OpenStack Governance Elections: Technical Committee http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/09/openstack-governance-elections-technical-committee/

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 http://wiki.openstack.org/Governance/Foundation/TechnicalCommittee. Per section 4.1(b) of the OpenStack Foundation bylaws http://wiki.openstack.org/Governance/Foundation/Bylaws, 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.
