was necessary, and that they agree to it... wouldn't be quite fair otherwise.

Ok as team leader of True_Amd_Folders I hereby declare your position as neccessary and I am in agreement with your nomination.

Hows that? :)

[TollhouseFrank]

uhm... thanks strat... but i was thinkin' team leader of the F@H forums... but still... i like that thinking.... LOL

[Audioaficionado]

I second. third, fourth, fith, etc Nik's idea of one team leadier directing the varous team area leaders.

[TollhouseFrank]

of course audiio. remember, I put a big disclaimer in Yellow at the beggining of the thread. This isn't an official thread on any of this... sorta like a... 'feel it out' thread... of course we need a head leader... possibly a 2 headed leadership, which i agree with some of the others. David and I.M.O.G. seem to be the choice.

[rhino56]

there should only be one leader, a bird with 2 heads may want to fly 2 ways, if that happens then their will be alot of feathers lost.

[Seven]

Yes...but it's better IMO than having a singlehanded decision on everything. I doubt anything catastrophic will happen like you say rhino.

7

[David]

Whatever I am wanted for, I will gladly help out. I have exams mid-april to early-may but can keep up a decent level of activity. After that its the summer and Ill probably spend too much time on the internet anyway :-P

I second/third/fourth/fifth/ninehundredandthirtysevenpointeight/whatever IMOGs nomination.

If the two people doing the job get on well then a two person leadership should work IMHO. Naturally electing two people who hate each others guts would be a big mistake. Me and IMOG get on pretty well, and are well practised in distracting each other from each others work via AIM :-P

[rhino56]

Yes...but it's better IMO than having a singlehanded decision on everything. I doubt anything catastrophic will happen like you say rhino.

but what happens if there is a difference of opinion? kinda like we are having now? you say there should be 2 i say 1.

[stratcatprowlin]

but what happens if there is a difference of opinion? kinda like we are having now? you say there should be 2 i say 1.

Easy...A fight to the death.:)

[I.M.O.G.]

Perhaps we should look to the way the forums as a whole are run. For a while it was just Skip. Then for a while it was just Shadow. Then for a while it was just Newbie_Doo. Now it is Mr B and Lutawicasa.

If you were setting up a server for a decent sized organization which ran an important server, wouldn't that be nice if you had a redundant clone? If the primary server would become unavailable for any reason, the secondary one would be online to take care of whatever services were necessary.

I like the idea of having two Team Leaders... Not for the reasons mentioned earlier which indicated a balance of power though. The TEAM leaders will only enact the will of the team members while acting in agreement... They will implement the TEAMS decisions. Two team leaders will ensure consistency. If one team leader is unavailable due to RL, vacation, work, weekend, sleep, the other will be available to fulfill the duties.

BTW, I second strat's motion for a fight to the death.

i agree with whatever IMOG says to do, he is the leader.

[Disco_Stu]

from the lurker's corner- IMOG for leader of the universe.

[Wedo]

With that, I nominate I.M.O.G. and David for Co-leader positions.

7

I'm hurt, is this because I think you're a "n00btard that will make our website look like it's in paint"? :D

So I think there are enough nominations for IMOG and David to be co-leaders, now what?

[nahmus]

Works for me. Both are dedicated to the team, willing to help and have a sense of humor. All important qualities when guiding this ship of misfits.

[Helsyeah]

I also support the nomination(s) of IMOG and David as co-leaders... a certain amount of redundancy is a great thing, and i suspect even with two leaders, we will still be a skosh more organized (which would be kinda nice...:) not that im complaining though).

[Ven0m]

IMOG / David
Maybe: @md0Cer / Arkaine23 (not only Linux guru)
Allan Nielsen - you're a real veteran, but I see you posting so rarely. If you're going back to forum, you get my nomination too. It would be inproper not to nominate Team32 founder. So if there are some other founders who are active and I don't know them to be founders, they get my nomination too.

[TollhouseFrank]

just got back with IMOG... we WILL have an official Poll put in place (by i believe Luta). This will set F@H leadership. Anything beyond that is pretty much up to whoever is elected leader.

[@md0Cer]

I of course am happy to manage "recruitment" as that is what I am already doing, however, I wish to decline your nomination rhino. Thanks for the support, but as time allows, I think all I am capable of here is managing "recruitment" and maybe taking things a wee bit further, as in helping out with a newsletter and of course focusing my efforts more on whatever the team leader suggests.

If I were the team leader I don't think I would have the resources to manage the Folding Mentor Project (recruitment).

Although, I would have to agree that I.M.O.G. and David would be excellent people for 1st and 2nd in command of the whole effort, in no particular order as they both are very capable.

[TollhouseFrank]

ok.... nominations recently updated by dark_15, and voting will get under way as soon as David and Luta get things worked out... i left it up to them, as i am on major painkillers and ain't articulate enough to get things thought through.

Eh... something....
yeah...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Seven]

I'm hurt, is this because I think you're a "n00btard that will make our website look like it's in paint"? :D

Hmm....I live close enough to take Nikh off your hands for a couple hours while you rule over all that is Team 32-ville. :D

Well, I'm glad to see my suggestion panned out so well...wow....

[davekusa]

I second the nomination of I.M.O.G. and David for Co-leader positions

[TollhouseFrank]

MAKE SURE TO VOTE IN THE VOTE THREAD! keep nominations here though, to keep it neat.

[mjw21a]

I'm voting for I.M.O.G.

[ghettocomp]

I.M.O.G

TollhouseFrank

I really think there should be two

[TollhouseFrank]

man... another vote for me as leader... LOL... what did i do to deserve that?

[ChasR]

For (Co)Team Leader - ChasR



Frank,
I'm flattered but just can't do it. Too many other things going on. Moot by now anyway.

[TollhouseFrank]

LOL. ChasR... i sincerely doubt either of us will get a single vote in that poll. Besides, even if by miracle of miracles, you did win, just decline and hand it over to the guy in 2nd place! LOL.

[Christoph]

I don't have time to do much more than contests, but the hacking I find time for is fun. As long as it's clear that I'm not doing more than contests, I don't mind making the position official.

[ghettocomp]

man... another vote for me as leader... LOL... what did i do to deserve that?

You started something, it gets you noticed. And if you do something bad, then nobody forgets :p :rolleyes:
