Hello All!

Nominations for OpenStack PTLs (Program Team Leads) are now open and will remain open until Mar 12, 2019 23:45 UTC.

All nominations must be submitted as a text file to the openstack/election repository as explained at http://governance.openstack.org/election/#how-to-submit-a-candidacy

Please make sure to follow the new candidacy file naming convention: candidates/<cycle>/<project_name>/<email_address>.

In order to be an eligible candidate (and be allowed to vote) in a given PTL election, you need to have contributed to the corresponding team[0] during the Feb 09, 2018 00:00 UTC - Feb 19, 2019 00:00 UTC timeframe (Rocky to Stein). You must also be an OpenStack Foundation Individual Member in good standing. To check if your membership is up to date, go to https://www.openstack.org/community/members and search for your name.

Additional information about the nomination process can be found here:
https://governance.openstack.org/election/

Shortly after election officials approve candidates, they will be listed here:
https://governance.openstack.org/election/#train-ptl-candidates

The electorate is requested to confirm their email address in gerrit[1], prior to 2019-02-22 00:00:00+00:00 so that the emailed ballots are mailed to the correct email address. This email address should match that which was provided in your foundation member profile[2] as well.

Happy running,
