Hi everyone! Spring is upon us, which means it's time to overthrow our leadership and replace it with new (or the same) leadership!
First we elect PTL's, then we elect TC at-large members. So first things first: ** PTL Candidacy Nomination Period is open from now until March 7 ** If you would like to announce that you would like to run for PTL for a project, please send an email to openstack-...@lists.openstack.org and tell us. You should probably tell us WHY you're a good choice, but I'll leave that decision up to you. The nomination period will end at 23:59 PST March 7. Each PTL is elected by the Active Project Contributors for the project - which means you have to have landed a change to the project in question in year preceding the election. We apparently still haven't amended our process to define a person who has only reviewed code as an Active Contributor - so if all you've done over the past year is code review - thank you! - but you don't get a vote. Also, to be an APC, the Foundation bylaws also mandate that you be an individual member of the Foundation. That means that *in order to vote* (or propose your candidacy), you additionally have to *join the Foundation* if you haven't done so yet. The email you specify there will be the one used in the election process. The cut-off date for joining the Foundation to be able to participate to this election is set to the end of day (23:59 PST), Thursday March 7. You can do so at: http://openstack.org/join For those of you following at home, this means we are about to have 10 (ten) different simultaneous elections. If you aren't following at home, the following projects are electing PTLs right now: Ceilometer Cinder Glance Heat Horizon Keystone Nova Oslo Quantum Swift After that, the following will happen: March 8-14: Vote for PTL March 15-21: Nominations for direct seats March 22-28: Vote for direct seats Thanks everybody! PS. Yes. I know, we're not supposed to cross-post - but this is important and I'm pretty sure that there are people out there who do not read both lists. It's also a subject I'm not expecting tons of chatter in response to. PPS. If any of you are wondering why this email sounds less official than usual, ttx is eligible for a seat this term, wheras I'm not since my term is still active - so you're stuck with me running this thing. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
