Dec 2018 Fedora Elections: Nomination & Campaign period is open

[Ben Cotton]

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 2018-Nov-28 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 nominees can already start preparing their answers for questions
in the Election Questionnaire. The questions can be found in the
template files[4].

Nominees submit their questionnaire answers via a private Pagure
issue[5].  The Election Wrangler or their backup will publish the
interviews to the Community Blog [6] a day before the start of the
Voting period (2018-Dec-06).

Please note that the interview is mandatory for all nominees. Nominees
not having their interview ready by end of the Interview period
(2018-Dec-05) will be disqualified and removed from the election.
Nominees may submit their interview answers immediately and may edit
them until the end of the interview period.

Nominees are encouraged to begin their interview answers as soon as
they accept their nomination.

As part of the Campaign people might also ask questions to specific
candidates on @devel mailing list, if they want.

The full schedule of the December 2018 Elections is available on the
Elections schedule[7].
