How to vote (votebot)
The votebot is running on irc.cacert.org and is connected to the channels #agm and #vote.
< VoteBot> Help for VoteBot < VoteBot> < VoteBot> VoteBot understands the following commands: < VoteBot> < VoteBot> HELP - this help < VoteBot> VOTE <topic> - start a vote on <topic> if no other vote is running < VoteBot> CANCEL - cancel the currently running vote
a vote can be started by running
/msg votebot vote test vote
Votebot will start the vote timer and will post a short acknowledgement to both #agm and #vote:
< VoteBot> New Vote: jandd has started a vote on "test vote"
After starting a vote the bot listens in #vote and you can vote their using one of the following keywords (defined in https://git.cacert.org/cacert-votebot.git/tree/src/main/java/org/cacert/votebot/shared/VoteType.java#n33):

Proxy votes can be posted by a command like this in #vote:
proxy <person> <keyword>
The votebot will send a message 30 seconds before the vote ends:
< VoteBot> Voting on "test vote" will end in 30 seconds.
After the vote timeout (120 seconds) the votebot posts a summary of the result in both #agm and #vote, for example:
< VoteBot> Vote "test vote" stopped by timeout. Calculating results. < VoteBot> Voting on "test vote" has closed. < VoteBot> Results: for vote on "test vote": < VoteBot> AYE: 0 < VoteBot> NAYE: 2 < VoteBot> ABSTAIN: 0
