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.
