Fedora 30 will continue to receive updates until approximately one month after the release of Fedora 32. The maintenance schedule of Fedora releases is documented on the Fedora Project wiki [0].

Today we are starting the Nomination & Campaign period during which we accept nominations to the "steering bodies" of the following teams: * FESCo (Engineering) (5 seats) [1] * Fedora Council (1 seat) [2] * Mindshare (1 seat) [3] This period is open until 2019-11-13 at 23:59:59 UTC. Candidates may self-nominate. If you nominate someone else, please check with them to ensure that they are willing to be nominated before submitting their name. The steering bodies are currently selecting interview questions for the candidates. Nominees submit their questionnaire answers via a private Pagure issue. The Election Wrangler or their backup will publish the interviews to the Community Blog before the start of the voting period. Please note that the interview is mandatory for all nominees. Nominees not having their interview ready by end of the Interview period (2019-11-20) will be disqualified and removed from the election. As part of the campaign people may also ask questions to specific candidates on the appropriate mailing list. The full schedule of the elections is available on the Elections schedule[4]. For more information about the elections process, see the program management docs[5].
