An important part of OpenStack’s culture is to elect its tech leaders every six months: we’re in the process of electing the Project Tech Leads for the next 6 months release cycle. Our governance model based on merit is one of the strong points of our community. Except otherwise-noted in the\u00a0program<\/a> description, the electorate for a given program PTL election are the Foundation individual members that are also committers for one of the program projects over the Grizzly-Havana timeframe (from 2012-09-27 to 2013-09-26, 23:59 PST).<\/p>\n

This week from Sep 20 to Sep 26 the candidates to PTL positions can offer themselves. The e-voting booths will be open from Sep 27 to Oct 3. Elections will be held using CIVS and a Condorcet algorithm (Schulze\/Beatpath\/CSSD variant). Any tie will be broken using TieBreaking rules<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After the PTLs are elected<\/a> we will also elect the members of the Technical Committee<\/a>. This is the first election with the\u00a0new TC charter<\/a>: we renew 11 TC seats for this election. Candidates ranking 1st to 6th will get one-year seats, and candidates ranking 7th to 11th will get 6-month seats.\u00a0 The electorate for TC election are the Foundation individual members that are also committers for one of the official programs projects over the Grizzly-Havana timeframe (from 2012-09-27 to 2013-09-26, 23:59 PST).<\/p>\n

Any member of an election electorate can propose his\/her candidacy for the same election (except the two TC members who were elected for a one-year seat last Spring, Vishvananda Ishaya and Thierry Carrez). No nomination is required.\u00a0 More details on the dedicated wiki page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
