Timeline

Elected Positions
Under the rules of the TC charter, we need to renew 6 TC seats for this election. Seats are valid for one-year terms.
- Technical Committee member - 6 positions
Electorate
The electorate for this election are the Foundation individual members that are also committers for one of the official project teams repositories over the Kilo-Liberty timeframe (September 18, 2014 06:00 UTC to September 18, 2015 05:59 UTC)
The electorate is requested to confirm their email address in gerrit, review.openstack.org > Settings > Contact Information > Preferred Email, prior to September 18, 2015 so that the emailed ballots are mailed to the correct email address.
There is a resolution to the governance repo that all of the electorate is expected to follow: http://governance.openstack.org/resolutions/20140711-election-activities.html
Candidates
Any individual member of the foundation can propose their candidacy (except the seven TC members who were elected for a one-year seat last April).
Nominees propose their candidacy by submitting a text file to the openstack/election repository before October 1, 05:59 UTC. The file must be placed in candidates/<cycle>/TC/<candidate_name>.txt. The candidacy is then confirmed by elections officials through gerrit vote. See bellow for a step by step documentation.
How to submit your candidacy
