Hi, the openSUSE board decided to extend the deadline for announcing candidacy for the next openSUSE board [1]. just for accuracy, the openSUSE Board proposed this to the election committee and the committee obviously support this proposal. The election process is in hands of the election committee and the Board doesn't have any decision power in here. In short, the period for membership request and announcing candidacy is extended by one week. And the period of campaigning is shortened to 1 week to stay with the election starting date Dec 8.
Best Michael
