The following elections take place at the end of the Fedora Linux 41 release cycle:
- Mindshare Committee (four seats)
The elected positions cover the community at large. Recently the Mindshare committee has undergone a change in focus areas, and the committee is now centred around supporting local events, community recognition programs and creating digital ambassadorship for the Fedora Project. See the Mindshare docs for more details regarding Mindshare goals and structure.
The following Mindshare members are finishing their term, and in the new structure there are four seats up for election.
- Alberto Rodríguez Sánchez (bt0dotninja)
- Luis Bazan (lbazan)
- Máirín Duffy (duffy)
- Nick Bebout (nb)
- Petr Bokoč (pbokoc)
- Smera Goel (smeragoel)
- Sumantro Mukherjee (sumantrom)
- Onuralp Sezer (thunderbirdtr)
Voting eligibility is determined by a community member's Fedora Accounts group memberships.
To vote for the Mindshare committee you must have cla_done in FAS.
A set of questions for nominees is prepared by existing Mindshare committee members. Nominees are requested to answer the selected questions using private issue in Pagure. In compliance with Fedora Council decision #135 nominees not having completed their interviews (as a private issue in Pagure) are excluded from the list of nominees.
Candidate Nominations
Please nominate just by Name, IRC nick and FAS account ID.
You may self-nominate. If you wish to nominate someone else, please consult with that person ahead of time.
In the new Mindshare Committee structure, there are four seats for election, with two term lengths. The top two vote-earning candidates will serve one-year terms. The third and fourth top vote-earning candidates will serve six-month terms.
Do not complete the interview questions during the nomination period as the question set is still being finalised. The current set is a sample set which candidates may read and use to prep the formal interview questions when nominating. Candidates will be notified when the interview questions are 'live' to answer during the interview period by the elections manager (amoloney).
