Today we are starting the Nomination & Campaign period during which we accept nominations to the "steering bodies" of the following teams: * FESCo (Engineering) (4 seats) [1] * Fedora Council (1 seat) [2] * Mindshare (1 seat) [3] This period is open until 2018-May-22 at 23:59:59 UTC. The nominees can already start preparing their answers for questions in the Election Questionnaire. The questions can be found in the template files[4]. Nominees submit their questionnaire answers via a private Pagure issue[5]. The Election Wrangler or their backup will publish the interviews to the Community Blog [6] a day before the start of the Voting period (2018-May-30). Please note that the interview is mandatory for all nominees. Nominees not having their interview ready by end of the Interview period (2018-May-29) will be disqualified and removed from the election. Nominees may submit their interview answers immediately and may edit them until the end of the interview period. Nominees are encouraged to begin their interview answers as soon as they accept their nomination. As part of the Campaign people might also ask questions to specific candidates on @devel mailing list, if they want. The full schedule of the May 2018 Elections is available on the Elections wiki page [8].
