Dear openSUSE members, We have received two nominations for the two available seats, one of the nominations is still awaiting approval of his openSUSE membership. Therefore the election committee have decided in accordance with our election rules the nomination period will be extended by two weeks, as the number of nominations is less than or equal to the number of available seats. The election committee will keep you posted here on the project mailing list. Ariez Vachha, On behalf of the Election committee. On 15/11/2023 06:41, Ariez Vachha - openSUSE wrote:
