[Ambassadors] Fedora Ambassadors Steering Committee Election

[Francesco Ugolini]

Hi,
it's time to hold a new election for FAmSCo. As many of you know FAmSCo
members stay in charge for 2 major releases of Fedora (more info at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Election/Rules
).

Now, i want to know if you need a new FAmSCo election. If yes, please, tell
me your preferred dates.




Few guidelines before starting the discussion (taken from FAmSCo elections
guidelines):

1. Candidates may be any member of the Ambassadors group in the Fedora
Accounts System. This helps ensure FAmSCo members have some experience with
the processes of Fedora Ambassadors but still allows relatively new
contributors to sit on FAmSCo and bring fresh ideas to the table.

2. *Candidates must self-nominate at least two days before the voting period
opens* by writing their information onto the wiki (Fedora account, email and
irc nick, statement of past contributions and what they hope to accomplish
while a member of FAmSCo.)

3. *In order to hold an election a minimum number of candidates are
necessary.* This will be the number of open seats + 25%. If there are 7
seats available, there will need to be at least 9 candidates. If not enough
candidates have signed up by the deadline, the election will be held back by
one week for more candidates to be nominated. If there are still not enough
candidates, the candidates who are present will be voted upon (or merely
confirmed if there are less candidates than open seats.)

4. If a candidate no longer wishes to be on FAmSCo, they have to withdraw
their name from the list of nominations at least 24 hours before the voting
period opens, to avoid having their name being added to the ballot.
