Originally published at: F44 election nominations now open – Fedora Community Blog
The Fedora Project is now in the nomination period during which we accept nominations to the “steering bodies” of the following teams:
- Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) (5 seats)
- Fedora Council (2 seats)
- Fedora Mindshare Committee (4 seats)
- EPEL Steering Committee (3 seats)
This period is open until Thursday, 2026-05-21 at 23:59:59 UTC.
Candidates may self-nominate. If you nominate someone else, check with them first to ensure that they are willing to be nominated before submitting their name.
Nominees do not yet need to complete an interview. However, interviews are mandatory for all nominees. Nominees not having their interview ready by end of the Interview period (2026-05-28) will be disqualified and removed from the election. Nominees will submit questionnaire answers via a private Pagure issue after the nomination period closes on Thursday, 2026-05-21. Either the interim F44 Election Wrangler (Justin Wheeler) or the Fedora Operations Architect (Aoife Moloney) will publish the interviews to the Community Blog before the start of the voting period on Friday, 2026-05-29.
All elected seats are for two-release terms (approximately twelve months). For FESCo specifically, a new two-term consecutive limit was introduced in this election cycle. For more information about FESCo, please visit the FESCo docs.
The full schedule of the elections is available on the Elections schedule. For more information about the elections, process see the Elections docs.
