[Starlingx-discuss] [tsc] Upcoming TSC elections

[Ildiko Vancsa]

Hi StarlingX Community,

It is a friendly reminder that the time for the fall election[1] period is coming up fast and we already started the planning process.

We need to decide on timeframe for the elections. We are only running TSC[2] elections in the Spring, where we have a nomination, a campaign and a voting period. In line with that, we are looking for a 3-week timeframe that doesn’t collide with any major holidays or milestones in the release process. The currently proposed timeline would be the following:

TSC nomination starts @ May 09, 2023 20:45 UTC
TSC nomination ends @ May 16, 2023 20:45 UTC

TSC campaigning starts @ May 16, 2023 20:45 UTC
TSC campaigning ends @ May 23, 2023 20:45 UTC

TSC election starts @ May 23, 2023 20:45 UTC
TSC election ends @ May 30, 2023 20:45 UTC

I already created a patch to update the election timeline: https://review.opendev.org/c/starlingx/election/+/880216

Please leave a comment on the review or reply to this thread if you see any issues with the above timeline by __end of day Monday (April 17)__.

@TSC: Please approve the timeline if it looks good to you by leave a ‘+1’ review on the above patch.

If you have any questions or comments please reply to this thread or reach out to the election officials[3].

Thanks,
