What to do if you don't see the email even though you are eligible to vote: * check the trash or spam folders of your Gerrit Preferred Email address, in case it went into trash or spam * wait a bit and check again, in case your email server is a bit slow * you might’ve missed to opt-in in the CIVS system, you will need to follow the steps of the process[3] and then email the election officials[4] to resend you the ballot * email the election officials to help you sort out the issue If we can confirm that you are entitled to vote, we will add you to the voters list for the appropriate election.

[Starlingx-discuss] 'extra-atcs' field in the projects.yaml file
by Ildiko Vancsa 18 Nov '22

18 Nov '22

Hi StarlingX community, A few of you have raised the question of what the ‘extra-atcs’ field represents in the governance repository. To help with providing answer to that question I created a patch to add it to the description of the election process. You can find the patch here: https://review.opendev.org/c/starlingx/election/+/864580 Please add questions and comments to the review if the description is not clear. Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Senior Manager, Community & Ecosystem Open Infrastructure Foundation

[Starlingx-discuss] Pausing stx + stx-openstack sanity runs
by Calixto de Paula, Gabriel 18 Nov '22

18 Nov '22

Hi all, After some discussion, we've decided to pause momentarily the STX-Openstack sanity executions for the community mailing list, as we are facing some issues with StarlingX CentOS builds, that are affecting the results for STX-Openstack, since the debian migration is not finished yet. With the conclusion of this migration, we'll come back to send the results here on the mailing list, and keep you all posted. Regards Gabriel
