The OCP Community is an ever evolving, innovating and thriving
community. .However,
we now have special circumstances requiring a special election. In this
case, our HPC Community requires your help. Both our project leads have
left their current companies and moved on to do amazing things at their new
companies. Given their new ventures are taking them in a different
direction, they have opted to step down from their leadership roles. This
group is now in need of a new Project Lead(s).
Special Circumstances

If an OCP project lead resigns from their position prior to the end of the
term or if they can no longer fulfill their duties then the OCP project
community will vote on the interim project lead.
Special Elections

Manoj Roge and Devashish Paul have announced their resignations as the HPC
project co-leads.  We appreciate all their hard work and dedication to not
only the OCP HPC project, but to the Foundation as well. Their last day as
project lead will be Friday, 29 September 2017.  As such, from 2nd Oct -
20th Oct we will be taking nominations for this position.

volunteer roles within the OCP ecosystem.

   - facilitate discussions, both online and in-person, that empower and
   encourage project participants to communicate, collaborate, and contribute
   to OCP in an open and transparent manner;
   - support the direction of the Foundation by effectively communicating
   those goals to their projects through the OCP mailing lists, monthly calls,
   OCP events and various other tools;
   - drive communication between their projects and the Foundation;
   - work closely with the Foundation to grow the reach of their respective
   projects and that of the OCP ecosystem;
   - focus on the needs of the project participants, the projects goals,
   and the OCP Foundation’s goals and philosophies.

In addition the Project Leads must be able to infuse their project with the
following traits:

   - strong community leadership
   - world wide collaboration
   - inclusive vs exclusive approach
