Thanks Jonas for your help!
There was an issue with Python package versions, which is now fixed. The Docker still has some issues. More on the issue thread: https://git hub.com/adfinis-sygroup/freedomvote/issues/14
I believe I got it working now, natively, but now I need some sample data to see how things might turn out. At least I will be able to show something to Team NL this weekend. That's great!
Regarding the mass-import, I don't see an 'Import csv here' button. Do I have to do a database import?
Having EN and NL translations would be nice. If we follow through, I'm sure we can add those.
Kind regards, Nico
Hi Nico
Thanks for your mails and updates!
I was at the SUSECon and am back in the office starting tomorrow. I initially started the Freedomvote project with Simon and others and am very happy to see, that it could be of use for others.
It worked quite well in our case and as far as I can tell it should be generic enough to be useful in other countries as well.
In order to help you "bootstrap" the tool from a data perspective it could be helpful to have a Hangouts- (or whatever tool you prefer) session where Jonas or David could explain how to add the base data such as parties, candidates and questions.
Of course we're happy to get PRs or other feedback which we try to integrate - however our dev resources are a bit short at the moment.
I wish you a nice weekend!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards, Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,
Thanks for the info and the offer to talk me through it. As I added to the Github issue this morning, I've now got it working again, this time on Debian. When would it suit you (all) to have some video-call to discuss some technicalities? This week only Wednesday and Saturday evening are impossible, other evenings are still free. Tonight or Thursday evening would suit me best. How about your schedule?
Kind regards, Nico

I checked with Dave and for us Friday 17:00~18:00 would be good. Would this fit your schedule as well?
Do you have a conferencing tool that works well with Linux?
I know, that Google Hangouts works well (also with screen sharing) but I'm not eager to use that one with people who also love free software - so if you know something else/better feel free to propose that :)
Kind regards, Nicolas

Friday 17:00~18:00 would be great. I'll clear my schedule then.
Regarding tooling: I use https://appear.in/ (webRTC, no public code) daily at work, also on Linux. http://meet.jit.si/ is actually free software, but I could only manage to get screen sharing working under Chromium. So let's go for Jitsi, with Appear.In as a backup: https://meet.jit.si/ freedomvote
In the mean time I'll try to make some progress on improving/tuning the software, and getting it deployed.
See you friday, Nico
Nicolas, I saw the agenda you included for the meeting tomorrow:
Agenda: * introduction * known limitations (ordering "fits me best" not possible) * discuss FSFE questions * next steps
Aim: * FSFE NL should be able to use Freedomvote * responsabilities and priorities are clear
As we'll be having our own virtual meeting next monday evening, I cannot speak for all the team, I can however give you an insight in our plans, intentions, and expectations, and take your advice as input for our own meeting.
For me the main focus would be: * How should we organize our process to align with the software? * Any hints/requirements on the software deploy? * What software fixes would be worth taking on? (sorting, proper statistic calculations, allow politicians to be part of multiple states)
As you might have seen, I've been busy on GitHub to improve the current state of Freedomvote.
Kind regards, Nico
Hi Nicolas,
I just added a page to the Freedomvote software to inform about the how-to process. This is my current view on the work it will take to run Freedomvote properly. I am hoping you can add to this document based on your experiences:
https://github.com/nicorikken/freedomvote/blob/doc/howto-process/doc/HO WTO.md
I've already created an associated pull request on GitHub to keep track of the discussion:

Kind regards, Nico
