This snuck up on us. Was http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2019-March/ 003677.html the first request for nominations? I thought we'd have more notice.
The first specific communication from the election officials was
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2019-March/003505.htm...
but it happens roughly every 6 months and is included on the election schedule like https://releases.openstack.org/stein/schedule.html but happy to find out other good ways to reach out. This time was a little tricky since the PTL election nominations opened immediately following conclusion of the TC election, so we had to choose between making confusing pre-nomination announcements or withholding them until the start of the nomination week.
yeah, I should have probably looked for that and setup a calendar reminder. A couple things we could potentially do in future (via script?): * ping the appropriate IRC channel * email the current PTLs directly
I've been transitioning off of OpenStack development :( and the folks who are taking up that mantle with PowerVMStackers are all in India and asleep, so there's not a lot we can do about this in the next few hours. I believe there's at least one person who was going to nominate themselves, so it shouldn't end up leaderless. I'll try to get them to do that as quickly as possible.
If they're not a current contributor to any of the PowerVMStackers repositories (from some other private conversations in which I've been engaged I gather they may not be?) then it will need to be up to the TC to appoint them to the post anyway.
Divya has put in a nomination now [1], but it was past the deadline. I believe she meets the criteria and would make a great PTL. [1] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/643003/
