Campaign period: Tue 2015-11-24 ... Mon 2015-11-30
This is right over the US Thanksgiving holiday period, and likely to get
very little attention. Do you think we could extend the schedule by a
week?

The Nomination period has ended, the Campaign period has started.
We have got enough nominees for Council, FESCo and FAmSCo, so the
Elections can go on for these teams/group.
Unfortunately there are
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Env_and_Stacks/Nominations not enough
nominees for Env&Stacks working group] to cover all the opened seats. I am
going to talk to the working group to find out a "Backup plan", how to
deal with this issue.

I have prolonged the Campaign period for one week. The schedule is now as
follows:
* November 24 - December 07: "Campaign" period
* December 08-14: Voting Open
* December 15: Results announcement

The last time this deadline was missed it was missed by three
candidates for FESCo (ajax, pjones, mjg59). FESCo and the Fedora Board
considered the relative merits of sticking to the deadline, which had
been enforced twice previously, and overlooking the deadline and
decided to allow these three candidates to run for FESCo despite
missing the nomination deadline.
While I was very much opposed at the time to that decision, now we
should be consistent in our application of rules to ALL members of our
community. Please reconsider this and allow Giannis Konstantinidis the
opportunity to contribute to FAmSCo by participating in this election.

IIRC, that was due to a confusion between UTC and EST. Does the same
apply here - i.e. did the candidate apply prior to midnight local
time?
My memory could be faulty as well - that was awhile ago.

It was applied approx. 21 hours late. You can check the exact time on
the history tab of the FAmSCo nominees page:

It was applied approx. 21 hours late. You can check the exact time on
the history tab of the FAmSCo nominees page:
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=FAmSCo_nominations&action...
Which was not as late as some of the FESCo candidates.

No, it had to do with weddings and conferences presumably. Or it had
to do with allowing more participation being more important than rules
being rules in the case of this deadline. I did not accept any of the
reasons in that case as valid so I don't really care what the reasons
are this time. Whatever the reasons this time I consider as valid as
the reasons given last time.
I really don't want to rehash the arguments from the FESCo case. I
just want everyone treated the same. And we are talking about an
election to a body on its deathbed.

Comment (by mattdm):
At yesterday's meeting: "Because we value participation over strict
bureaucracy ('Friends' foundation!) candidates for Fedora objections may
be accepted within a reasonable grace period after the deadline. However,
be aware that this may mean missing out on Fedora Magazine interviews,
town halls, and other opportunities for campaigning."
That doesn't mean we'll do it every time (note "may"), and we
certainly
don't want a habit of late submissions (making the whole schedule slip),
but we're glad to see people interested in running and in Fedora
leadership positions.
