Now that we have elected the Project Technical Leads for the next release, the OpenStack community is called to elect the last 3 members of the OpenStack Technical Committee<\/a>. Per section 4.1(b) of the OpenStack Foundation bylaws<\/a>, the Technical Committee (“TC”) is a technical meritocracy managing all the technical matters relating to OpenStack. It replaces the “Project Policy Board” from the old governance.<\/p>\n

Anyone who would like to be a candidate for this election may now submit their names!<\/p>\n

Valid candidates, like voters, must be an Active Technical Contributor, which means:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. they have contributed at least one change to one of the official OpenStack projects[3] (over which the TC has final authority) in the year preceding 23:59 PST, August 29, 2012; and<\/li>\n
  2. they are an individual member of the Foundation by 23:59 PST, September 13, 2012.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The 10 already-elected members (recently-elected PTLs and PPB members that were elected to a one-year seat last Spring) cannot run.<\/p>\n

    To submit your name for the ballot, please send an email to the openstack@lists.launchpad.net<\/a> mailing list with the following information included:<\/p>\n

    Subject: TC candidacy
    \nBody: Ideally, a description of your platform, your technical\/leadership credentials, experience, etc. — in short, anything that will be useful
    \nfor voters to assess your qualifications as a member of the OpenStack Technical Committee.<\/p>\n

    Your candidacy will then be validated, on the same thread, by one of the election officials (Stefano Maffulli, Duncan McGreggor, Thierry Carrez).<\/p>\n

    The deadline to submit your candidacy is 23:59 PDT, September 19<\/em>. The election will then run from September 21 to September 27<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    There is more information on the election process, including how we’ll break any tie<\/a> on the wiki. Let us know if there’s anything more we can do to make this process as transparent as possible!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
