Autumn Elections 2017: Nomination & Campaign period is open
For this Election cycle [1] we are going to follow a new way how
Elections are organized. It is an outcome of a discussion on Council
level [2] trying to improve participation of the Fedora Community in
the election process.
Today we are starting Nomination & Campaign period when we accept
nominations to "steering bodies" of the following teams:
* FESCo (Engineering) (5 seats) [3]
* Fedora Council (2 seats) [4]
* Mindshare (2 seats) [5]
This period is open until 2017-Dec-04 at 23:59:59 UTC.
The nominees can already start with preparation of answers for
questions in the Election Questionnaire [6]. These answers (aka
interview) are going to be published in Community Blog [7] on the
first day of the Voting period (2017-Dec-05). Please note that the
interview is mandatory for all nominees. Nominees not having their
interview ready by end of the Nomination & Campaign period will be
disqualified from their nominations.
The full schedule of the Autumn Elections 2017 is available on the
Elections wiki page [1] and on the detailed schedule for F27 [8].
