I encourage everyone in the community -- if you're seeing this email and didn't vote; take action *today* to ensure you'll be setup for the next election. We had over 600 contributors in the Antelope development cycle; only 309 of those were eligible to receive a ballot and only 51 of those voted. Over the last year we've heard a number of stories about parts of the OSS -- and cloud ecosystems getting less open. I appreciate that we operate OpenStack under the four opens; but with that comes the responsibility to participate in the processes that help ensure we remain open.

All that is to say: the requirements to be eligible to vote are simple, and are enumerated here: https://governance.openstack.org/election/#electorate -- the hard part, contributing to OpenStack, most of you have already done! Please don't find yourself in six months wondering why you weren't able to vote again; let's get it knocked out today!

Thanks,

Jay Faulkner
