[Calum Murray]

Hello Knative community,

It's time to kick off the Knative Steering Committee elections for 2025. There are 2 seats up for the proposed 2 year term. All candidate's nominations are due by November 24th, 23:59 UTC (4:59pm Pacific). I've included more information below on the Steering Committee, nomination process, voter eligibility, and election timeline.

The Knative Steering Committee

The Knative Steering Committee is responsible for the general health of the Knative community, as well as establishing and coordinating other working groups. The Steering Committee charter can be found here: https://github.com/knative/community/blob/main/STEERING-COMMITTEE.md#charter

As of September 2024, this committee also includes the previous technical guidance role provided by the Technical Oversight Committee, which was merged into this body.

Contributor Election Seats

In this election, there are 2 contributor seats up for election for 2 year terms each. All eligible voters are eligible to run for the election.
