This is not a proposal because I didn't talked to Sankar, but I hope he runs for the board this year. There's a few qualities that I admire on him (and he's one of the persons that I would like to meet in person one day), being the most important, his participation in flame wars, somehow he always brings a message of peace and self consciousness, which makes of him a very nice moderator. I hope he runs for the board :) NM 2011/11/16 Thomas Schmidt <tom@opensuse.org>:

It's up to the candites to announce their candidacy on opensuse-project. We (the election committee) will send the list of acknowledged candidates when the application period ends, at 24.11.
We already have some candidates, but it would be good to have some more. So if you would like to join the board, or would like to propose your personal opensuse hero for the board please send a mail to election-officials@opensuse.org!

Thanks for the information. It seems a bit unfortunate to me if intents to run for board are not announced by the candidates at opensuse-project ml. Actually while reading
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election#Phase_0:_Notification_of_Inte... this even is a requirement rather than a "nice to have". To my impression it would be both an opportunity for the community to be kept in the loop right from the beginning and also the initial announcement by candidates to opensuse-project serves as the very first part of the candidates' campaign/platform from my perspective. Thus, it's IMO very desirable for the community to know about the candidates right from the time/date they expressed their intent to run for board as described in the election rules. Is my summary on the subject entirely correct? What do you think about it?
Hi Rupert, you are right, the candidates are supposed to announce their candidacy to opensuse-project and the election-officials at the same time. I just sent them a reminder to do so. My apologies for not being strict with that.
Greetings!
There's also a gray zone, when you said that member can ask to the election-committee member that are not (yet) declared as candidate, and then the committee will ask them.
What's your plan about that, will you wait until the 24 ? but then those candidate will be in late compared to the schedule no ?
We will contact proposed candidates as soon as we get proposals, and ask them if they want to stand up for candidacy, and to announce that on opensuse-project. So far we got no proposals this year :-( So please send us your proposals or ask the people in todays project meeting to send us some!
