How to submit your candidacy
If you are not already familiar with OpenStack development workflow, see this more detailed documentation: http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html
Candidacies now need to be submitted as a text file to the openstack/election repository. Here are the required steps:
- Clone the election repository: git clone git://git.openstack.org/openstack/election
- Write your candidacy to: cd election; candidates/mitaka/TC/<your_name>.txt
- Commit your candidacy: git add candidates/mitaka/TC/*.txt; git commit -m "Adding <your_name> candidacy for TC"
- Submit your candidacy: git review
Once it's submitted to gerrit, verification and approval is being done by elections officials. Then the approved candidate list below is updated.
