The OpenInfra login seems to be asking for a rather wild number of permissions: " Allow access to your profile info. Allow access to your email info. Allow access to your address info. Use Openid Connect Protocol Allow to emit refresh tokens (offline access without user presence). Read our own member profile and personal information Allow write my speaker profile data Read access to my speaker profile Allow to read organization data Allow to write organization data Get My Member Info Allow to write my member information Add events to your schedule Remove events from your schedule Create Shareable schedule Delete shareable schedule Allow access to write your Profile.

Hello Stackers,
Election season is here, and we want to ensure every voice that helps build OpenStack is heard. I would like you to take a moment to verify your "Active Contributor" [1] and OpenInfra Foundation membership status so you don't miss your chance to vote.
To receive a ballot for the OpenStack TC elections, you must be a contributor to OpenStack repositories _and_ hold the status of "OIF Individual Member." To receive a ballot for a PTL election, you must have contributed to any of a project team's repositories _and_ hold the status of "OIF Individual Member."
Check your membership level: ========================
Log in to your profile at https://openinfra.org/a/profile.
Even if you’ve been a member for years, the OpenInfra Foundation (OIF) has a policy that automatically downgrades memberships to "OIF Community Member" if you haven't voted in recent Governing Board elections [2]. Upon logging in, if you see that you are an "OIF Community Member," you can restore your "OIF Individual Member" status on that profile page.
Get recognized as an "Active Contributor": ================================
While our policy traditionally focuses on contributors to OpenStack's git repositories, we know that impactful work happens far beyond just code and documentation. We definitely value the "intangible" work that keeps this community running.
If you haven’t contributed code or documentation to a repository during the 2025.2–2026.1 timeframe (March 14, 2025 – February 18, 2026), you can still vote! Please reach out to the PTL or DPL liaison of the project team you’ve supported and request to be added as an "Extra AC" (Extra Active Contributor) today [3]. The deadline to do this is February 13, 2026.
If you run into issues or have questions about your eligibility, the TC would be happy to help. Simply reply to this thread, or chime in on OFTC's #openstack-tc IRC channel.
Thanks, Goutham Pacha Ravi (gouthamr)
