This Wednesday at Noon CST, the OpenStack Governance Elections Nominations process will close and all approved candidates will be entered into the Election Tool. Elections will run from August 25 – September 4 at Noon CST.
Elections
The following four separate votes will be conducted during this election cycle:
- NOVA Project Team Lead (1 Position)
- SWIFT Project Team Lead (1 Position)
- GLANCE Project Team Lead (1 Position)
- Project Policy Board (3 Open Seats)
In addition, Eric Day has resigned his seat on the PPB with a term ending Spring 2012. To fill his seat for the next 6 months, the 4th place vote getter in the Project Policy Board election will replace Eric and complete his term. This process change simplifies having to run a special election for his seat. Please contact me if you have any questions on this process for replacing Eric on the board.
Voter Eligibility
Each election has a separate policy for who can vote in the election.
