Hi folks, The Carpentries Executive Council is hosting two Community Calls this week (on Thursday/Friday depending on your time zone) to discuss the upcoming elections. Two sessions will be held to accommodate our global community. Connection details are in the etherpad; please sign in if you plan to attend: https://pad.carpentries.org/community-call-2018-11-29
These community calls will provide an opportunity to ask questions about community governance and the election process, as well as learn more about the candidates for the community-elected Executive Council positions. There is still time to submit a self-nomination or recommendation! The countdown to the end of today anywhere on earth is here <https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?p0=3399&iso=20181126T2359&msg=Election%20deadline> . As a reminder, the election will be held December 3-7; more details about the election process are here <https://carpentries.org/blog/2018/10/ec-elections/>. The ballot this year will include three options for the new vision of The Carpentries, as refined following feedback from the RFC <https://github.com/carpentries/executive-council-info/issues/2>.
