Announcing the 2020 OpenTelemetry Governance Committee Election

Hi Everyone! The OpenTelemetry project is excited to announce the 2020 OpenTelemetry Governance Committee election. In the election this year, there are four seats that need to be filled. The nominees will be shared on October 15, voting will take place between October 26–28, and the final election results will be announced October 30.

Vote!

If you are a member of standing in the OpenTelemetry community, we invite you to participate in this election cycle to ensure that the community is well-represented by the Governance Committee. In this election four people must be elected, each with two-year terms. Two current Governance Committee members — Liz Fong-Jones and Morgan McLean — will be completing their first terms as part of this election cycle and are eligible to run again. If you have not made enough contributions or your contributions are non-code contributions, you can still register to vote in the election before 12:01am GST on Oct 25th.

Voting will be held between 12:01am GST on Oct 26 and 12:01am GST on Oct 28 via a link to be delivered via email.
