Nomination period has been opened: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2015-November/001705.html

Campaign period: Tue 2015-11-24 ... Mon 2015-11-30

This is right over the US Thanksgiving holiday period, and likely to get very little attention. Do you think we could extend the schedule by a week?

The Nomination period has ended, the Campaign period has started.

We have got enough nominees for Council, FESCo and FAmSCo, so the Elections can go on for these teams/group.

Unfortunately there are [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Env_and_Stacks/Nominations not enough nominees for Env&Stacks working group] to cover all the opened seats. I am going to talk to the working group to find out a "Backup plan", how to deal with this issue.

Campaign period: Tue 2015-11-24 ... Mon 2015-11-30

This is right over the US Thanksgiving holiday period, and likely to get very little attention. Do you think we could extend the schedule by a week?

I have prolonged the Campaign period for one week. The schedule is now as follows:
November 24 - December 07: "Campaign" period
December 08-14: Voting Open
* December 15: Results announcement

Individual emails sent to FESCo & FAmSCo nominees, asking them to publish answers to questions in Election Questionnaire (and other info if they like) on Fedora Community Blog. Sending individual emails to nominees for Council seats is in progress.

The communication with nominees has been split between the following people:
bee2502: FESCo nominees
jkurik: FAmSCo nominees
* jkurik: Council nominees

Status of Env&Stacks Elections is discussed in this [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/env-and-stacks%40lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/GWWBPNGGZBNGMYZFNVGARWQNS27PCUZV/ thread]. Currently we are on hold with Elections for this WG.

A nominee who applied late for FAmSCo nominees has been removed from the list.

At yesterday's meeting: "Because we value participation over strict bureaucracy ('Friends' foundation!) candidates for Fedora objections may be accepted within a reasonable grace period after the deadline. However, be aware that this may mean missing out on Fedora Magazine interviews, town halls, and other opportunities for campaigning."

That doesn't mean we'll do it every time (note "may"), and we certainly don't want a habit of late submissions (making the whole schedule slip), but we're glad to see people interested in running and in Fedora leadership positions.
