Just to follow up on this: No nomination were received, so there is no change in the WG Chairs. We (Ondrej and myself) are happy to continue. Next chance to become a WG chair is in a year.

Everyone,

The fall RIPE is coming up and this is the time for Open Source WG chair elections.

Nomination period is from NOW until Sept 11, 23:59 GMT

Chair selection is as follows: - If there are no nominations, then it will continue as is without any vote (both myself and Ondrej are willing to continue) - If there is a nomination, then we will try to decide in a consensus (between existing maintainers and nominees) on how to proceed - i.e. replace someone or add someone as a 3rd maintainer) - If the consensus fails (i.e. if one of the nominations wants to force a vote to replace an existing maintainer and there is a disagreement), then we’ll have a public vote during the Open Source WG (Consensus between existing maintainers and all the nominees) See https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/open-source-working-group/open-sour... for details.

So if you want to become a 3rd WG chair (not replacing any existing ones or if you want to force a re-election vote against a specific (or any) current WG chair, then this is the time to do so.

Please send your nomination to opensource-wg-chairs@ripe.net

If you miss this chance, then the next nomination period is in one year (each Fall RIPE meeting) The new WG chair starts after the Fall RIPE meeting.
