Open Stack

Candidate proposals for the Technical Committee positions (11 positions) 
are now open and will remain open until 23:59 UTC October 10, 2013.

Candidates for the Technical Committee Positions:
Any Foundation individual member can propose his candidacy for an 
available, directly-elected TC seat. [0][1]

Propose your candidacy by sending an email to the 
openstack-dev at lists.openstack.org mailing-list, with the subject: "TC 
candidacy". Please start your own thread so we have one thread per 
candidate. Since there will be many people voting for folks with whom 
they might not have worked, including a platform or statement to help 
voters make an informed choice is recommended, though not required.

Thierry and I will confirm candidates with an email to the candidate 
thread as well as create a link to the confirmed candidate's proposal 
email on the wikipage for this election. [2]

Given that my prior request for a stemming of the +1 emails went largely 
unnoticed and some folks feel it necessary to offer a testimonial for 
the candidate of their choice, if you have submitted a candidate 
proposal and have not received a confirmation within 24 hours (except if 
you are submitting within the remaining 24 hours, in which case please 
act before the deadline) please pm myself (anteaya) or Thierry (ttx) on 
irc so we see your candidate proposal and acknowledge you. We don't want 
to miss anybody.

The election will be held from October 11 through to October 17, 2013. 
The electorate 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), as 
well as the 2 non-code ATCs who were acknowledged by the TC.

Candidates ranking 1st to 6th will get one-year seats, and candidates 
ranking 7th to 11th will get 6-month seats.

Please see the wikipage for additional details about this election. [2]

If you have any questions please be sure to either voice them on the 
mailing list or email myself at the above email address or contact 
Thierry or myself on IRC.

Thank you, and I look forward to reading your candidate proposals,
Anita Kuno (anteaya)

[1] Note: After this election, I am going to submit a proposal to the TC 
that the wording for the charter include her in this sentence, as in 
"Any Foundation individual member can propose his/her candidacy ..." but 
that is not the wording of the charter at present, though I do believe 
it is the spirit.
