The nomination period has finished now. We will now have an election with the following candidates:
- Oriol Abril
- Thomas Wiecki
- Chris Fonnesbeck
- Ravin Kumar
- Osvaldo Martin
- Junpeng Lao
- Brandon T. Willard
- Ricardo Vieira
- Michael Osthege
- Colin Carroll
I checked that everyone was eligible for the steering council, but if someone has concerns on this please comment here in the next day while we set up the voting form with NumFOCUS.
I also want to thank everyone for participating, nominating and liking the posts
. I think liking can be a good way to encourage people who are indecisive to accept their nomination, however, I want to clarify that likes play no role in the nomination or election process, the only exception being someone liking their nomination as a signal of accepting it. In the election we’ll have now, all candidates are treated in the same way, independently of whether their nomination got 0 or 20 likes.
