Open Stack

Nominations for OpenStack PTLs (Program Technical Leads) are now open
and will remain open until September 26, 2014 05:59 UTC.

To announce your candidacy please start a new openstack-dev at
lists.openstack.org mailing list thread with the program name as a tag,
example [Glance] PTL Candidacy with the body as your announcement of
intent. People who are not the candidate, please refrain from posting +1
to the candidate announcement posting.

I'm sure the electorate would appreciate a bit of information about why
you would make a great PTL and the direction you would like to take the
program, though it is not required for eligibility.

In order to be an eligible candidate (and be allowed to vote) in a given
PTL election, you need to have contributed an accepted patch to one of
the corresponding program's projects[0] during the Icehouse-Juno
timeframe (September 26, 2013 06:00 UTC to September 26, 2014 05:59 UTC).

We need to elect PTLs for 22 programs this round:
* Compute (Nova) - one position
* Object Storage (Swift) - one position
* Image Service (Glance) - one position
* Identity (Keystone) - one position
* Dashboard (Horizon) - one position

As Tristan and I confirm candidates, we will reply to each email thread
with "confirmed" and add each candidate's name to the list of confirmed
candidates on the above wiki page.

Elections will begin on September 26, 2014 after 06:00 UTC (as soon as
we get each election set up we will start it, it will probably be a
staggered start) and run until after 13:00 UTC October 3, 2014.

The electorate is requested to confirm their email address in gerrit,
review.openstack.org > Settings > Contact Information >  Preferred
Email, prior to September 26, 2014 05:59 UTC so that the emailed
ballots are mailed to the correct email address.

Happy running,
Anita Kuno (anteaya)
