WPLUG is a member-driven collective. We believe that the direction of the group should be decided by those who participate in it. To achieve this, we use a transparent, verifiable voting system that ensures every eligible voice is counted.

We reject the “black box” of corporate governance. In WPLUG, voting is not just for elections—it is a tool for continuous evolution. From choosing our technical stack to electing leadership, the collective's will is the final authority.

All official voting is conducted via our self-hosted Loomio instance. This provides a structured environment for debate and a permanent, verifiable audit trail of every proposal and result.

• Transparency: Our voting history is open to the public. You can view past results and discussions here: WPLUG Voting History.

• Leadership elections
• Bylaw amendments
• Major policy changes
• Direction and actions of the organization

• Technical decisions (handled by the technical committee)
• Day-to-day operations
• Emergent decisions by the President / Chairperson

If members are absent from a quorum, the number of votes needed to act is reduced proportionally.

• Example: 8 roles exist, 6 present—4 votes needed.

For members, the specifics of eligibility, election cycles, nomination processes, and the “Duty Clause” are codified in our governing documents.

• Members: Please refer to the Bylaws for the full rules on voting rights and election schedules.
• Visitors: If you are interested in joining the collective and gaining a vote, please see the Membership page.

Knowledge should be shared. No gatekeeping. Keep it FOSS.
