Hello Kata Citizens,
On behalf of myself - Steven Horsman (@stevenhorsman), Alex Lyn (@Apokleos)
and Ildiko Vancsa (@ildikov) as the election officials, it's a pleasure to announce
that the October 2024 Kata Containers Architecture Committee (AC) elections
are now open!
There are three[1] AC seats up for election in this round. These are currently filled
by Fupan Li, Gerry Liu and Greg Kurz.
The timeline for the election process is:
The window is now open for candidates to post their submissions
The process to submit a nomination is as follows:
1) Review the responsibilities of the Architecture Committee members [2]
2) Between now and October 8th at 14:59 UTC, you can declare your candidacy for
one of the open seats by submitting a text file with your name (please put
your name as the file name), the reason for running, and your
platform/objectives to this folder [3].
Who can vote:
Anyone who has had a commit merged into the project in the last 12 months
will be eligible to vote. All eligible voters will receive an email with a
link to the voting system once the voting period opens.
Debate period:
Note that once candidacy entry has closed and we enter the debate period, we
will be openly asking the candidates some questions around their candidacy.
The community is encouraged to submit questions via the election officials,
so get your thinking caps on now in preparation... we shall then filter, review,
and choose a set of suitable questions for the candidates.
More details of the election process are outlined at [4].
Please let us know if you have any questions about running for a seat or
the election process!
Thank you,
Steven Horsman
